Weekend pass last year was $50, I believe. So flight, hotel (3-5 nights maybe?), $50-$60 (rough estimate) pass, spending money (the dealer room is like a candy store), food money (average $30-$40 per day if he's frugal), and transportation. That last one is tricky - unless he's familiar with driving on the other side of the road it might be a bit much to rent a car. We have a good taxi system and fair bus system near the hotel, but it's nowhere near the subway.

He'll have a blast if he comes and he should take some extra days to see Toronto too if he's never been.

Hey! Thanks so much for reply... I was thinking bringing him over for about 15-17 days as he has family in Cambridge. Plus I want to go back to Ottawa & Niagara as I LOOOOOOOVVVVEEEEEE Canada. Would emigrate if I could lol! Anyway, he has drove before so thats all good... Thanks so much for the help with budgeting - you're a star! Would $300 get him much in the way of dealers stalls? Hope to hear from you soon!

I live in Kitchener and the tri-cities area is certainly one of the best I've lived in.

If he is looking at newer items, he could get away with getting several there with $300... If he's into vintage G1 items, he would get away with a few (depending on which dealer he goes to)(***points to self***), but he also may find some things that he has not found yet in the UK.

$300 is more than I spend each time! Unless he's buying higher end G1 or rare stuff, that should get him several nice things from the dealer room.

Aside from the fact that you would like to visit Canada also, wouldn't a trip to Botcon be a better gift as Botcon is the bigger convention? Being a Westerner, I've never been to a TFCon. How does it compare to Botcon?

This question probably warrants it's own thread but there are distinct differences between the 2 conventions. While TFCon doesn't necessarily have the powerhouse of Hasbro backing it, it does an amazing job at delivering a well run, fan focused convention which provides ample opportunity to meet and get acquainted with other TF fans. Botcon is much more commercialized with a large corporate presence. It's big and at times overwhelming but it has a less personalized feel to it IMO.
