Tough one for me, but I voted NYCC and RICC.

NYCC I paid for one op and got tons without paying. RICC had an incredible line up even after all the cancellations.

RICC was nice, but Star Wars kicked the rest's collective asses. Sure you may have had to be there, but for who it catered to, it was a huge blast. ACE can suck my you know what. Fan Expo was a great con, I highly recommend it to others.

Even if I were at Star Wars I wouldn't have voted that one as it didn't have much I needed photo op wise. I needed like 3 people there and got two of them NYCC week (Felicity at the con and SMG for free). Ironically, if Riz hadn't been a dick I would have had all 3 people NYCC week.

What you need from a convention should have NOTHING to do with the choice.

That's how I choose. Cause for me the ultimate goal is the photo op. It's the be all and end all. So what photo ops I get from the con determines how good the con is for me.

So if a con had Arnold, Stallone, Hogan, Harrison Ford, and Julie Andrews, you would ignore it because you had them???? :killme:

ACE was perfect once everyone got inside on Friday. Besides a long wait for a refund, which was necessitated by snow, what was your gripe with Saturday?

And I get the "once everyone got inside" is a big pill to swallow, but still.

RICC & SWC for me. Still wish I had gone to Florida even with the mishandling. The lineup was just amazing.

TBH, in general it was the lack of anything but cattle call graph and photos. SWC had some great cosplay, vehicles to play on, and had so many living Star Wars principle there including Lucas and Ford, in some form or another. Only paid spot for Gellar, etc.

Oh yeah I wasn't arguing it as one of your votes, just meant I think you give ACE a bit too much flack. I expected it to be a complete disaster, yet it delivered on pretty much every level.

Did you have to attend to vote? I didn't go to RICC or ACE but both were superior to anything else (on paper).

NYCC sucked.
