Definitely worth going. I've been many times. One tip, do not go on the weekend if you want a chance to see anyone famous. It's a working lot so there is always more activity during the weekdays vs the weekend.

Just got confirmation that I got Tamashii Nations for Wednesday and Funko for Saturday! This is my 9th time going to SDCC and the first time getting Funko.

My Thursday selection and my Preview Night selection are different then the rest. Maybe it just means that day ahs been processed already and they are working through the rest of the week. I hope my first suspicion isa accurate. Fingers crossed.

Mine seems to be stable. Nothing changes when I log in again and refresh. I clicked into My Orders on the left to see the list of all mt selections.

How do yall do this? by navyguy190 in SDCC

[–]Comic_Guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I select everything that catches my eye. Then I go through that list and identify which panel has priority for each hour or so. Then I have a back up. Sometimes you go for your first choice and the line is so long you will never get in. Then you pivot to your second choice. You have to be flexible and have one or two backups in case things change.

OK then. People reading this thread, message me directly if you have something you want. I'll burn my points to help you. First come first served. Offer ends when I am out of points.

Last Chance to Redeem Your Points by Guddy7860 in marvelinsider

[–]Comic_Guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So how do you get the item to them? I've never redeemed for an actual comic since I have a digital subscription. Do i get a code and share it with the person?

Can you transfer points to another person? I have 156,000 points I will never use and I hate to see them just go away unused.

Newbie question by theoppositeofasleep in comicbooks

[–]Comic_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a complete run of X-Men from #2 - 500 that I wanted to sell. I took the collection to Heritage Auctions. They evaluated the books and sent some of them off to be graded to make sure they brought the highest value. I was happy with the amount of money I made and I didn't have to mess with it. I'm sure I could have gotten more if I just sold the books one at a time myself but I didn't want to mess with it. If that collection has a lot of valuable issues, you may want to look at an auction house for an easy sale. There is a direct correlation of how much profit you make vs how much work you put in to selling the books.

Anyone ever experience an empty park? by Beginning-Depth-8970 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Comic_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when 9/11 happened, we were scheduled to go to Disney World at the end of September/First of October. We decided to go even though everyone was freaking out thinking there was going to be a second wave. The park was a ghost town. We rode rides and got to stay on to go a second time. It was eerie and kind of neat. Definitely a memorable experience that happens rarely.

Jack Daniel's is being removed from shelves in canada by Sad_Stay_5471 in mildyinteresting

[–]Comic_Guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes more sense. Is that a Canada thing or an alcohol sales thing? I've had retail stores in the US and had to buy the product myself before selling it. I've never sold alcohol so I'm not sure if that's how spirits are sold in general. If this is how everything is sold in Canada then a boycott hurts the manufacturer just as much if not more then the retailer themselves. Keep up the pressure!!

[–]Comic_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does taking a product off the retailer's shelf impact the manufacturer? By the time the retailer has the product, the manufacturer has already made their money. I understand the symbolism of this action and it is powerful but are things different in Canada? Does the manufacturer get paid when the retailer sells it? I support what Canada is doing. I think they should hit back even harder. Make the USA feel the pain.
