It's COMIC-CON TIME! too bad i'm not going this year =*(

Super bummed I'm not going this year, the exclusive list is BANGING!

Probably one of the coolest exclusives that I've seen....

the GI Joe Transformer mash up. Comes with a "GI Joe Skystrike" w/ a Cobra Commander.

The Skystrike is really Starscream and the gun Cobra Commander has is the Megatron gun.






Here is the Back to the Future exclusive, it's the crate Doc took back in time, and then inside is a hot wheel of the Delorean.



And well.. this... doesn't need it's own explanation...

COMIC-CON 2010!

Me and Brian at COMIC-CON!

NERDS, GEEKS, INDUSTRY PEOPLE, BOOTH BABES, PHOTOGRAPHERS, BLOGGERS, STARS SUCH AS ROBERT DOWNEY JR, SAM JACKSON, NATALIE PORTMAN, ETC. ETC. and AVENGERS ASSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

WOW! Not sure where to start, got inside the expo hall at roughly 10:30am and insanity ensued.

I started on the far right of the hall (facing from the entrances) where the numbers were in the 100's. The expo hall starts from 0 and goes to around the 5000's...

I got tons of free Merch, some highlights would be:
Starer Deck and a thumb drive from Magic the Gathering Booth
A sweet looking T-shirt from the Zombie Defense Network Booth ( you had to sign into Gowalla to get the shirt)
A bunch of comics from the DC Booth
A sweet T-shirt from the Vindictus booth (actually landed 2 of them due to the fact I was trying to get tickets to win a spirit hood) Vindictus Spirit Hood... *sigh*

I went to the Namco booth and got a comic for a game coming out, called Enslaved, got Dragon Ball Z trading cards, a T-shirt (Xl way too big anyone want it??!?!) and I got a super, special, select ticket which I was able to return at a later time and exchange that ticket for a sweeeeeeeeet pacman lanyard, I'll post pic later of it.
At the DC Universe booth I had to play the game and I got a DC Universe lanyard too, not bad.
From a random grab bag when I was waiting to play Vindictus I got a pillow case that said, something to lines of , don't worry we'll actually sleep with you... hahaha

Bought items:
I bought the tron lightcycle, $5 figure that is probably the coolest thing you could buy for $5.
I bought the Tokidoki shirt that has all the Marvel characters on them, for $30, most expensive thing I bought at Comic-Con.

Lastly... I bought a Darth Vader backpack for $20. Such a sweet buy, can't go wrong with it. I took it to Disneyland last night and no joke got 13 compliments, so awesome.


Went to the Avengers cartoon panel and it wasn't that bad, I wish they would have made Iron Man a little more douchey like he is supposed to be but it's a cartoon and for kids. The whole reason I stayed in the panel is because of the Adult Swim panel that happened right afterwards. Remember sacrifice your time and go to a less crowded panel before the panel you want to go to because they do not clear out the halls after panels. I then left the Adult Swim panel and got a bathroom pass to go to a Spirit Hood giveaway and then returned to the hall for Q&A session w/ the Aqua Teen Hunger Force guys, Tim and Eric and other Adult Swim guys. I asked Eric about upcoming Major Lazer music video and his response was, "it's gonna be wwwhhhhaaaaacccckkkkk brah" hahaha good times.

It was amazing and I will definitely going back next year!

I'M GOING TO COMIC CON!

So thanks to an old friend, the beautiful Shauna Ryanne, I will be at the SAN DEIGO COMIC-CON!

Because every blog needs some eye candy

Also if anyone is at Comic-Con look for Shauna she should be working through out the weekend. =)

Anyway, getting back on topic here; I will be getting to go to Comic-Con this year which is rather unexpected and last minute. Thankfully I have friends in San Diego, shout out to Brian and Aimee <3 that I can stay at since hotels have been booked well um... let's just say when tickets sold out about 8 months ago or so.

As most convention go-ers have 2-3 days ahead of me, I plan on storming this convention with little time I have.

I leave work today around 4pm, then I have to head home and pack it all up, dinner with some friends, then I'll enter San Diego tonight, and then it's go time. SDCC 2010.

With all the limited edition merchandise that will be in present and by present I mean limited amounts and highly fought for like Batman fighting Joker for sanctity of Gotham, I, Dustin Ma will be hunting these items: The tron lightcycle action figure priced at $5 will not be easily obtained but I am hoping for the best on this one. (not likely to get) Tokidoki marvel shirt, I love the mash ups Tokidoki has done in the past year and while the Tokidoki booth is not listed on the official Comic-Con website it is there... and so will be swarms of nerds, geeks, and the likes will be battling me for Tokidoki shirt supremacy. The Boom booth has toy story 3 custom sketches for characters for the Comic-Con event and as a huge Disney fan I'd love to get a hold of one. They also have Duck Tales and Darkwing Duck comics I'd really like to grab. Maybe i'll get to see the terror that flaps at the Comic-Con! Iron Man 2 cells I'd imagine will be a battle for, as well anything that deals with Tony Stark is typically bad ass and kicks a lot of ass. Hopefully I can land one of the cheap cells from the film. Star Wars Keepsake button from Hallmark would be an awesome souvenir for SDCC and I'll will use the force to obtain such an object. Maybe a Zenscope comic they are making special comics for San Diego, dealing with amazing hot comic girls on the cover in a football center hiking position and other poses/covers for comics showcasing some of San Diego's finest features, granted I am not a Chargers fan, yes I'd say the Chargers are one of SD's finest features.

Anyways ladies and gentleman...
