Everything is still in stock. Is this a record? Even the Magic cards haven't gone yet. *edit* Spoke too soon. They're gone now

Got my confirmation email (12:16 for easy reference next year). The email starts with "The fun is about to begin". Cheeky bastards.

I was about to say the say thing Yodaminch. At least there's some kind of work around and they're not 100% incompetent...

yes

We used to have exclusives too

I'm guessing noon-ish to give west coasters a chance. I can't remember what time they went up last year. *edit* Looks like I got my confirmation email last year at 2:14.

Weird. The page I'm looking at has Optimus, MLP, and Chewbacca. I'm looking at "Exclusives". When I search "SDCC" the cards come up. *edit* Now both pages are showing the cards.

Which cards? I'm just seeing the Prime Throne and Bumblebee.

Nothing yet. I didn't see the need to make a thread this year seeing as how they didn't feel the need to make an exclusive. I'm trying for the Aphra set. Good luck everybody.

There's a survey posted over on The Fwoosh for 6" collectors. It's mostly about packaging and sacrificing BAF pieces, accessories, or face sculpts instead of a $5 price hike. It's interesting to see this has gotten a lot of 6" fans worried and deciding to cherry pick. Many of us have speculated that the pendulum would eventually swing back in our direction. Could this be the start? If they really do raise prices by $5 and cut accessories or BAF pieces, it could hurt Legends. If that line starts to tank (and it already pegwarms), then we could finally see a resurgence as a cheaper option to please retailers. Wishful thinking or not, it's hilarious to see a lot of these guys getting upset at the price hike and loss of quality or extras when we have been through all of that and more and they constantly griped when we got anything they didn't have yet.

At the risk of giving them ideas for the 6" line, I'd love to see a 3.75" box set (probably best at SDCC) that's a Best of MCU Directors. Gunn, Whedon, Waititi, Favreau, and Feige. Favreau could be repacked as Happy later on in a 2 pack with an Iron Man.

Are Malcolm's glasses removable? If you make a Grandmaster be sure to post some pics. Maybe it'll inspire people to do the same and that will relieve the pegs of all the extra Snokes. It would be awesome if they stick Vonner on the DC team. I'm still bitter that the Multiverse line became 6".

So we may not be getting much from Hasbro these days, but look who is getting a figure from Mattel: I know they used his face for the unmasked cyborg War Machine from the IM2 line, but I think this is the first actual David Vonner action figure. I will for sure be buying an extra for my Marvel shelves. On a somewhat related note, I know we'd all buy 3.75" Stan Lee figures by the case, but would anyone else here like a Kevin Feige? I feel like it'd be cool to have him with my MCU group shot.

This is kind of infuriating, but I really don't know what I expected here. Legends already has not one, but TWO Kingpin figures and now they get a third one before we can get one? Not even a half-assed 5 poa figure? That Genis-Vell has been on my wishlist for quite a while, so of course 6" gets him first. It's bizarre reading some of the reactions from Legends collectors across the web. Opinions seem split between this being the best SDCC ever and the worst. I'd have loved to have even a mediocre showing for our line, but nope, nothing. I guess I'll pick up the vintage Wasp and Ant-Man because they could technically just be giant-size versions next to MU figures. Man, a lackluster showing for 3.75" Star Wars and World of Nintendo, zero news for the 3.75" Marvel line, James Gunn is fired from GotG 3 (and either a closeted pedo or a terrible comedian), Jurassic Park's 3.75" line is seemingly abandoned for 6", dogs and cats living together...mass hysteria. Eesh. What a terrible Comic-Con.

My TRU has started pulling a bunch of stuff from the back. I hit the jackpot when some of my K-Marts closed. I'm talking '08 and '09 Star Wars Legacy BAD figures for $ a pop and MU figures from the first 3 waves for about that same price. No luck this time around though. Crossing my fingers that I can snag an AT-ACT or two for sub $50, but they'll probably be gone long before then.
