DST to Open Minimates Headquarters at SDCC

Diamond Select Toys will be opening a Minimates Headquarters at SDCC this year.

"Taste and Thirst on Fourth, the home of some of the best wings in San Diego, will become the headquarters for Minimates fans beginning Friday, July 19th. The Headquarters will open to the public at 11 am, and will be the home of the touring 10th Anniversary Exhibit, with 10 years of Minimates and Minimates artwork on display all weekend. Pick up one of the con-exclusive Shadow Merk Battle Beasts when you visit, and use the coupons available at the DST booth (#2607) to get a discount on food and drinks!

As a special treat for the hardcore Minimate fans, DST will also open the Headquarters to the public at 10 pm on Thursday night! The exhibit will be on display, the DST staff will be on hand to talk shop, and lucky attendees will receive a free exclusive translucent orange “Hot Wings” Merk Minimate while supplies last!

Taste and Thirst on Fourth is located at 715 4th Avenue, and opens at 11:00 on Friday, and 8:00 on Saturday and Sunday."

Godzilla Anyone?

 Just received the following:

HIGH ALERT: Godzilla advancing toward San Diego...

and Comic Con attendees are advised to be on guard as the convention approaches.

Legendary tracking equipment has been able to pinpoint where he will land and if the coordinates hold, he will thankfully just miss the Convention Center. The monster collision will, however, impact the surrounding downtown area significantly. I have picked up some news clips on his progress at this site:
