Re: Wondercon
We'll be at WonderCon as well. Looks like you all may need to consider the weather. It's turned from Light Rain to Thunderstorm for Saturday. =/

Re: Wondercon
Had CPK tonight. Impeccable service. But it's definitely all corporate joints around. Can someone go to Disneyland get me a turkey leg please?

Re: Wondercon
Aside from missing the attending company, is there anything going on Saturday that would warrant not going today, Friday?

Re: Wondercon
see Mike & Joe in S7 stall today. Hope they score something.
just back from WonderCon. not so interesting to go there. i like D-con even better, as no more fan of comics book or some other toys. but pictures of HOT later.
the parking next to convention only $12.00 if you go early should be best. Hope good weather tmw.

Re: Wondercon
Change of venue doesn't sound like it's helped WCon any. It is basically what SDCC used to be years ago. Hell, I remember going to ComicCon before it stayed in SD. It used to fit in one of the big hotel conference rooms. WCon was the same...then they moved it to Moscone Centre.

Re: Wondercon
The con was fun. I went to the Regular Show panel. The panel was entertaining. I didn't really expect to find much to buy. Found some stuff at one of the 50% off graphic novels booths. You can really find some good deals on comics if you don't mind digging a little.

Re: Wondercon
Sounds like fun (especially the oil wrestling) - and no toy stress ....

From what I've been told, WonderCon has always been a tough sell. While some aspects like costuming have improved, others not so much. Volunteering is one of the easiest ways to get in for free but they're always a shortage of applicants. Unlike CCI where they now have to turn people away. I was supposed to go to WonderCon on Sunday but something came up. Sucks.

Re: Wondercon
Nate and I decided to stay home. We wanted to make a full day out of it by going to Downtown Disney but the rain ruined it. Going over for a few hours and generally spending money I should be saving was a factor too. Maybe next year!

Saturday Wondercon Head Count
Who's still attending today? I hate the rain, so I'm thinking of bowing out and opting for a day of laundry instead...

Re: Wondercon
It was an action figure kind of day. I was on the hunt for rounding out some Jack Kirby character sets. Came home with A Kalibak, two Darkseids, omac, kamandi and steppenwolf figure courtesy of DC universe.
No Jp toy pressure. Although I did pick up a really interesting item which I'd seen around online once or twice, but nice to see in person.
Got to checkout Gufs new King Swine beastie, but had to stick to my vinyl rules. Looking forward to seeing him in vinyl. The green St Patricks day one off was rad tho! I urge u to track him down and buy it!
Also picked up a boo berry bank and some pencil toppers for a pal.
Great hanging with everyone, Connell, Todd, Aaron, Guf, Gufs missus, Joe, Aaron, Frank.
