Would you attend Power-Con on Labor Day weekend in 2022?

Power-Con is still discussing with all parties involved about how and if our in-person September 2021 show will proceed. We hope to have a decision soon. Regardless, we still have to plan for our 2022 show.

What we were not expecting is the large number of shows that have already postponed to later in 2022. This has made scheduling dates for 2022 a bit trickier than we anticipated.

We have a number of dates open to us. One date in particular has a history of being both great for some shows and not as good for others. And that’s Labor Day weekend, Saturday September 3rd and Sunday September 4th, 2022.

For those of you who ARE planning to attend Power-Con in 2022, would you attend the show on Labor Day weekend?

Please click here to vote. The poll closes on Friday at 8am Pacific time, and thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with your feedback!

BigBadToyStore link to pre-order exclusive book combo

The Toy Guide is due to be released this April 27th and Power-Con will have the Toy Guide AND the exclusive Character Guide Supplemental in-hand around that time! We will begin shipping once the books arrive.

The Power-Con exclusive combo of the Toy Guide and the Character Guide Supplemental is the only way the team who made these books will get compensated. The Supplemental is not planned to be reprinted and we do not know if it will get a digital release.
The price for the combo on BBTS is $119.99 plus S/H,
and the price for the combo on Power-Con is $90.00 plus S/H.

Power-Con is still the better price for USA orders,
but international fans may want to pre-order at BBTS. Even with BBTS’s higher price for the combo, their combined price of the combo and international shipping might save money for international fans.

Click here to pre-order through Power-Con,
and click here to pre-order through BBTS.

If you want just the Toy Guide, US fans can click here to pre-order it on Amazon. But please note the creative team only gets compensated if you order the combo. So we hope you will consider pre-ordering that instead.
No matter what, thank you for your support of these books and of Power-Con!

Update on Exclusive Book Combo – International Shipping

The MOTU Toy Guide by Pixel Dan is due out from Dark Horse this April 27, 2021. We should have our exclusive combo in-hand around the same time, after which we will begin shipping. That exclusive combo includes the toy guide and an exclusive supplemental edition that expands upon the existing Dark Horse MOTU Character Guide & World Compendium. This supplemental is not planned to be reprinted, and we do not know if a digital copy will ever be offered.

Copies still remain for pre-order. One reason for that may be the international shipping which is quite expensive. Because of that, we’ve been actively trying to find a way to help international fans save on shipping. And we’re happy to say we have found a solution in the way of a partnership with BigBadToyStore.

BBTS will sell each combo for $119.99 versus our $90.00. But as a volume seller, they are able to offer much cheaper international shipping rates than we can which means your total price is lower.
Some comparison examples of the pre-order price including S/H:
Canada: $155.18 (USPS Priority) at BBTS versus $168.35 (USPS Priority) at Power-Con
Germany: $157.71 (DHL eCommerce) at BBTS versus $175.57 (USPS Priority) at Power-Con
Australia: $177.18 (USPS Priority) at BBTS versus $209.35 (USPS Priority) at Power-Con

We realize that every dollar counts. Therefore, we will be reaching out in the next week to all international fans who placed orders to see if you would like a refund so you can instead pre-order from BBTS.

For domestic fans here in the United States we will not be reaching out to you because our total S/H is about $20.00 cheaper than BBTS. But if you would still like a refund because you prefer to pre-order from BBTS, please contact us before April 27th to get a refund.

If you haven’t pre-ordered the book combo yet, you might want to consider doing so sooner than later! While we cannot make any guarantees, almost all Power-Con exclusives go on to be worth more than the original purchase price. As an example, take a look at the 2020 MOTU Origins 5-Pack and She-Ra figures currently on eBay. The Dark Horse books also tend to sell for more when they go out of print, and this supplemental is far more limited than any of the previous books. So if you want a rare item that also supports the creative team who helped make these books, please consider pre-ordering your exclusive combo today before they are gone.

Click here to pre-order on our Shopify account.
And we will have the BBTS pre-sale link soon for those of you who prefer to pre-order from them!
