I have been for the last two years. Lots of cool things to see from games, comics, toys, celebs, ect. It is just a place to dress up (if you wish) and to have fun. Not as cool as DragonCon but worth the money if you just want to see some cool things and some really outragious costumes that some people wear. Usually Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker, Dave Prowse, and Phil Brown attend the Chicago show. Last year a few more showed up that were in E2.
I plan on attending if I am not across the country for a new job. I just want to go so I can get the Clone Bust. I am a completest and I have to have them all. or I will go crazy.

If I can go I will drive up there for the first day spend a few hours to look around and drive back to Indy. Maybe if anyone is going we can meet for lunch or something.

I want to go just ot get my Clone Bust!!!  

Count Phil Brown out.  He did his lat show shortly after Celebration 2.  He's now in a nursing home, as his wife is unable to take care of him anymore.

BTW, if you're not able to hook up with someone for these figures, try Disney Delivers.  Their phone number is 1(407)363-6200.

Well, this is a decent idea for "openers", but if you're looking for MOMC, don't even bother with Disney Delivers.  I ordered Wave 1 from them, and they just threw my 6 figures loose in a box, with one tiny plastic Disney bag to take up the remaining space on the side.  They cards were THRASHED.  I've heard similar stories from almost everyone else who ordered through Disney as well.  But like I said, for the openers out there, this method should work fine...

But myself and Karma are always around for anyone interested in using another route...    So it looks like maybe next weekend then, assuming Disneyland puts theirs out to coincide with DisneyWorld's Star Wars Weekends festivities.  I'll be on the lookout folks!

Quite true!  I ordered two sets of waves1 & 2; one to open, and one to keep MOMC.  I was disappointed with the shipping.  All of the figures were tossed into a plastic bag randomly, and then put into a box stuffed with packing material.  The cards in most cases were bent.  I opened the worst of the bunch.  Four of the remaining carded samples were in excellent shape.  Another two were bent, but not creased.  I was able to work the bends out by keeping those in Star Cases.

So, it's caveat emptor for you carded folks!

Thanks for offer Morgbug, I appreciate it!  I'm gonna pass, though.  I've scaled back on getting the variants unless it's a player I really want, or it's an NFL player, or something from the older series' that I missed.  I think I'm going to completely skip MLB4.  I'm still on the fence about a couple of them.  I'm pretty much waiting for MLB5 to get back into things.

One thing I am doing to help things is ordering cases.  At least for the NFL line.  I already pre-ordered a case of NFL6 from www.spawntoys.com, and I'll be pre-ordering a case of NFL7, also.  It helps with the variants.  You get at least one per case, and sometimes 2 per case.  Plus, you don't have to worry as much about the shortpacked figures.  As for the excess, I'm just going to trade or sell those off at cost + shipping.

What is the name of Supreme Chancellor Valorum's female aide?

I've heard that the cartoon is coming out in November.  I'm thinking possibly July or August for the Clone Wars toy lines.

Last night, I picked up the new Blur CD, and Tomahawk's latest
