Re: How much are you going to spend at SDCC08? I don't want to spend more than $800. I'm not sure how much I spent last year but I know there were about 4 or 5 more toys I would have liked to pick up. *Hoping for this year*

Re: How much are you going to spend at SDCC08? As I posted in another thread, I had budgeted a LOT for this year, as last time (2 yrs ago) I went pretty nuts. However, I think I've become more discriminating in the past couple of years, so I'm probably not going to be near as insane as I was. Plus most of the new/exclusive stuff just seems weak to me. The main thing is not having to worry and agonize if I see something cool (as long as I can keep my impulse buying in check).

Re: How much are you going to spend at SDCC08? I know If I attend, I couldn't help it but to spend a lot.
Having seen some of the previews, I might even spend a bit---even physically not attending.

Re: How much are you going to spend at SDCC08? $300 should do it, but that's only if things go my way. About $120-$250 otherwise.

Re: How much are you going to spend at SDCC08? Limiting myself to 1, maybe 2, days this year to try and keep the damage low.
We'll see how that works out.

We'll see how that works out. 1 day is all it takes to spend the same amount of money as 4 days.

Re: How much are you going to spend at SDCC08? Out of the question to attend but there's a couple SDCC 2008 exclusives that wet the appetite.

Climbing up the ladder towards bankruptcy? Almost doubling over the course of a weekend doesn't bode well!  . . . and I'm speculating there'll be another $80-100 added in the next couple of days!

Re: How much are you going to spend at SDCC08? my budget went out the door the last 3 years. thing is that you see the stuff that you want to buy base on what know and then there are all those surprise you find when you are actually there....
