The event featured three days of hands-on brand experiences, meet-and-greets, sneak peeks, concerts, exclusive reveals, star-studded panels and fan-centric surprises.

"We couldn’t be happier with the feedback we’ve received from our inaugural HASCON event," said John Frascotti, president, Hasbro, Inc. "We’re looking forward to once again delivering immersive entertainment experiences around our brands for fans and families in 2019."

Concerts by Flo Rida and Daya were included with the purchase of a general admission HASCON ticket. Guests were also invited to audition for a Hasbro video, and to select a toy or game to donate to the Marine Toys for Tots for children impacted by recent hurricanes.

More details about the 2019 HASCON event, including information about ticket packages, will be posted on http://hascon.hasbro.com.

It was said when Hascon was first rumored that they might be looking at growing yo something the size and scope of Star Wars Celebration. It also is not held every year.

Same location, same time of (school) year, and skipping 2018 in favor of a biannual venue.

They just dont learn, do they?

In my opinion not doing it yearly is a sign that it was a semi-fail but they refuse to throw in the towel. I saw the videos online made by the non TF community and I didnt see a whole lot of multi-franchise love like Hasbro corporate believes exist.

If it's Q3 2019 then I doubt the figures will be POTP. More than likely we'll be halfway through or just starting the next Generations line by then.
