Has anybody signed up or heard about the Gamestop Expo 2012 to be held in San Antonio, TX on August 29th? It is Gamestop's annual managers convention, but they are opening it up to Gamestop Power Up Rewards members if you purchase a ticket. The link is:
http://www.poweruprewards.com/PUR/Index/EXPO
They'll have alot of upcoming games to play before they are released, and the best news is that Activision will have their Skylanders Giants booth up and running. Just got tickets for my son and I to attend. It would be cool if they have an exclusive figure to give away, but I'm not counting on it. I'm just psyched that I get to test drive Giants 2 months before it comes out. I'll have my camera at the ready and take pictures of anything new or interesting.

Is the convention really only 5 hours?
Not going since it's way too expensive for just one day, but I wonder if they have any plans on actually extending that...

You won't need to, much like last year they'll probably release a poster of all the characters for the people who attend the event. |

Yay! My parents MIGHT take me! I hope they have a variant, because thats the 2nd reason I want to go, the first is obviously to test the Giants...
If I go, I will try to get as much info as I can, including a clear image of the list, if I cant, I will post the names... Quote: henryszuch
Its ok, there may not be that much there...

This convention is awesome!!! So much to report when I get home tonight. What I can say for now is the game plays alot better than the first. Characters feel lighter. Ninjini, Flashwing, Sprocket are female!

Saw the brief soul gem trailer for Hot Dog. Was able to see the character screens too. Just headshots, but was able to see the faces of the characters we haven't seen yet. I'll give a detailed report after the convention is over.
