a3quit4s | 4,398 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Just booked up a hotel room and a Saturday only ticket for this event. Shit better be crazy cause $60 for a one day pass is expensive! At least I don’t have to fly for this one it’s about a 3 hour drive from me. Midwest Gaming Convention is less than a month away so I’m excited for that as well. I think next year I’m going to hit a west coast event. Anyone else headed to this one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3quit4s | 4,398 Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 Just bumping this back up. Was cool to meet a bunch of VGSers at Midwest Gaming Classic, surely some have to be headed to this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link | 2,887 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Would have been cool when I lived in Philly. I missed MGC, maybe next year. I'm in Chicago so that's my closest VG con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,398 Posted June 29 Author Share Posted June 29 Made it to the Dunkin near the convention center! Took me about 2.5 hours or so from my house in NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Count | 600 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 @a3quit4s What are you looking forward to doing at the show? Looking for anything in particular from the vendor area? I missed the last MGC, but maybe I'll attend again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for anything in particular from the vendor area? I missed the last MGC, but maybe I'll attend again next year. I’m usually all about the marketplace but I’ll do free play games sometimes when I need to sit down. Too Many Games wasn’t as big as MGC and they had like a whole hall dedicated to tabletop gaming which isn’t really my thing. The free play area wasn’t as big either but there was a decent amount to play. I think I walked around for about 4 hours before taking off. I probably wouldn’t come to this show every year even though it’s about a 2.5 hour drive one way from my house. The marketplace was decent but I’m just running out of stuff I am even looking for. Plus conventions aren’t really where you go to find deals anymore, you are better off saving the time and money and hit eBay or someone you know. I still can’t understand why every game convention I go to, there is random fucking wrestling tucked away in a corner somewhere lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Count | 600 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I feel that. As a set collector, once you start winding down it's only sports commons, variants, and heavy hitters left on the checklist. I try to bulk deal common CIBs at shows because I don't want to pay $6 shipping for a $6 CIB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good reason to go if you have one close enough to you where you don’t also have to pay for a hotel room and whatever else - taking that all into account you are probably paying more per game even if they cut you a deal lol I’ve got all the fulls sets I need so I’m just after rares these days. I was looking for el Viento for Genesis and I found two, both missing the manuals for $275 and $300 - no wiggle on both when I can get one CIB on eBay for ~$300 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
