Shanester Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'm just being nosey and letting my curiosity rule. I must say that I am not much for going to cons or genre shows. I have been to a few small local shows and attended Wizard World Texas last year (probably the biggest con for me). This year the International GI Joe con is in my backyard, so I am going to that and San Diego CC 2006 is a stop I am making next month for the first time. I think I am going to do Wizard Texas again this year, but no solid plans yet. What shows/cons are you planning for 2006? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 To be honest I was seriously dissapointed with WWLA last year, so didn't go this year... Giveaway mini's might have swayed me though! I Would have liked to have done Emerald City, to say hi to the guys and support Jaycens efforts but ti was too close to my trip to the UK...maybe next yr... Perhaps I'm just spoilt by having SDCC right on my doorstep but it really does blow everything else away... T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hmmm....I will be attending WWChicago, still mulling over the Transformers Con if it hasn't passed yet. Then I'll be attending some small local cons. Was also thinking of going to Heroes con since it's about an hour from my sister's home, we'll see how things pan out. SDCC is tentative on personal problems. Have everything ready, just not at a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'm going to Heroes Con in Charlotte this weeked. I've already been to Pittsburgh back in April. Will probalby go to Baltimore in the fall. JL, if you go to Heroes Con let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antacost Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'll be hitting WW Chicago again... I think. It's still kinda up in the air right now. Hoping to go though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivenom Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I'll be at WWC for the fourth straight year, though I must admit I'm looking more forward to visiting the four LEGO brand retail stores in the Chicago area than the show itself.

Amazing.JL Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Yeah those Lego Stores are pretty cool, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 The only thing I may attend in the near future will be the Pittsburgh Toy show........missed the comicon this year, and I just started a new job.......so I'm hoping to at least check that one out!

Aaron Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hell, I live in San Diego and I can't even make it to CC because of work. The chances for me to make it to anything else are pretty much nil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesparrow Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I'd go to SDCC but I'm already buying $300 worth of exclusives. :/ Can't imagine what I'd spend if I were there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fujis Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 ^^^ What about the Canadians? The only con I've ever been to was this year's ECCC in Seattle. It was alright but I think I'm going to have to go to San Diego to see the Mecca of Comic Cons some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
