same thing happened last year when i was in line....i mean same exact thing! will they ever get stuff right? geez!
Quote:
The Comic-Con Zoo continued yesterday... the G.I. Joe morning panel was tough to get into because people were going in early to save their seats for Transformers.
Was able to get a pass to HasbroToyShop for the "4:00 line." Got there at 3:50, as did a bunch of others that I was standing around, but they wouldn't let us get in any line yet. Then when they did create a line, they purposely changed up where the line would start just to be a-holes. We stayed behind the "End of Line" guy, saw some obnoxiousness from Comic-Con staff but eventually seemed to win them over, when this clearly PMSing Hasbro employee letting people in was really nasty and told them and us that we were "not in line," and again, changed where the "new line" started. So basically, people who showed up an hour later than us got in. I think our group eventually made it in around 5:40. I'm thankful to have made it in, but that booth had no idea what to do about line and crowd management. The funny thing is, by having a "line waiting for the line," we weren't blocking any walkways or anything like that - it was only when they decided to change up where the line was a second time that it became a mess! By the time we got up there, the B&W Captain Americas were gone but I was able to get an Invaders set and two Destro packs - one to open so I can make a Doctor Who figure out of it. Still, it was a lot more drama than it needed to be... I don't think Hasbro will learn.

Yes the SDCC Hasbro Toy Line issue HAS TO BE ADDRESSED... This is absolutly ridiculos.... Last year, I got in line not even knowing that I neede the dang pass to be in line, and an hour into the line I realized this... Thankfull the Joe Gods spared me and had someone behind me give me an extra ticket...and got my Commandors.. This year I took my wife, and got the Voucher at 10am only to be told I have to wait till 2pm to get in line... and would not let us line up early... THankfully a nice lady saw my wifes dispare and offered to buy us the Destros.... THANK goodnes, I gave here a Mattel Voucer (as those were gone by mid day Thursday for the ENTIRE WEEKEND) again RIDICULUS....by the time I got my voucher, it was for Friday at 4pm..... I would be at work at that time... SO needless to say I never got my SDCC Mater Exclusive.... kind of glad I didnt though as it was 30bucks, but still would have liked to have the option...

Well tomorrow is the last day of the 2 for $10. I pretty much got everything I wanted earlier in the week. Burbank Target rest the action figure aisle and Joe has a 12 foot section w/ the first 4 feet all single figures and they had everyone from Waves 1-3 was a beautiful site. Burbank TRU restocked but all Waves 1-2. Bought The Mission Dossier by Paul Ruditis at Barnes & Noble this book is awesome. Oh, got my case of 7 Packs yesterday, which happen to be my birthday, it felt like my birthdays from the '80s when I got Joe goodies back then. Too much Joe goodness this week, from the TRU sale, finding Wave 3 Col. 2, getting my 7 Packs and seeing the goods Hasbro has coming out. A very cool week indeed.

Stopped by Monrovia TRU one last time and I must have just missed W3. I did find a couple of General Hawks on the pegs. He' a really cool figure.

Hunted a bit in the Valley, but I had no luck finding the Dragonhawk.
I did pick up the ROC Mission Dossier at Barnes and Noble in Burbank. They had a handful more. Also found some new Clone Wars figures at Porter Ranch WM and the Target on Balboa (just south of 118). No luck finding the Marvel Universe Secret Wars packs or TRU 3packs. |

You're the one who got them! ;)
I was there on Sunday with the wife and kids. I snagged a Helix, and Crimson Neo Viper off the Joe display and was very happy. Unfortunately, when my wife didn't find the baby items she was looking for she gave me "the look" and I put the Joes down, hoping to find them again one day.
