Wondercon 2018 Recap

Wondercon 2018 has come and gone. The weather turned out really nice despite the gray skies and downpours of rain the day before. Traveling down to Anaheim was no joke. We've never seen it rain so hard in Southern California. Lots of freeways were filled with water and you know traffic is already insane during the dry normal days. With the rain it was just a huge mess and the traffic was obviously worse. Wondercon attendees dodged the horrible weather just a day earlier. The weather during Wondercon was awesome as you can see from our picture above. Nothing but blue skies. Beautiful So Cal weather!

Wondercon 2016 took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center this year. The LA Convention Center is huge. If you don't know where you're going you could get lost. For the most part there was a good amount of space so you are spread out when exiting the exhibit floor. For the bigger panels etc.. they used the Microsoft Theater. They had 2 sections for Food Trucks while there were also places to eat inside the convention center.

The show was packed during the weekend. On Friday. as it was preview night and only open for a few hours was crowded but not bad.

There were exhibits from Rancho Obi-Wan which featured Star Wars items and next to it was items from Stan Lee's Museum featuring artwork and props from various Marvel Comics and movies etc... Finally there was the Cartoon Museum Exhibit which wasn't done with set up on Friday and we forgot to go back during the weekend to get some pictures.

San Jose Super Toy, Comic and Collectibles Show Recap

This past weekend was the San Jose Super Toy, Comic & Collectibles Show. The weather was rainy but come rain or shine and it didn't stop people from coming to the show to look for toys and collectibles. The lines were long as usual and they got people moving in as fast as they could to get them out of the rain. Early Bird shoppers were able to get in 2 hours before the general admission shoppers. If you had pre-purchased tickets the line was very short and you got in very quick. The show is much bigger than what we took pics of so here's a little taste of what's at the show.
