Title: Anyone going to Retro World Expo?
Post by: redsox2012 on October 12, 2017, 01:01:28 PM
It's this weekend at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford.  The last two years it was at a smaller venue, but it's success prompted a move to the much larger convention center.  From what I've read, there will be 125 vendor spaces, 3X as many as last year.  I'm really looking forward to it, and luckily I live only 15 miles away.  As primarily a Sega collector, there wasn't a lot that I was interested in last year, so I'm hoping the larger show will have more Sega stuff.

I wish I was closer to the northeast. I live in KY and there's so many great Expos up there but they're all like a 10+ hour drive. RWE is a 12 hour drive I believe. Luckily there's a handful of 'decent' ones around here.

The Grand Ole Expo is in Nashville, it should be pretty great.

And there's one in Lexington, KY next weekend.

I went this year, got in on a press pass and did some filming.

They did definitely get a larger variety of games, I saw tons of SEGA and even a N-Gage, GAME.COM and R-Zone games
