The final day of Comic Con is taking it's toll on this trooper. I
have spent a good amount of time going through the exhibit hall
looking for new products from Hasbro, Gentle Giant, Sideshow, and
Kotobukiya. I meet up with friend, who was only visiting on
Sunday. Since I had the lay of the land, I gave another tour. We walked around the exhibit hall looking at fan costumes and he
peered in different booths to see what warez he might want later down
the road. We saw a few interesting costumes and few Star Wars
themed one. Oddly enough for as packed as the place was, it
felt like the convention was dying down.
Around the lunch hour, me meet up with my wife, Tammi. She
wanted to see the Peanuts booth and take a picture with Snoopy.
After watching all the kids in the area play with Snoopy and give
him hugs, we had our turn to take a photo with him. The people
at the Peanuts booth were giving away free buttons of Snoopy and
other characters from peanuts. It was
time for Snoopy to go so we walked over to other booths to pick up
the rest of the exclusive.
I
needed to stop by the ACME booth to see the full size Sandtrooper
display. While I was there I have a few minutes to meet up
with Peter Ferk for another signature and picture with him. He is a very
nice fellow and was more than happy to help this trooper out. Peter did mention that he used parts of
Sandtroopers.com as inspiration for the design character key cell. I don't think
this will be the last we hear from him.
As we near the end of the convention, we stop by Hasbro to pick
up a few more figures for other troopers. I finally meet up
with Adam (Fence) and his son. We chatted for a few minutes,
while waiting in the
Gentle Giant pre-order pick up line. He "flashed" me his new
Slave Leia tattoo!!! It was nice to see him and his family
again, but time was short and we had to part ways. I did run
into chicanodom before leaving the convention grounds. He is a
nice guy as well.
After a long ride on the Dewback home. We unloaded all the
goodies from the SDCC. I did manage to get most things
people asked for me to pick up. I took a few pictures just to
show you scalpers can be beat. Before anyone asks these are
all spoken for. Until next time, United we find.
