San Diego Comic Con 2010 Middle-Manning

[Gorilla Warfare]

It's that time of the year again, and I'm once more off to sunny California for the proverbial Nerd Prom.

Now, as a service to my fellow Canucks who can't make it, I'm once again willing to act as a middle-man, picking up desired exclusives and passing them along at cost (plus shipping). If you're unsure of what's available, there's a (more or less) complete list of this year's exclusives here.

Now, I'm willing to stand in line on behalf of complete strangers, but there *are* some limits:

• Some booths (IE: Hasbro & Mattel) strictly limit the amount of exclusives you can purchase. For instance, last year Hasbro had a limit of 4 on any exclusive. If the number of people clamoring for an exclusive exceeds the limit, it's strictly first come first serve.
• I have limited suitcase space, so some larger items are pretty much right out, unless you're willing to pay extra for SDCC's on-site shipping.
• Unless they've changed the way things are handled, Mattel's booth is a complete catastrophe. If you want something from Mattel, I sincerely doubt I'll be able to get anything without essentially sacrificing half a day to stand in line. Because of this, Mattel is the exception to "cost + shipping" rule; I'm not in the business of ripping people off, but I'd like to be compensated for my time.

Now, if nothing on the exclusives list jazzes you, I'll also be grabbing giant arm loads of free promotional swag; I'll post pictures of my daily haul, and declare open season for nothing but the cost of shipping.

I'll have my laptop and my iPhone with me, so I'll be able to monitor both this thread and my email, meaning daily status updates.

I would be interetsed in the Blaster exclusive, and as I live in Banff formally from e-town I make trips up there every now and then so I could save both me and you on the shipping

[Jeem]

I'm in Calgary and would love the Iron Man Mark VI Mighty Mugg to go with my TRU exclusives

I would also take a Blaster if you have room in your suit case

[CETERUS PRIME]

First off, Thanks for offering your help ! An SDCC Blaster would interest me as well.

[herooftheday316]

I would also like a Blaster if possible. It is really good of you to ask and its ok if I didn't make the cut

Thanks again

If you could get a set of the Sgt Slaughter figs I would be more than happy to compensate you for your time

Thanks for the offer!

[Gorilla Warfare]

Wow, great response! Okay, just so we're clear, here's my current shopping list (assuming Hasbro's keeping their 4 unit limit)

-Autobot_Lancer - Blaster
-Rogue Optimus (via PM) - Blaster, Skeletor/Molarr
-Jeem - Blaster, Iron Man Mighty Mugg
-Ceterus Prime - Blaster

AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, WE'RE CALLING BLASTER SOLD OUT. Sorry, herooftheday316 and Enraged Coconut; I'll try and work something out.


Moving on:

-Enraged Coconut - Iron Man Mighty Mugg
-Cobra Commander - Sgt Slaughter (I assume you want both variants)

Now, I'm not sure how Hasbro is going to handle the Sgt. Slaughter variants. Assuming that both variants are considered multiples of the same unit (ie: getting one of each version counts as two Sgt. Slaughters against your limit), SGT SLAUGHTER IS SOLD OUT, since I plan on getting one of each variant for myself.

So to those of you who missed the cut off, feel free to post regardless, as I might be able to swing something with my girlfriend/friends, but I make no guarantees.

Hey,

I'd love a Mighty Muggs Prowl if you can snag any.

Also if there happens to be a way you can get any extra Blasters (I know he's "sold out") I would gladly take one of those as well.

Cheers!

I would love a SDCC Blaster and Mighty Muggs Prowl as well if that is possible
