Ivan Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Hello from SDCC. Just got into the convention center for Preview Night and started looking through the events guide where I found the DST advertisement. (Page 171 if you're interested.) They are giving away the AA and DST blanks each day at noon. At least I'll finally be able to get a set of those now. It also mentions a new promo blank featuring the Ghostbusters logo. It looks like the Minimate is black, but that might be deceiving because the ad itself is only black and white. According to the copy it will come free with any GB purchase. I'm working on uploading a photo, but the free Wifi keeps dropping. The Exhibitor Hall doesn't open for a couple hours so I'll keep trying. Cheers. Quote

Danny Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Awesome. That's gonna sell on eBay like ectoplasmic hot cakes. Those Ghostbusters fans are crazy for merch! Quote
karamazov80 Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 That Ghostbusters blank is sweet! Thanks for the info. and pics, Ivan. Quote
Modefan Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I'm actually kinda relieved the only new blank is the Ghostbuster blank Quote
Punisher Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I'm actually kinda relieved the only new blank is the Ghostbuster blank Agreed. I still haven't even tracked down all four from last years giveaway... Quote
616commando Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 thanks for the tip ivan. 171 is already sharpied in preperation for tomorrow Quote
Resurrection Bob Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Dang, that blank is sweet. No clue how I'll get one of those. Quote
Twisted Two-Face Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Wow...that sucks...a lot...Very nice looking blank... Quote
Cappy Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) 1) Thank you, Ivan, for being our man-on-the-scene. 2) Huzzah! The picture worked. 3) Okay, any and all con-goers, I need that GB blank (as with all blanks). And Danny is right, it's going to be a bear to acquire. 4) Modefan, the con hasn't officially started yet. I wouldn't bank on that being the only new promo 'mate. Just sayin', is all.

TM2 Dinobot Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Did anyone see the BSG giveaway? http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=282&itemid=14730 Quote
undeadpool Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 well see ya tomorrow at comiccon (anyone whos going) cant wait Quote
gambitron Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I just got back to my hotel and can tell you I got the GB minimate with my purcahse. I got the Wolverine through the ages set (was surprised to see it hanging there), the GB video game mates (bought one extra set to trade and I got an extra General John Connor to trade too). They had waves 29-32 on display, They had an X-Factor set and I can't remember everything there was but there was a Beast in that set, there was also the Wolverine Origins TRU wave two which includes a Deadpool and a Gambit with some other Wolvies and then an Angel with somone else (I will remember to take pics tomorrow). Then they had the playset on display with the two minimates and the animal is a Crocodile looking thing with armor. They had GB wave 2 on display too and they looked cool as well as Infinity gauntlet. My mind is still racing from all the new stuff I saw that I am having trouble remembering it all! I'm sure Ivan can fill in on anything I left out. Quote
karamazov80 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Wow, thanks for all the info, Gambit! But the idea of a TRU Wolvie: Origins wave 2 is mind-boggling, frankly. Quote
Resurrection Bob Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Juicy stuff! Looking forward to pictures tomorrow, great that you guys are there getting us the info. Quote
Nessex Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I'M MISSING THE CHILLI COOK OFF! I'M MISSING THE CHILLI COOK OFF! X-Factor? Gambit? Deadpool? Angel? It's times like this that i curse living in Oz. Quote
TBT! Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 It's times like this that i curse living in Oz. So which is worse, living in Aus and never having seen SDCC first hand or to have lived in San Diego for a several years/being within walking distance of SDCC then moving 1200m away and missing out on this years con knowing how much fun seeing this stuff first hand is!

NorthRaider Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 A million thanks to Ivan and gambitron for the inside scoop! Looks like DST is on a minimate roll. Quote
Cyc Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 So which is worse, living in Aus and never having seen SDCC first hand or to have lived in San Diego for a several years/being within walking distance of SDCC then moving 1200m away and missing out on this years con knowing how much fun seeing this stuff first hand is! T. True, but living in Aus also makes it harder to get normal mates let alone TRU stuff just as much as SDCC stuff Quote
