Mighty Con 21-23 June ST. Charles IL

I don't know much about this con, but a friend of mine is going.

[Ant-Man]

This is the same show that ran in Wheaton a few times. Moved to Pheasant Run & is their first weekend show.

[vader2001]

How was that show?

[fatninja]

Missed the first one in Wheaton but I was set up at the last one there and had a good day. Sold quite a bit and picked up some great books.

 

3 days seemed kind of a stretch for me on this type of show but I hope they do well.

I may not be able to attend, but my Todd will be there!!

[vader2001]

A little over a week away!

[vader2001]

2 days!

[manetteska]

Anyone go and what did you get?

[vader2001]

I was there and it was a very slow show. I met Bob Mcleod and he did an amazing sketch for me. I will post a picture later.

 

There where great deals to be had, I would be will to say that it was the worst 3 day show ever, well according to the dealers.

[vader2001]

I picked this comic up in hopes that I could have Galactus holding Thanos in his hand. So I asked Bob Mcleod if he would do that for me and this is what I got.

 

[wingnuts]

Why didn't I go?!?!

[vader2001]

I wish you would have!

[manetteska]

I made it to the show, but only for Friday night.

 

Was Mcleod there on Friday?

 

I think I was able to get a few deals, but I did feel bad for the dealers. I thought it would pick up on Saturday and Sunday and people were busy Friday night.

 

Not sure what happened here - good dealers, good prices, a large venue...

[vader2001]

He was there on Friday night, he was behind Priscilla Barnes. My booth was close to Frank Fosco and I asked him also to draw Galactus with Thanos in his hand. Here is what he did for me.

Those sketches are sick, really nice! I was planning on going on Saturday but had too much going on at work to break away.

 

I heard from everyone I know that set up that it was baaaaad. I feel really bad for the dealers and the vendors because booth fees were pricey for that small of show. I also read some post online from creators, and they were really upset. Hate to see stuff like that for any show.

[vader2001]

Yes they where prices where bad, but we made the best of it. Some of the dealers had some great deals. I picked up some and my friends also did. I know 1 dealer was selling a lot of 52 for $1 each. I got 3 Superman Unchained for $1 each and I sold a couple at $3 each. I also picked up another X-men 266 for a great price.

I was there on the Saturday. The show itself was great. Good large venue, lots of good vendors with great deals. It was quieter than I had expected on the Saturday for a venue of that size but it made it easier as a customer to walk around and browse the long boxes. Shame to hear the dealers weren't happy, this is one con I would love to go to again.
