DesignerCon was better than ever, no doubt about that. These were pretty much all we picked up barring free postcards etc... lol. Wish we could've picked up more Grody or Paul Kaiju stuff but it just wasn't meant to be this time around. Maybe next time. Lulubell and Paul Kaiju's booth were pretty busy once the doors opened. Missed out on the latest Cadaver Kid as well but there's always next time. I think this time around, we picked up less stuff than previous years. It's probably due to selective collecting where as previous years, it's buy this and this and later regretting it.

See you at next year's DCon!

DesignerCon 2011 Recap

DesignerCon has come and gone. This was the best one yet. Every year the show gets bigger and better. One tiny problem was the way they handled the "At the Door ticket buyers" and the way they had formed one line to get in beforehand. Most people in line had already purchased tickets online. The confusion was when they let the people who needed tickets go buy them and let them get in the line to buy the Goodie Bags while everyone else who was there hours in advance had to wait outside. 

For next year, they should just have someone walk the line and ask if they are buying a Goodie Bag and give them a ticket so it guarantees that you will get a bag. So then, it wouldn't matter if you had purchased your ticket at the show or online.

Other than that the show was great. They had their World's Biggest blind box Time, Suckathon etc... lots of different shows within the show. There were lots of custom figures, live painting, toys, clothes, art etc... and of course EXCLUSIVES!
