@rayzryr I did see a lot of traders selling gloomhaven but I’m glad I checked out all the stands first as the price differences were huge. I paid the lowest for mine at $170 but others had it up to $200+. It’s hard to balance picking up what you want as soon as you see it (at the risk of someone else grabbing it before you) and checking to see you’ve found the best price. I saw Rum & Bones at multiple stands, 1 trader selling it for $140, next trader over selling it for $50!

@jamesedwards I went to Wintercon last year and it’s way smaller, pretty much on the main exhibition shed vs. the 3 at Cancon. I’m pretty sure that Cancon is Australia’s largest con. There’s Gammacon which runs mid-year however that’s more geared to nerd culture eg, anime, comics and cosplay. Games Workshop Belconnen had two stalls setup at that where you could try out painting, play some games but that was about it. I believe that there’s one called Hammercon or something that happens in either Wagga or Bathurst but I haven’t been and aren’t sure on the details. Not much help.
