All C's Fan Expo 2021
This is a nice little vender's con where you can find all types of collectables and the best part is it's free. I would say it was a 50/50 split between sports items and then other geeky products. Some products had ratings, but they were on the pricier side. There were some good deals mixed in, but there was also a lot that was way over priced when even compared to nearby tables. Always shop around before you make your purchase and know the prices that items you are interested normally run both new and used.
This is a good example of how tight the aisles are. |
Even without taking covid into consideration this place was packed. First there was little spacing between the tables. The aisles were just too narrow and many times there were traffic jams just from people looking at things. This impeded shoppers. Also the hotel had signs up telling people to social distance, but no one was. Mostly because they couldn't due to the spacing. With how narrow the aisles were it would be impossible for someone in a wheelchair or walker to navigate. This is something that they really need to improve. It is currently an ADA nightmare not to mention I do not know if the spacing also violated any fire codes. Also it was massively hot. They had a few doors open, but there was very little air flow. Also I know that face masks are not required, but considering Colorado is hovering around 50% vaccinated rate I saw very few people with facemasks on. There wasn't even anyone asking if people were vaccinated or not. Even the Disney store at Park Meadows was doing this today when we stopped by. So there are several issues with this mini con that needs to be addressed. The hallways had a little more room to move around.
While there I did find a vender that had really good prices on his items, 1000th Ghost. He had Funko figures from $5-$10 and the more you bought the better the prices got. He was also the nicest vender and also allowed me to take some up close pictures of his booth. I highly recommend buying from him. There were several artists there with artwork ranging everything from drawings/canvas, to resin, to 3D printing. There were even chainmail necklaces at one place. Also in the main room is where they had the celebrities that people could talk to and get autographs. There was slightly more room in front of those tables.

Overall for a free mini con it is not bad if you are not disabled, able to take the heat, and it is at least free... not very many pluses overall. I give All C's Fan Expo a C or 3 stars out of 5. They have a lot to improve on and I could see this being a nice little con if they are willing to make changes. There is still one more day for you to check them out. We were only there for a hour and it won't take long to get through it.
