Anyone going to Comicon?

[Stormer]

I know this probably isn't the best forum to post this but it's the only message board I'm a member of these days...!

I was wondering if anybody was going to Comicon in San Diego next weekend? It's my hope to attend someday but for now I'm stuck in England. I was basically wondering if anyone going, or with information/contacts, would be able to help me get ahold of some Con-exclusive figures? I'm not actually over-concerned with Pimp Daddy Destro but the Marvel Legends Stan Lee and (especially) She-Hulk are figures I'd love to be able to add to my collection. I know I could wait until afterwards and look on eBay but there's no way of knowing what sort of availability or prices they'd be.

So if any of you guys could help me, be it personally or by pointing me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. I can do PayPal, plus I have a US bank account & checkbook, and there's posting cash if it comes to it so I can definitely send the necessary payment -- I just don't have anyone to send it to!

I was planning on going..........but circumstances beyond my control forced me to back out.......

I do have a friend from my Judy Garland forum who lives in San Diego who's going......and he's been begging me to find a way to get out there for it.......but I don't think this year's a go.......... :(


Hopefully next year................... ;)

[Self-Modifier]

I'm going, but I'm interested in Stan and Shulkie too. Depending upon how many you're allowed to buy, I may be able to help you out Stormer... But I hope you'll understand when I say, "no promises!"

[snakeeater]

I'm going too. If anyone PMs me, I can try to pick up some stuff, but like Self-Modifier, can't make any promises.

[bravo]

my friend and i were going to go but, he cant, do to work, and I'm suck as well. :mad:
hay i would like to see pics if any ones going to take them.

[snakeeater]

[Flatline]

[snakeeater]

thanks buddy, see if you can get oliva, :D sweet,,

[Stormer]

Since there's been more than one response and I don't really know what it's like there (how easy to get con-exclusive toys, limits on how many, etc) I don't want to put pressure on just one person to try and get any figures for me.

Basically, if anyone is able to pick up a Stan Lee and/or She-Hulk for me, I'll pay for it. Don't worry about me saying "Oh, I don't need it since so-and-so got me one" -- if you go to the trouble of getting something on my behalf, I won't leave you out of pocket. My eBay username is "andymort" in case anyone wants to check my track record, and many of my eBay deals have been international.

Thanks SO much to anyone willing to help me out, and to all of you who are able to attend the con I hope you have a fantastic time! Maybe one day I'll be able to meet you there!

So I read the Destros are entirely sold out at the SDCC.

What the heck? Did they not make enough? Did some goombas find a way to buy them all?

This is why such exclusives are a wretched, hobby-ruining idea. I mean, if attendees can't even get them...what's the point of it all?

I suppose they might make more. But that's not gonna make up for those who went to the SDCC and came up empty handed.

(Or for all of use who never found the Star Wars Treachey on Saluecami battle pack at Wal-Mart, or the Saga collection exclusive wave or any of the other irritating decisions Hasbro made when it comes to product distribution).

flatline heres the problem,

SDCC Destro Sold Out

According to various sources at the San Diego ComicCon, both variations of the Convention Exclusive Leapord Print Destro have been sold out for the entire weekend. It is believed that Hasbro is possibly keeping a special allotment aside for the 2007 G.I. Joe Convention in Atlanta, GA, but that information at this point is unconfirmed.
