First-Ever HASCON Ticket Sales Opens

Hascon

Ten years ago I attended Botcon 2007 in Providence, RI. While I was there I saw the first Transformers movie, twice in one night, met the owner of Siebertron.com and hung out with the guys from IDW. It was an amazing weekend. This September Hasbro has taken over an official convention just for Hasbro and their properties including Transformers. This is something that I want to take the kids to, I think they’d have so much fun. It is running from September 8-10 and sounds awesome. Here are the details we know right now.

Family Game Night with Skylanders Monopoly

Photo-A-Day #3027

The other day I received Skylanders Monopoly in the mail. Occasionally I receive some very cool Skylanders toys and while I was not asked to review the item I will give you my honest opinion on it.
