When will the Pre Order happen for new items during SDCC?

I hope none are a noon PPO.

No PPO's during SDCC. Just Pre-orders. PPO's will take place weeks after SDCC.

Pre-orders can go up at anytime though. Us Attendees can pre-order EVERYTHING Wednesday night if they haven't changed anything.
 
At least with the New York show a lot of stuff seemed to go up around 12p PST... either a bit before or a bit after.
 
without any announcement?

Yeah... they will post new products each day... you have to keep a close eye on the new products page... but don't worry, if it is something that will be highly sought after, they will probably do a preview during the Con, with a PPO in the following week or two.
 
Comic Con new product orders usually go up around 10AM PST... at least they have in previous years... I think... :google

Sorry Lonnie... I mean 10am PST, its 12p CST to me since thats where I'm at :monkey3

Must be getting old like you :lol
 
Yeah... I have a meeting from 10am to 2pm Wed. Not going to be able to get out of it either.

then an all day meeting Thursday.... Damn you 3rd quarter!!! :(
 
Lonnie's got it pretty much worked it out from years' past ;) Everyday will bring new pre-orders online, normally posted in the AM (pacific time). Most will be TBD, and SUPER popular stuff will have a Priority Pre-Order for the Exclusive edition after the con is over (noted on the Preview pages, and on the pre-order pages for the regular edition for said items).

As a final note, don't get TOO relaxed if it's a TBD edition size. That doesn't mean it for sure that it won't sell out during the con, because if we reach our goals quickly, the edition will be closed. Best thing to do is just keep an eye on our comic-con section from the 23rd-27th, and if you just can't take a look at least once a day, give customer service a call (after 9 AM PT) and they could list off the items that are currently available - 800-474-3746.

Remember, the Comic-Con section is where the party'll be :) https://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4976
 
As long as Cobra Comander exclusive isn't during the day.

Can neither confirm nor deny, as the schedule is kept under pretty tight wraps, but IF you should miss ANYTHING, just be sure to sign up for the Wait Lists. Honestly, it's by far the best way to get items you missed, especially if you just *barely* miss it by a couple hours. Like, if something you MUST have goes up one morning, but you can't check the site until 6 hours later, and it happened to sell out within those 6 hours - As long as you jump on pretty quick, chances are very good that reservations will be fulfilled. It's never a GUARANTEE, but, if we make several hundred (or into the thousands of something), there WILL be a certain number of cancellations and credit card declines before shipping. As long as you check in at least once a day for the new stuff, it all should work out pretty good :duff

Of course, we can't completely judge the amount of traffic, popularity of something, etc, *before* it happens - we're only human over here after all, and we're dealing with limited edition collectibles - it's the nature of the game!.... but this is all based on years' past... And if you're super worried, keep that phone number at the ready and call on your lunch break or something - Customer Service reps can help you if you're stranded without internet, as long as it's after 9 AM PT!

Keep in mind that in events such as these, the people watching the site the most are automatically the ones who stay on top of it all - be it with new pre-orders, contests & giveaways, daily specials, etc. It's just the way it works to keep it exciting and keep people tuned in each day. In other words, if you don't check in each day, preferably on the internet, don't blame us if you miss something - it's how they like to play it during big events like Comic-Con, Toy Fair, and Spooktacular - and it's not likely to change! :duff
