Cappy Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 SDCC is one of those things that anyone with geeky comic/toy interests should do at least once... Rob will verify that no matter how prepared you are for it you will be overwhelmed the first time you step onto the show floor. What this man said, you've got to do SDCC once in life. But that was enough for me. Now, I've been going to cons longer than most people on this board have been alive, so I'm no newbie to the sweaty masses. While the glitz at SDCC is amazing, there are just too many people. The chances to do the fun things, the reasons you attended the convention, just become frustrations. Getting in the door takes forever, exclusives can't be had, celebs can't be visited, panel seating can't be found, etc. The best thing about such a huge con is meeting online friends, but even then, tracking some one down, physically getting through the pressing flesh, makes that a chore. So, I've been to SDCC, but I won't be going back. Instead, NYCC is my pick for big conventions, but I'm planning to give C2E2 a whirl. They're both large conventions that haven't gotten too big -- you can still walk down the aisles on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huffing it around the exhibit floors to get the exclusives ends up working these mom's basement dwellers into an sticky oily lather. It is actually quite a feat making such a massive convention center smell like a giant butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Agreed that SDCC has become a mad house over the last couple of years. Why look what it's done to our own Zach Oat after only 3 days. 'Nuff said. Edited July 14, 2012 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MST3KFan Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 spiderman was pretty much a given from the start, i thought everyone new that? If they absolutely have to include a Spider-Man in every wave, give us updated versions of Spider-Man 2099, Scarlet Spider, or Iron Spider-Man I say. >_> Once again, Banshee gets the shaft. DST must hate him or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkerbean Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Yes! I voted for onslaught on any computer/phone I could get near to Banshees Irish, they always get the shaft! Edited July 14, 2012 by winkerbean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
