The question should probably be who was even able to buy tickets? If you didn't get your tickets at the prior years show, it was almost impossible.

I was able to get the ticket for 3 days $150 last year, so I might do that again this year, still thinking about it, btw one of my friend will get three booth and sale stuff, that is why.... But I am still thinking... Saw little Nicky last year tho.

Doesn't seem that there are gonna be any SDCC Exclusive Muggs this year, huh? Maybe they'll surprise us with.... something... ANYTHING!! Even exclusive mini's would be fine.
Don't let us down, Hasbro!

You and me both sir. It was our first trip to comic con and we were really looking forward to planning another trip this year. Of course we didn't realized we were supposed to sign up for tickets for this year there also. Oh well, if anyone's willing to pick up a few exclusives for a fellow forum member, please let me know!

I might have to go to this next year. I'm sure it'd be super fun (but sounds like I'd have to sign up for tickets now). The little convention near me I went to back in March was super fun, probably in part because it was small and you were able to talk to your favorite comic book people for a while if you wanted to because there were practically no lines.
littlenicky
05-02-2011, 12:53 PM
Yeah, the key is to buy tickets the year before or having someone buy them for you (if that is even possible). Then, book your hotel early because prices just rise. Then, book the parking as soon as it opens up. Then, book your flight. Then, bring lots of water and snacks and have fun cause it will be a long day. But, you sure do leave a lot of freebies! =)

I am still thinking go or not..... The ticket and hotel is cost just too much foe me now.....
littlenicky
05-03-2011, 09:38 AM
Are you in LA or Louisiana? You can always get a fairly cheap hotel on the outskirts of San Diego's downtown. You can probably get enough freebies and giveaways and exclusives to have that ticket pay for itself. =)
jye318
05-03-2011, 10:11 AM
I know... But I spend $600 on ticket and hotel last year, plus the toy I buy, its big money, I live around LA not far, but doesn't want to drive everyday. And I have to get 4 days ticket no matter what.
littlenicky
05-03-2011, 11:00 AM
There's a $50/nite Ramada hotel about 35 miles away. Not sure if you are hotel picky. That would save you a decent amount of money. Then, ~$100 a ticket.
Mordee
05-03-2011, 03:09 PM
Woohoo! I am one of the lucky ones last year to buy one. I was this close of not buying this year's ticket, but I did so only cus the damn wait to get in was too long so I had nothing else to do but line up in another line. The joys of SDCC lines. The toys this year doesn't sound and look too good. Ah well.

They haven't really announced too many exclusives. Here's a short list floating around:
http://awesometoyblog.com/san-diego-comic-con-2011-exclusives/
As for Muggs, I've been hounding Hasbro and they have been ignoring me lately. But, signs don't look good. On the bright side, Fugitive Toys will still keep them going strong. Lots of Muggs for sale and lots of customs will be shown. =)

Here's some handy info for Hasbro:
Thank you for asking the question about how to shop at HasbroToyShop.com at Comic Con! Yes, there is a system and not one you want to find out after you arrive! So, here it is…
During preview night, which is Wednesday, you need only come directly to our booth (#3329). We have a queuing system that goes around the booth and the wait can be up to 2.5 hours. At times, if the line exceeds the end of our booth, we do need to cap the line and you will be asked to come back later. This is for safety purposes, and we must follow the guidelines set forth by the fire marshals.
On Thursday-Saturday, you will need to go upstairs in the Sails Pavilion before approaching our booth (although when the doors first open, we do let that first wave of people start the line – but they usually line up outside the convention center in the middle of the night sometime) . We have a desk upstairs at the Sails Pavilion where we hand out tickets beginning at 9 am. The tickets will tell you what time you can enter the line (again, only if it does not exceed the booth capacity). For example, the ticket will say Thursday after 12 noon. That means you can get in line Thursday at 12 noon, or any time thereafter…even the following day or as late as Sunday. One word of caution, though. Items do sell out during the course of one day, can come back into stock the next day or be sold out for the show…This is because we have limited storage space on the floor of the convention. Sometimes we can get into the warehouse and get more off our trailers, other days not, which is why you would need to get in line again the following day if the item you want is not available for the day.
I hope this helps you with your planning as you get ready for your first ComicCon.

Director, Operations

Mezco Reveals 20 inch Tall DC Universe Mez-Itz Mega Scale Batman
Perhaps the biggest summer exclusive in the universe, Mezco proudly presents the Mega Scale Batman Mez-Itz. This 300% Batman Mez-Itz measures 20 inches from the tip of his ears to the soles of his batboots.
He features a real cloth black cape. Just like the standard Mez-Itz, he features 5 points of articulation and 1000 points of fun.
Mez-Itz Mega Scale Batman is securely packed in a sturdy full color box (the size of a dorm fridge) featuring glossy highlights.
This is a non-numbered limited edition item.
Edition size TBD.
(6inch and 2 inch figures sold separately.)
Mega Scale Batman Mez-Itz is available in 2 versions: Limited Edition Black and Gray and Ultra Rare Variant Limited Edition Blue and Grey.

For those who still need comic con tickets, they are reselling refunded tickets at 10am. That's in 48 minutes. You need to act fast as these will sell out almost immediately.

Yep, they announced it yesterday. Mighty Muggs lives!
Ah I figured you guys probably already heard. So this will be my first SDCC, does anyone have any advice on getting my hands on these? From what I've read I need to go to the Sails Pavilion before 9am to get a ticket for the Hasbro line. I only have a pass for Friday so I'm hoping they won't be sold out. Do they limit you on how many you can buy?
ShinsoMuggs
06-29-2011, 08:50 AM
I think your info is good, there's no limit on how many you can buy as long as they have it instock. They have a daily limit (which is not disclosed) and when they run out they have to get more stock from their trucks which isn't on site from what I understand. I'm not going so if you can pick up an extra set, please let me know.
littlenicky
06-29-2011, 09:04 AM
Based on past years, there is a limit of 4 at Hasbro. They will definitely still have stock on Friday. I would think they would make enough for everyday and spread it evenly. Just get your ticket. It'll list a time that you can get in line. Then, just get in line and buy what you want from Hasbro. They will stamp your badge and you can move on.

Hey there all! My girlfriend and I are thinking about going to 2012 SDCC. I was hoping those of you that have gone would give us some tips. First off, I know we need to get tickets right away so when exactly can (and should) we get them? Also, how much money should we be looking to save up per person including airfare, hotel, the event itself, a rental car, food, etc?
Thanks much!

littlenicky
07-10-2011, 06:04 PM
Congratz on making the jump to go in the near future...
Here's a look at the last few SDCC's...
2009 (Tix sold out about 6 months out)
2010 (Tix sold out about 2 months out)
2011 (Server crashed twice when they tried to put tix up, and when they got it up in Feb, sold out in hours)
They also resold 1500 4 day passes very recently and used a waiting room. The number reached all the way to 8000 people waiting.
This pretty much gives you a good idea on how crazy this event gets. I'm not sure whether its easier to get super bowl tickets or comic con tickets now.
I'm assuming 2012 will be very tough. There is going to be everyone trying to get tickets at the same time and its not humanly possible. If possible, I HIGHLY recommend someone buy the tickets for you at this years show. They sell next years tickets at the ticket booth and that is the easiest way to get tickets plus you get a crack at going to preview night.
Here's a rough draft of the costs involved:
Airfare ~$300? Not sure about East Coast flights but as soon as you confirm tickets, book ASAP.
Hotel ~$150-200/nite IF you book early. If you book late, you are looking at 300-500/nite. Comic Con also have travel planners which get you a very nice discount so as soon as they open that up, I would suggest contacting them to see what they can do.
SDCC tickets $105 Prices are probably going up just a tad. They raised the price to $137 for reselling the refunded tickets. So, I'd say add a bit more.
Rental Car ~20-25/day You probably don't need a rental car. SDCC has paid for a lot of shuttles from various hotels. There is also the trolley which runs around to most hotels or at least nearby.
Food/Drinks - Really depends on you. Convention Center food is typically mediocre at best and runs you the normally 3 times inflated prices. Luckily, there are tons of restaurants around so you have lots of choices. So, prices is really dependant on how you like to eat.
Spending Money - Once again, depneds on you. There is so much stuff to see and buy, its pretty ridiculous. There are also tons of panels to see so there is more than enough to do there.
For flights, 5 day stay at a hotel, tickets, and food, roughly around ~$2000 for 2 people.
dashrndar23
07-10-2011, 07:17 PM
Thanks for the info, littlenicky! Where can I find info on ticket packages and which ones cover what parts of the events?
littlenicky
07-10-2011, 10:12 PM
For this year, it was $105 for 4 day passes and $37 for single day passes Thur,Fri,Sat and $25 for Sunday.
They will sell the 4 day 2012 passes at Comic Con this year. Nobody knows the prices yet until they start selling it at the convention. Then, they'll make a formal announcement on their Facebook/Twitter announcing when it will go on sale online. Typically, they do it somewhere around November I think.
They announce all the panels about 2 weeks prior but news on a ton of blogs break the news earlier. Planning early is the key. But, like I said, if you know someone going to Comic Con this year, best thing to do is get that person to buy your tickets at the show.
dashrndar23
07-11-2011, 05:35 AM
Again thanks, littlenicky! I still have to double check everything with my parents and my girlfriend's parents but...anyone there willing to get me a couple 4 day passes?

littlenicky
07-11-2011, 09:08 AM
If you are referring to Muggs, they should be available to at least Saturday. I've never seen them sell out unless they are making a smaller quantity. The only ones that sold out fast was the '08 iron man and Peter Parker. Everything else lasted to at least Sunday.

I was talking more along the lines of the Transformers figures, the Sentinel figure, the GI Joe exclusives, and the Star Wars 14 Figure set.
You may want to go earlier to Mattel booth. The good ones always sell out by Friday/Saturday. All those exclusives look like they have potential to sell out. First one to go would probably be the Star Wars 14 and GI Joe exclusives. Best way to check is go on eBay and see the completed auctions. If you see activity and people paying way more than it costs, you know its going to be a good one.

I picked up a Sentinel and two each of the muggs and some exclusive mini mate figures. Hasbro didnt show any other muggs and i forgot to look in or buy a sketch book.

What's inside the blutonium case? Is it the delorean? I'm jealous of everything you have especially the blutonium, spiderman, dark ryu and mini muggs. Thanks for sharing! Much appreciated

Wow. I think I just realized how much money I might spend next year! Just gonna throw this out there one last time even though its probably too late: If any one there could get two 4 day passes w/o preview that would be awesome. Please PM.

They were selling the passes for next year at my hotel.... the Hyatt.... thursday they sold all 8,000 they had for the day by 3pm. They were only selling with preview night i believe and were going to do 8,000 each day. At 3pm thursday there were about 50 people in line for friday tickets that were going on sale at 8am just crazy

It is re-DONK-ulous to try and get passes for next year. On top of that no more discounts! I think i saw that they were $175 for the 4-day with preview and then $150 for the regular 4-day passes.

they did not have a sdcc sticker on them so i think they may hit retailers, unless someone here scores one for you tomorrow, i only had thursday passes :(

There's supposed to be a Thor coming out along with the Deadpool, did you see a Thor? I hope they're both coming out to TRU if I can't get my hands on them.

Man, that Mini Mugg set is really tempting. What was the price on it and do you guys think it'll hit Hasbro's site like Spidey probably will?
ShinsoMuggs
07-24-2011, 01:34 PM
I think the mini mugg set is $35 plus shipping and will hit the site along with the spidey.
weed_619
07-24-2011, 03:11 PM
im sure the minis will be $35 on HTS.com but they were $38 (tax included) at sdcc
and spidey was $17 (with tax also)

Great meeting everyone here... unbelievable show and turnout... especially all the members that popped by our booth!
Word on the street has it that there may be another exclusive mini mugg set coming out at NYCC... came directly from a Hasbro worker at Hasbro but I don't know whether to believe him or not.... Hoping its true!

I was on HTS since 5am yesterday morning waiting to get the Muggs and GI Joe stuff I wanted. It took so long for me to get to checkout (literally until 11:30 am) due to their craptacular servers that I missed all of the GI Joe stuff I was after, particularly the Starscream Skystriker. Got the Muggs though so that's something right? I'm just hoping they have some protection for Giant Man's head so it doesn't get all messed up during shipping.

Last year, there were reports of people receiving their muggs packaged by simply being thrown into an oversize box with no packing material whatsoever.

Dont know if anyone went to the hasbro panel but they did say mighty muggs would live on most likely in small releases and as exclusives most likely. Is one or two muggs a year okay? I know i was happy too hear that.

How did you get yours already? 1 day shipping?

07-28-2011, 06:48 AM
works for me, since I have moved on from muggs, a few a year is cool, wont break the bank on multiple collections. Plus is that the muggs that do get realesed would hopefully be "special" since they would be limited. like the spidey with mask, wolverine with claws, or metallic Iron Man
