SDCC 2011 - Preview Night

Thursday, July 21, 2011

First off, I forgot my camera cable so be prepared for crappy cell phone pics. XD We knew that exhibitors would have first dibs. So we were prepared for that.

Of course I ran for Bwana and when I got there the items I was eying were not out. I had to be good and held back. I then went to Gargamel where Nate was already in line and the the really nice customs were picked up by the usual suspects who were kind enough to show us what they got.

I was a little disappointed that were no standard size SDCC exclusives. Lots of pockets which is probably their biggest sellers. Customs wise not as much as last year's Preview Night but they are dropping new ones each and everyday which is exciting and frustrating at the same time.

I for one am very proud of how Nate and I did. I think as the years go by we have learned to be selective with what we add to our collection. We have a fairly extensive toy collection and learning from other collectors and seeing other collections, we have learned to be discriminating with new additions. We prefer to enhance our collection vs enlarge.

So here is a pic of my haul:

I got Micro Set #1 which includes a Zagoran, Sleeping Killer and Angel Bird. Boris the Bee and RealxHead Chaos Man Next Fighter. Really happy with the Next Man as we never get a chance to get this particular head sculpt of the RxH Chaos stateside.

Nate's Preview Night Haul:

Pink GID Marbled Mongolion with excellent marbling, Micro Set #2 which includes the Helper, Ooze Bat and Hujili's Ghost. Super7 Shogun Storm Trooper Missile which was free with any purchase from S7 booth.

When you buy certain pocket figures from Gargamel you get a free micro. I picked up the orange ooze bat and the GID and green were gifts from David. Awesome toy karma!

Can't sleep. Too excited for tomorrow. We'll see what the new day brings us!

Dragon Ball Z Kai: Part Five - I've been taking advantage of the pre-order pricing at Amazon. Lately, a lot of the DBZ Kai blu-rays have been $18 or less and I have been swooping in and grabbing some when they dip that low. 

Soul Eater: Meister Collection 1 & 2 - I love this anime and it's extremely popular. I didn't expect it to ever dip down to $20 but it dipped enough for me to purchase. This is one of the last anime I was actively pursuing the fansub. 
 
Shawshank Redemption - A classic film, plain and simple. Nate and I often watch it when it pops up on TV. 

Dragon Ball Z Kai: Part Four - I am now current with all the DBZ Kai releases. I just need to sit down and watch it. It's been a busy month though...
