Things you're hunting for at SDCC?

[Darth Caedus]

Jeez, are there any Cons that Margot Kidder doesn't attend?

She came to the one in my basement, that was tons of fun...

I guess it depends on what you go to Cons for. If you go for the main purpose of obtaining "common" collectibles then, yes, they have become much less fulfilling in that regard in recent years. However, if you're into getting stuff signed, meeting industry folks, obtaining rare and/or original art, participating in Q&A events, seeing some very interesting things and snagging show exclusives then there really is no better place than SDCC.

And while the Comic aspect of Comic-Con is still being phased out (they should have renamed it San Diego International Media Con years ago) it's still a good place to snap up books. Oh, and bootleg DVDs.

Now, if you are into the mingling and partying aspect (including lots of wild costumes, hot chicks and a Mardi Gras atmosphere) then your Con tour should begin and end with Dragon*Con.

As long as she didn't jump through your living room window naked--I'm sure is was a laugh riot. I hope she shared her meds!

You should never have let her leave.

Can you read my mind?

Do you know what it is that you do to me?

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

If I could go, I would hunt some Freaks (they are no things I know) and drink some beer
....

Are you serious?? What is wrong with you? You know exactly how good the Belgian beer is, still you'd drink the American brew voluntarily??? I don't understand you!

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

....I'm looking for something freaky and something dusty

Man... If only I would have succeded in making that screen grab of "bandanna-chick" Dusty showing off her belly button piercing last year. I would be a milionaire by now!!! At least I've seen it, and the picture is etched on my retina...

I just want to know what are my chances of getting those items I mentioned on my first post?

Unless they are super rare I would bet you would be able to find a few of those items.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

Not to be Debbie downer, but good luck with that.

It used to be that you could find rare stuff at conventions, but with the proliferation of online stores and ebay there's usually never anything special or rare at a con. Everyone has the same current release stuff and it's usually higher priced than you can get it online. Until Sunday when some great deals can be made.

[Calle_Sandell]

A convention here in Sweden tend to have some rare stuff... atleast I've seen some the times I've attended...

I remember standing last year and admireing a WitchKing Trueform... tough it was mighty expensive!

SB that stuff on your list is all easy to get. I wouldn't sweat it. You'll have lots of fun

 

[Voorhees27]

To answer the original question I would have to say:

1. Terminator 1 battle damage
2. Rocky figures (all)
3. Rambo III
