Can anyone who has been to a past NJCC event or a collectors con in general tell me how much of the average comic con spirit it retains? What major areas does it lack in in terms of a comic con.

Well, I'm not going to lie, it's very, very toy centric. If he has no interest in toys I'm not sure how much fun he'd have. I've been to a few and have seen only a handful of cosplayers. There's no actors or anyone related to TV/film. There's usually 1 or 2 comic artists who have usually done Transformers stuff from my show experience.

In general, 90%+ of the vendors deal in toys; I saw someone at the last one have some video game stuff. No one deals in comics that I've seen. Hope this helps, any other questions, ask away.
