Oh man...the April time does NOT work for us! We have missed the last 2 Joe conventions due to the April dates and it looks like that is now the official designated time of year for Joecon.
We miss spending time with our fellow collectors, setting up our massive Marauder GR con 3 booth set and had hoped to show the new prototypes & design work for our upcoming projects. Oh well, guess we'll have to just get the details of the con as the attendees post them and look forward to a future con with a summer date. Hope all that attend have a great time! MJ |

Only a 2 hr 50 min drive for me.
Not sure if I will go. Yet they have Botcon in St Charles, closer to Chicago. The only reason to have it in Springfield is the town's name. :-p

I didn't take the time to read all 11 pages, so forgive me if this has already been brought up. If the set theme is tied to the location, I could see the twins in business atire FINALLY being made. I doubt the aetting and theme are related, though.

I'm betting it is. Or at least my fingers are crossed. ;)

I doubt I'll get to go (shocker). We are going to Hawaii in the summer. And we also have a DW trip planned in December. I'll probably cherry pick what I want from ebay and such.

Sadly, this teacher comes back from spring that week that Tuesday. Even if it was close enough for me to drive to, I'd still miss the Thursday and Friday of the show.

I live in Springfield and it is an okay place to live but a pain for visiting. As someone else said, look at Bloomington, Peoria, St. Louis, or Chicago for flights and compare that before flying into our "airport." See if you can carpool from one of those other airports. Amtrak runs from all of those, minus Peoria I think, to Springfield and the station is within walking distance of the hotel/convention center. It might be cheaper to stay at a hotel further away and rent a car to drive to the convention each day instead of staying at their hotel. Parking does cost but it is much cheaper than most cities. There are bars in the area and the Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library is also right there.

Never been to JoeCon. Do you have to be there on a certain day to get the exclusives?

A: buy a golden ticket and even then you may not get them. B. Get your registration packet as soon as you can (get in line early) and then get in the club store line behind the GT holders. Traditionally that is Thursday night. anytime after that you take your chances. The Paradrop figure, if there is one, is available after the Friday para drop in the club store.
