Its especially good if you collect more than 1 line, and there's a heavy focus on Transformers, Star Wars, and GI Joe. I also saw stuff that's a little more exotic, like starcom, macross, and like chuck norris: karate kommandoes.
There was also a pretty good mix of retro and new stuff, which was nice.
As to why its in Toronto, I guess its just getting too big for that Burlington hotel, even though it was a nice place.

Anyway, I was super excited about this because I already made a list of Transformers to buy for TFCon '10. But with the spreaded selection (I'm more TF fan than anything else by a long shot), I'll probably just wait till TFCon to grab what I want; more guaranteed. Good luck and have fun to those attending this expo!!

I wonder if they will have new figs for the tfs like new universe guys? | Define "new". Unfortunately, Universe has been put on hiatus and the line hasnt had any releases for a while. If the figure has been released, chances are you'll find it there, but as for speculation on Hasbro's panel, I expect its going to be mainly upcoming movie stuff, since that seems to be the focus until well into next year. But they'll probably also be talking about upcoming GI Joe and Star Wars stuff too, and maybe the Marvel stuff as well.
Of course, I have no way of knowing what Hasbro will talk about, so your guess is probably as good as mine.
