I guess the title says it all..For those of us who'd like to go to one without the plane ticket costs.

There was one earlier this year in New Jersey, right outside of Philadelphia. It was a toy collectors convention, but the theme was Transformers and GI Joe. I think it was called New Jersey Collectors Convention.

NOT in the USA, but I found one in Toronto, Canada that I'm going to try getting to. http://www.tfcon.ca/. If anyone wants to drop me a note concerning this event, go right ahead. Otherwise I will study the details and map concerning my ability to drive there. So far this event looks like it'd be a lot easier for me to get to then the one in WI and the one in CA.

If a closer one comes along, that would be nice too.

I wish there was one on the East Coast of the US :(

If I hadn't gone to Cali a few months back I could probably to Toronto TF con. Ah well. Next year maybe.

I dunno why Hasbro doesn't do TF Con over on the East cost more often :/ A part of their company is in Rhode Island! And I think they only did it there once :/ NYC, Philadelphia and Boston are other HUGE hubs for people too. Granted those are in the North-east, but at least they're on the east coast and they are major cities. Places people can be tourists too without a car... I wasn't very impressed when I was in Burbank a few months back.

Northeast is what I want actually, should have added that. Yeah, I don't know why since there's a MLP fair in July in RI.

I'd love to go to both, but since I'm trying to replace some TFs, I'd rather go to the TF one.

There was once a TF convention that would be in New Jersey once a year and once in NYC.

But I dont think they have done a show since 2005
