SDCC is not about standing in lines. Sideshow makes it quick and easy to pick up your stuff and still have plenty of time to wander around the booth and check out all the new stuff.

(Although "booth" isn't really the right word for it.)

Tom, weren't you one of those who had to lug the Luke PF around during SDCC?
 
So can I get the SDCC Exclusive stuff just from the site, or do I actually need to be at SDCC?? I of course will have to wait to see if I really want anything from the lineup, but confused as to the ordering part.
 
Sideshow will have a special ordering day for people who are not attending and they will mail the exclusive to you just like anything else you order from them.

One of these years I'm going to go to SDCC.

Tom, weren't you one of those who had to lug the Luke PF around during SDCC?

Actually, I had two large Sideshow bags, one in each hand, holding:

-Luke Skywalker PF
-POTA Vision Lawgiver Statue
-Werewolf Oz
-Thor's Hammer and Helmet Replica
-Ultimate Hellboy
-Patient Zero
-Hooded Rohirrim Soldier Bust

I didn't have a hotel that year. My hands were almost bleeding by the end of the day, and I almost couldn't get them to flex open enough to wrap them around the steering wheel for the long drive home.

In 2006, I got smart and stayed for a few days in a room at the Omni across the street. Last year, they moved it to the last week in July and I couldn't get down for more than one afternoon. This year, it's the same bad week and I haven't yet figured out a way to get down there at all. Hopefully, next year they will move off the last weekend of July...
 
Holy crap Tom, that's quite a haul. Must have been a real pain to navigate the crowd with that much stuff.
 
..the SD convention center is huge, but not huge enough. I heard that next year, the convention will be moving to a biggger convention center....in LA.

Hope it is not true.
