I want to apologize for the lack of information this year for the Official MegaToyFan parts party. I would like to blame it all on Delta Airlines but….on second thought….yeah it was all their fault. In any case, we had a great time and for those who did attend I hope you had as good of a time as I had. We look forward to next time.

Does anyone know the start time/room no. for the mega toy fan parts party?
Chaddicus
You'll know tomorrow just like the rest of us. Compared to last year I'm expecting it to be quite large.

So this is my first TFcon and I was curious what is the dealer room like? Packed? Do people bargain or haggle? Is there a lot of stuff or only a little?
It looks huge from all the fan videos and tf fans I've spoken with, but I am just curious and excited!!
Arkvander
Dealer setup will begin no earlier than 2pm, depending on how fast the room is ready. I'd plan for about 3.
King_Grimlock
When is set up time for dealers on friday?
Cascadia
It will still be a good convention. ; )

No Roberts AND no Milne? Arrrrghhhhhhh! I'm ridiculously bummed!
…but I sincerely do hope Alex feels better soon.
Chaddicus
Might want to update Alex Milne won't be attending either, health issue is forcing him back home and he just arrived in North Carolina.

I have never heard of wanting to contact retailers and request certain items for the convention. Normally, it is first-come-first-serve but retailers usually have a good supply of items that are current and maybe a few years old.

Anyone from Chicagoland going to TFCon hit me up please. Thanks
TransgenderNAIL
Thank you for the info!
Super_Megatron
TFsource, The Chosen Prime, Toy Dojo, Captured Prey, Ages 3 and Up are just a few of the exhibitors that will be there.
TransgenderNAIL
Is it normal to contact online retailers and ask about/request certain items for the convention?
Cascadia
Most likely TFSource will be there since they were in the dealer room last year in Chicago.
TransgenderNAIL
I'm also wanting to know how to find out what retailers are going to be there and how to contact them about certain items.
