I went to preview night and again today with one goal of seeing how much joe loot I could get. I bartered with items from Mattel, Entertainment Earth and Hasbro to what you see below. I would like to thank all the girls who went to SDCC and stood in those line to get their My Little Ponies and for all you Transformer fans out there. Without you, none of this would be possible.

Wow I walked in to that one rofl. I have actually traded 1 to a friend and others are going to personal buddies on the tank who have always helped me out. I am happy to finally be able to return the favor. Gratz to Mermaniel, Templar Baggins, Marine-73, and Lion

As for the Tanks, I have been planning for the last 6 months a very special project / dio which should be completed mid august. I will post pics and I really hope you all appreciate the concept.

Not referring to you because you claim to be handing some out...but it's obvious...Hasbro's target audience at SDCC is scalpers. Anyone could go to this and load up on these exclusives, while those unable to go wind up getting screwed because Hasbro doesn't allow for a better online ordering system like Mattel (not perfect, I know, but better than HTS) and even Jazwares, who puts everything up for sale online.

Sorry to complain, nice score anyway.

Honestly, the ease of getting items from Mattel on the preview day was a huge key to my trading. The Scarah Screams Monster High dolls were nice trade bait. And honestly it wasnt easy. You had to be in a line at 6 am to run to another line that opened at 8:30 am that was sold out to roughly the first 1000 by 9:15 but there are about 5k people in that line. And all that just to be able to stand in another line and hope the items you are trying to get arent sold out. If you missed out, you try again the next morning. That is the Hasbro booth.

It's still a gigantic pain in bottom to be in that mayhem. not the band, dudes.

wow.

you guys have done well. I would love to go sometime, but my ever growing agoraphobia would make me quite the baby man standing in all those lines.

I hope all the takers can get their fill as well. good luck everyone, I hope you're all having a fantastic time.

Any chance that dio would leave a BAT left over? :D
