This is just frustrating. I've got someone trying to pick some stuff up for me, but I don't see why they wouldn't go to Wizard World Chicago as well. It's a much more centralized location.

Im in the UK so dont ask me but at a guess SDCC is the BIG ONE ..... and as it cost a LOT for Companies to attend shows and staff them they go for the biggest event and just attend that one.
