FANtastic SDCC San Diego Comic Con Costumes
I took a good number of photos of Comic Con attendees dressed up in costume this year.

Thanks to Jay and Drew for introducing me to LightBox 2. This is my first post using →
2009 SDCC San Diego Comic Con Kidrobot Deph FatCap Exclusive
So this past Friday we waited with my friend Drew for the Deph FatCap Vinyl Toy Comic Con exclusive at the Kidrobot booth. I personally broke my own comic con record for waiting in line previously held by Hasbro. Last year We waited in a three hour line for Hasbro exclusives. Well, Kidrobot smashed that record as we waited close →
Some new experiences at the SDCC San Diego Comic Con – Review
We got home from San Diego late last night and I was extremely exhausted. Maybe it was the 1.5 hour drive or maybe I was still recovering from a night of partying in the gaslamp with some good friends but once I got home I hit the pillow and just woke up moments ago. Actually, I think the most exhausting →
Costumes from last year’s San Diego Comic Con (2008)

2009 SDCC Comic Con Exclusive: Transformers Soundwave
When I first found out that Hasbro was going to release Soundwave as an exclusive I was like, "oh hellz yes!". Soundwave was one of the coolest original transformers.

Mighty Muggs 2009 SDCC Comic Con Wolverine Logan Exclusive
Last year Hasbro sold the metallic Iron Man Mighty Mugg and it was a huge hit among Mighty Muggs and Iron Man fans. I bought a large number of them and I sold all of them pretty easily on the secondary market (almost made the 3-hour line to buy worth it). Anyway, this year one of the Mighty Mugg exlcusives will →

Transformers! Photos from the 2009 BotCon
I finally downloaded the photos from our trip to Pasadena for the 2009 BotCon. It's been several weeks and the images have been sitting on my SD card. This was our first BotCon and being regulars of the San Diego Comic Con we couldn't help but feel the BotCon was rather small. We still had a good time being at a →
