    Yeah if I remember correctly Fan Fest was 2 months after NYTF was originally scheduled. Seemed a bit late, though maybe not this time around since they’ve yet to reveal wave 2 of Legacy, unlike last year with Kingdom.

    Depends on which events you are talking about. I liked some of the kingdom reveals we got.

    I miss the industry events and feel it's a real shame their fading out is so casually dismissed by others. Many years ago, I really looked forward to CES because of Nintendo Power's coverage of all the new games and hardware on the way. It made the industry look like a big fun club I might be able to hang out with someday. E3 was never quite the same and then the majors mostly bailed on it for their own shows anyway and now I don't really follow games. Companies bailing on NYTF to run their own mini-events (or not) sounds eerily similar. It really does seem like even more isolation as if we as a society aren't isolated enough already.

    Could not agree more, especially as someone who was lucky enough to attend toyfair as a buyer once (and placed orders for what would end up being the cancelled G2 waves!)

    I miss the HUGE Toyfair updates and what really saddens me is that this hurts a lot of the little guys who are just trying to get their names and products out there...much like how comic book stores closing doesn't hurt Marvel and DC anywhere NEAR as much as it hurts the Dynamites, Xenoscopes, Dark Horses and IDWs. There's a lot of fun toy products where toy fair is really the only shot at getting big or small buyers attention.

    I have no problem with this. It's a shame that small media outlets won't get to cover TF, Star Wars, GI Joe, Marvel, and all the rest in person, that's the only real drawback in my eyes, but human safety far outpaces anything as trivial as this.
