Adam Baldwin and Julie Benz being there would be enough for me. But I live in Austin and our con is in November. So I'll just have to wait.

Update with some photos!!!
 
It always seems steep especially because nothing is really included. To get pics or autographs you have to pay.

Well, you don't have to pay the artists to sign your cover art, etc. But anyways, guess they need to charge us to host the thing. $5 should do it. :lol

I went to this yesterday. Much smaller affair than last year. It was even in a different exhibition hall at the PA Convention Center. Billy Dee Williams, Adam West, Burt Ward, Jake Lloyd, Margot Kidder, Lou Ferrigno, and Peter Mayhew (who looks terrible and is wheelchair bound) were some of the notables.

Also: Tickets are $25 if you buy online
 
Guys, I am really glad I went today. I picked up a Hot Toys Billy Sole, Sideshow Mace Windu, Sideshow Han Solo: Rebel Captain Bespin and Sideshow Exclusive Luke Skywalker Moisture Farmer for $230!!!
 
I had a FANTASTIC TIME :clap at the Comic Con today!!! I met Pa Kent! John Schneider was the best part. He was so nice AND i got to help him carry his bags out to the limo, so i kind of helped Pa Kent do chores :cuckoo:

Also met Black Canary (AMAZING! :1-1:)

Bought some cool collectables, saw alot of hot chicks :exactly:

All in all, A GREAT DAY AT THE CON!
 
That sounds just awesome! I am getting so excited for the Austin con. But it's still months away. It's hard seeing everyone get to enjoy theirs and I must wait.

But come on everyone, some photos yeah?
 
Pa Kent ? Pffft. That's Bo Duke playing pa Kent. Lol. John was really nice. Got him to sign my diecast general Lee and took some photos. Vivica Fox was really nice too. Talked to her about curb your enthusiasm for about 5 minutes and she didn't try to hock anything
 
I've volunteered every year since 2005 and did it on Friday. I worked the John Schneider-Noah Hathaway-Walking Dead/Zombie Survival Guide-Sandra Taylor-Gena Lee Nolan area. As always it was pretty fun. I was able to talk to the Zombie Survival Guide people and Noah Hathaway. They were both cool. I'd have to say John Schneider was one of the stars of the con. Everyone stopped to see him and the General Lee, even the Philly PD. I asked the Police Officers if modern technology could stop the General Lee and they said they would have just shot the tires.
Noah Hathaway still looks the same, same smile just really fit with some cool tats. He said he really never watched the new Battlestar. He even joked with a little girl about were Artex is these days.
I was able to grad John Schneider's attention for a moment and was able to get him to sign my shirt. What a great guy. He was energetic and it seemed like he really liked the fans. Everyone stopped for him, women young and old, kids, teens, guys stopped, saw him and you could see the awe in their face. He was like royalty. Tall, strong, still looks like he could jump into the old General Lee and jump a couple of cliffs. And, most important, he had a firm hand shake.
