"Wizard Entertainment is ceasing publication of the print magazines Wizard and ToyFare. Wizard World, Inc. will begin production of the online publication “Wizard World” beginning in February. We feel this will allow us to reach an even wider audience in a format that is increasingly popular and more readily accessible."

This sucks. I've no interest on an online version of Wizard or Toyfare. Crap in a hat this stinks! I really feel for the staff. Boom, you're out of a job. Not cool at all.

Guys Wizard magazine has sucked for several years now. Really sucked. It got so bad that toward the end of my subscription I was not even opening the issues. They were giving away $30 convention tickets tro sell subscriptions to a $28 a year magazine. And there was nothing in Toyfare that didn't git the websites a month or two before the magazine came out. Sure Twisted Toyfare Theater was awesome, but even that was getting old. Guys you aren't even gonna remember the magazines in six months.

This will just give the collector clubs more control of new product previews.
I'm not really sure that this will be a good thing.

It's not. And honestly, I have a bigger issue with just laying the staff off like that. It's bushleauge. I don't plan on supporting conventions that treat their employees this way. For me, yeah, the mags weren't as good as they once were, but I don't spend hours trying to see new toys online. I always liked that I could pick up a mag that had all that stuff in it. And I agree with Money. This gives more power to Collector Clubs that are already screwing people over with ridiculous prices and such.

Guys if anyone wants em, I still have a huge ass stack of the backissues I have not tossed out yet. Pay for thre shipping and they are yours.
