Except for the clips of Transformers:Prime & GI Joe:Renegades I think SDDC was pretty lame. I just don't understand why everybody made such a big deal out of it.

Yeah spending most of the time waiting in lines and having the Slaughter variant sell out when I was about 6 people back from the register was really disappointing. Although the wife and I did make it into the Dexter panel which we both are huge fans of, so that was sort of a win, except I wanted that damn Slaughter soooo much. Well let's hope my GI Joe Club order works out.

It is almost never worth the hype, it has gotten too overcrowded way too mainstream, and it's just a big mess every year, there needs to either be less tickets sold or needs to be in a bigger place, I was just there today, and Sunday is notorious for being the slowest day, and it is like moving at a snails crawl through the whole place. Everything and anything you want you need to stand on-line to get which is frustrating. Even to get some shitty plastic Starro mask there was a line looped around the Mattel booth just for that free piece of shit.

Personally, I had a great time. I met up with other fans and other artists. I got to have an in-depth conversation with one of the creative forces behind the G.I. Joe toys. And although, I'm not big on comics itself, the Comic Con recognizes other forms of visual media. I finally got to see some stuff on Tron:Legacy that I didn't see before. I saw an incredible amount of trailers. I found a few publishers that might be interested in my writings. And all the while, I went to a few workshop panels where I met somebody who could be my possible agent. I learned some things that I didn't know before about screenwriting. I made a connection with local online security firm that may be a future employer.... I ate a corndog with Fry and Bender (from Futurama). So to answer your question... Yes, it was all worth the hype.

It was a pretty lame SDCC from most stand points. It wasn't terrible or anything, but nothing really seemed all that interesting to me.
Hype for stuff I'm either not interested in or will suck. Some decent toy announcements, but nothing incredible. Of course I wasn't expecting a ton on the Joe front. JoeCon covered most of that anyway. |

I'm talking about the hype over the toys. The big unveils. Before Comic Con all anybody ever said was wait for Comic Con to see all the awesome new toys that are gonna be unveiled. Made a big deal over it. And then it was just the same stuff we already saw. Why hype it up so much? They've been hyping it up all year & then it was a huge letdown. And by "they" I mean TFW2005, Hisstank, Allspark etc. And all the fans on the boards. Made it out to be something huge all year long but it wasn't. Toy Fair sucked too. There was nothing new at Toy Fair that we didn't already see either. All the sites make a big deal out of their coverage & load up hundreds of images of stuff we've already seen. What's the point? Did they even bother to show the new Droid Gunship/Heavy Missile Platform? That thing was supposed to come out with the Swamp Speeder. They showed the Swamp Speeder but what about the Gunship? I was hoping there would be some updated news on that thing. Last edited by Steelgrave; 07-26-2010 at 03:28 AM.. |
