ANOTHER GREAT TIME AT COMIC CON We arrived at the Convention Center around 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday and were allowed to enter to pick up our passes. Unfortunately, after picking up our passes, we had to wait about 2 ½ hours to enter the exhibit hall. Once allowed to enter, we headed straight to the Gentle Giant booth to pick up the Early Bird Edition Han Solo Mini Bust and the exclusive Silver Jango Fett Bust-Up. Next, we headed to the Hasbro booth to pick up the free SW poster, Attacktix fig, and Galactic Hero figs. Then, on to the LEGO booth to pick up their SW poster. Finally, we checked out all the display booths showcasing new and upcoming products. Since I pre-ordered the Holo Leia figures, I decided not to pick them up until Thursday.
As to the forum, these were some of the highlights announced: a) the remaining 12 new figs past #56 b) present Unleashed going on hiatus to be replaced by 2” figs c) Saga collection for ’06 with black/silver card and rounded bubble d) there will be a Commander Cody fig released eventually e) many Fall exclusives including Stealth Trooper f) separation of the twins figs Obi w/Luke and Bail w/Leia Because we would have a two hour drive back home, we decided to by-pass the program Lucasfilm Presents: Star Wars Spectacular. All and all, another great time at Comic Con. PHOTO GALLERY

On
Friday, we hit up the same booths as on Thursday that had the
raffles. We took more pics and then headed up to wait in line to
catch the forum Star Wars: What’s New, and What’s Coming at Hasbro.
This was the first time we ever attended one of these forums and
found it quite interesting. As we were waiting outside for the
forum to start, we met Adam Pawlus from Entertainment Earth. He had
a hand in bringing the EE exclusive clone troopers to light and also
in bringing the soon to be released EE exclusive Droid packs.
