MegaCon 2012

[Arsenalherd]

looking at taking family to Orlando next year and seen this event near where we normally stay, is it a good one to go to? never really heard or seen this one before and wondering if anyone can offer some feedback of past years, thanks.

My favorite show of the year. Be prepared to see millions of dressed up teenies, especially on Saturday. A lot of Japanese anime costumes and kids just there to be seen by their friends and hang out. That being said, it's a great atmosphere, and a lot of fun, easily my best show of the year.

Last year they had Stan Lee and William Shatner, and the place was jammed. The guest list for 2012 so far is very unexciting, so I'd recommend waiting to see the final list. (If you're into that.) I do tell everybody to bring a want list whenever you go to a show. It helps you and it helps the dealer help you.

Here is my con report for the 2011 Megacon show. It has a lot of video and

should give you an idea of what to expect.

Any con south of MN is a good one to go to when it's -30.

Talked to Beth yesterday. I'm already pumped and it's 6 months away.

It's a fun show. I often have success filling want lists there, and it's a fun atmosphere. Saturday can be a little annoying with cramped aisles filled with anime kids taking pictures. Hard to get around if you're carrying anything! . Always a blast though.
