PREVIEW COVERAGE OF THE SHOW
So what does the Midwest have to do with gaming? Just about everything! Gen Con Indy is the longest running, best attended, gaming convention in the world. Last year, more than 26,000 attendees experienced Gen Con Indy. The biggest complaint from hard-core gamers and fans is that there is simply too much to do, see, and experience in the gaming world. Besides the gaming aspect of Gen Con Indy there art exhibits, panels, costumes, actors and actresses that you can get an autograph from, you can meet the people who run the gaming industry.

Something new this year for Gen Con Indy is the presence of Gentle Giant Ltd. For the first time at Gen Con there will be an exclusive Star Wars mini bust, the second one of the year. This mini bust is none other than Mara Jade – The Emperor’s Hand.

The lines have already started at the Indianapolis Convention Center and will be sure to last the entire weekend. Gen Con Indy starts on Thursday August 10, 2006 and goes through Sunday August 13, 2006.
