SDCC 2018 Final Recap Part 1

SDCC 2018 went by quickly this year. There was definitely improvements. One of the best things is that they shut down the streets in front of the convention center during convention hours. It made the sidewalks less congested which was wonderful! There are still are lines to get into the exhibit hall and the convention center each day. The lottery drawings for autographs, exclusives etc... seemed to make things a bit better as well. The lines to get in were probably a tad bit longer but it also meant that people wouldn't be camping out for exclusives from companies such as Funko.

There were a lot of outside events/ experiences and there are lines for those as well. So pretty much you need to plan your days and pick your poison with what you want to do or what you want to get each day. If you're with a group and can divide and conquer that's great too. One of our favorite offsite events is going to the Conan O'Brien Show. A lot of the outside events/experiences does not require you to have a SDCC Badge but there are some that do.

Here's some of our pictures from SDCC 2018 below in our slideshow. We posted more on our instagram (handle is collectingtoyz) during SDCC so check them out.

DISENCHANTMENT at SDCC

From the mind of Matt Groening, comes the 10-episode adult animated comedy fantasy series, Disenchantment. Viewers will be whisked away to the crumbling medieval kingdom of Dreamland, where they will follow the misadventures of hard-drinking young princess Bean, her feisty elf companion Elfo, and her personal demon Luci. Along the way, the oddball trio will encounter ogres, sprites, harpies, imps, trolls, walruses, and lots of human fools.

SDCC 2015 Recap - Part 1

Preview Night

SDCC aka San Diego Comic Con was held July 8th (preview night) - July 12th. We've had a couple of weeks to recover from the 4 1/2 days of madness. The picture above was Preview Night and this picture was the calm before the storm. The weather was nice the whole time. It wasn't too hot or too cold. Pretty sure no one really wants to read through this lol so will try to keep this short and to the point.

If you've never been to SDCC. One question... Do you like to stand in line? If not, SDCC is going to be a challenge for you. There are literally lines for everything. There are lines to get into lines to get into yet another line etc... and depending on what you're planning to do, get autographs, exclusives, see a panel, outside events etc... there is going to be lines.

If you like pictures, we have a lot from various companies/events.
