Re: Toy Event listing - Comiccon ... in CHICAGO???!!! 2010! Portland? in January??? I take Joes point - actually WonderCon is sort filling the niche. .. and Joe.. its up to you to make it bigger! bring a friend!
Re: Toy Event listing - Comiccon ... in CHICAGO???!!! 2010! Why not? Portland is always nice. Maybe a bit chilly that time of year... it'd keep us geeks on our toes.
Re: Toy Event listing - Comiccon ... in CHICAGO???!!! 2010! Portland is a great city. I always try to make it down when I'm in Seattle.
Re: Toy Event listing - Comiccon ... in CHICAGO???!!! 2010! It's so cool, I think I'll go there this weekend!
Re: Toy Event listing - Comiccon ... in CHICAGO???!!! 2010! Screw Vegas and Portland...CHI-RAWK!!!!!!!!
Re: Toy Event listing - Comiccon ... in CHICAGO???!!! 2010! I have been waiting for some time for someone to try to end Wizard World being the sole "big" convention in Chicago. After going to G-Fest last year for the first time, a friend and I agreed that this year we would just go to that and probably skip WW. Hopefully some toy companies will be represented.

Re: Toy Event listing - MASSIVE UPDATES! But at the Messe in Chiba, not Big Site. Takes a long time to get there from Tokyo and walk to the site. Not clear yet what sort of dealer turn out there will be.
Re: Toy Event listing - MASSIVE UPDATES! no reason to think it won't be full on. most of the dealers drive to the shows.
Re: Toy Event listing - MASSIVE UPDATES! The ones I've spoken with aren't sure if they'll attend. I think people are waiting to see how this will go - track the snowball and all that.... About the venue, of course space is a premium in Tokyo, but Chiba is quite a distance, so getting 40-50,000 people to head out (as well as overcoming the bad karma of the escalator incident) could be tough. I guess it's all going to boil down to the list of attendees and pent up demand for a big show. Lower admission prices would also help offset transport costs to and from the Messe. Well, one good thing about the venue is there's plenty of eatin', drinkin', and shoppin' nearby, so you really can make a day + night of it.
Re: Toy Event listing - MASSIVE UPDATES! It's only half an hour from Tokyo by train. Lots of big events are held there, including Super Sonic, Tokyo Game show, Tokyo Motor show. I'll still be going (not that I myself will be pulling in a huge crowd).
Re: Toy Event listing - MASSIVE UPDATES! Yeah I know, but it's not the same (time or price wise) as a quick subway ride to the Big Site. Not sure if those added costs (coupled with the deep recession and toy market crash) will deter the 40K strong WF faithful. Anyway, hopefully things will come together. There's been an interesting mix of smaller events this year, but there's nothing quite like the spectacle of WF!
Re: Toy Event listing - MASSIVE UPDATES! I may not be going - but thats cause I am planning to hit San Diego. Now THATS along way from Tokyo
Re: Toy Event listing - MASSIVE UPDATES! I wonder if this is going to put a damper on my competition for toys? I hope not, more for me!!! But it will be a lot less fun with everyone in SD.
