ComicCon and other Collector/Toy Conventions/Fairs

[pickleboy]

I have been looking at the prices for items bought at the SDCC and am curious if others have partaken in events such as these? 

 

Are there generally exclusives as some of the local events such as...

http://vacomicon.com/

Are there events that are better than others for Lego sets? 

 

 

I pretty much sell anything collectable.  (And some crap that i just got cheap.)

 

Are there large events like SDCC on the East Coast?

 

 

Are there any shows that you would recommend on for LEGO/Toy collectors?  (Do any compete with SDCC?)

 

 

Thanks for the input-

I have been wondering about it. I have seen some pretty outrageous prices for exclusives from events like this. I was looking for the Maryland Blue Crab the other day and they were really expensive. It was for some fair event in Maryland.

If you are a serious collector of something, then these prices are really actually directly where they should be. Considering that this year's exclusive figs were produced in extremely small quantities compared to last year's. However, anybody who buys this Azog figure that is floating around on eBay will be dissapointed when he gets released to the public. with the exact same colors/look.

Also, NYCC will be coming up in a few months! LEGO will have some sort of presence there as well.

I am a big collector of the rare sets from all these shows. The main shows are SDCC, NYCC, Lego Toy Fair, and WonderCon. I have several full sets from most of these shows although I have sold a few this year.

Wish i could go to such events... so far and too expensive.
