And while there are so many types of cons, comic and toy cons are among the most popular. This Labor Day weekend, the Lexington Comic & Toy Con will bring some of your favorite actors and voice artists to Kentucky. Star Trek began in 1966, and Takei was right there as Mr. Sulu, a role he always played in the Star Trek movie franchise that began in 1979. I would also venture to guess that this Star Trek convention veteran will feel right at home at the Lexington Comic & Toy Con. The Lexington Comic & Toy Con will take place September 4th through the 6th at Central Bank Center, adjacent to Rupp Arena, and tickets are still available.
