My problem is that its starting to feel repetative. The cupcake cars, the giant mouse trap, the mentos and diet coke guys, the robot giraffe, the Neverwas Hual, etc... These are all great to see but this year seemed to lack anything new. In fact, there seemed to be less stuff overall this year than years past. There didn't seem to be as many individual inventors showing off their ideas like a remember a couple of years ago. I don't know... maybe the bad economy has taken a toll on creativity as well. I'll still return next year because I want this event to succeed. I too was a little let down by this years Maker Faire. My problem is that its starting to feel repetative.
