Ive always wanted to go to the "Joe-Con". Who all here has been to it before? When/where is it? How much is it to get in? Any info/experiences would be appreciated?

It's going to be in Kansas City this year. I'm thinking about going, but with Comicon not too far before, it may be difficult financially. There are a bunch who've gone on this site. The Con set is usually 250-300, plus there are always other figures/vehicles available. They had Rowdy Roddy Piper and Grand Slam and Starduster with Jetpacks, last year there was a special SWAT team. Plus whatever you wanted else to pick up from other sellers. Figure 300-350 with the Con set paid for up front. Don't forget liquor costs!

JoeCon is my first con of any kind. I did decide to split a room and road expenses with a friend of mine. I am planning on meeting and hanging with any Tankers who are gonna be there though. If anyone else decides to go let me know.

Aug 13-16. Attendance was $50 I think for the 3 days. Friday is, I believe, exclusive to full con attendants, plus you get in earlier than the gen. admission folks.

i would say depending on what your trying to spend 1500 bucks is a good amount to bring. the hotel is i believe ruffly 400 bucks for all 3 days plus the cost to get their if you decide to drive or fly, then of course food. so i would say if you live close by your looking at like 5-600 bucks just to get their and have a room and eat plus admission. then depending if you want all the exclusive sets and figures plus whatever other gijoe items venders are selling, its nice to have some cash to throw around. never know what might ketch your eye. it all depends what is good to you, this is just how i look at it and what im going to do. hope this helps.
