V TV Mini-Series coming back!
I read one of my friend's tweets that said they were going to do a remake of the 80's movie, Red Dawn. When I was at the Comic Con they were heavily promoting the re-make of one of my favorite TV Mini-Series from the 80s... V. Like Red Dawn, V involves a group of resistance freedom fighters but instead of →
SDCC Comic Con Celebrities – Olivia Munn from G4TV
So I missed the mass of people waiting to get an autograph from Megan Fox at the Warner Bros booth because I was in the KidRobot line waiting to buy my Deph FatCap exclusive. Anway, the next day I almost ran into who at first I thought was Megan (she was surrounded by video cameras) but when she turned around →
FANtastic SDCC San Diego Comic Con Costumes
I took a good number of photos of Comic Con attendees dressed up in costume this year. There were your typical stormtroopers and super heroes but there were also some costumes that I had no clue who or what they were supposed to be.

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)
Comic Con 2009 starts today! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get preview night tickets :( I will be there bright and early tomorrow though. Fans really go the extra mile to enhance their Comic Con experience. Going to the con is like stepping into a comic book sometimes. There are thousands of people dressed up in their favorite pop-culture icons. Some →
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. He transformed from a robot to a cassette radio and back. I loved how the "tapes" turned into cool creatures like a vulture and a panther. One thing I never understood →
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 →

SDCC Comic Con Photos – Cobra Commander and Troopers
Companies are starting to reveal their exclusives for the comic con and it looks like G.I.Joe will be one of the more popular franchises this year (again).

How bad-ass does this 12" Cobra Commander look? I just pre-ordered one. I'd love to keep it but I've already sold it.

From the SideShow Collectibles Website: The Crimson Cobra Commander (limited to 1000 pieces) 12 inch Figure features: * Fully articulated →

For a reseller and avid collector like me my highest priority is getting my hands on exclusives and →
Hasbro reveals new Star Wars Millennium Falcon at 2008 Comic Con
This isn't your father's Millennium Falcon! If you collected Star Wars toys as a kid or adult you are probably familiar with the original Millennium Falcon from Hasbro. The mold that was used 30 years ago when I was a kid has not changed until now. At this year's comic con, attendees were able to see the revealing of Hasbro's →
2008 SDCC San Diego Comic Con Review
My family needed a full day to recover from 4 straight days of the San Diego Comic Con. It was a good trip despite my work needing me to do some shet even though I was on vacation. Anyway, the con was pretty good. I felt the lines were longer, more unorganized, and moved a lot slower than last year →
2008 SDCC – G.I.Joe Combat Heroes Snake Eyes and Timber
One more week until the San Diego Comic Con! I was one of those boys that collected G.I.Joes when I was a kid even though my favorite grade school teacher once called them "dolls". They are action figures! Of all the G.I.Joes my favorite was Snake Eyes. I think everyone's favorite was Snake Eyes. He was all dressed in black and →
