War Machine Marketing Custom Figures for SDCC

War Machine Marketing has teamed up with artists throughout North America to create some of the most intricate, special, limited-edition items.  Though their custom trade is year-round, some incredibly special items are being made for San Diego Comic Con 2018.  From Star Wars characters that have never had their own action figure, to the re-imagining of some of our favorite characters, War Machine Marketing creates pieces SO limited and exclusive that to own one puts the collector in a category all their own.

War Machine Marketing is doing 4 different custom items based on the Funko line of figures. Each item will be sold to the winners of a lottery.  One per day.  Tickets will be given out each morning between 9-11am and the drawing will occur at noon each day.  Winners must be at the booth to make the purchase immediately following the drawing.

"Don't Go Broke Collecting" Comic-Con 2018 Panel

Are Geeks Destined to Go Broke?


This is an interesting panel for many collectors! Definitely check it out if you have some time not standing in line buying your exclusive collectible! 

Los Angeles (July 7, 2018) - San Diego Comic-Con offers some of the hottest collectibles of the year. But collecting has a Dark Side, in the form of going broke.
Fear not, for the panel, "Don't Go Broke Collecting" is here to save the day, helping attendees partake in their favorite passion, but in a financially savvy manner. Scheduled for Saturday, 7/21/18 at 5-6:00p.m. in Grand 1 & 2 Ballroom at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, the panel will provide shopping tips, money-saving tricks, and online ordering hacks.
"We're not going to say, 'Not Buy.' You can buy, and you can collect. But there are ways to save money and even earn money back on your purchase so you don't have to make a Sophie's Choice between buying that awesome collectible and eating," says Ken Choy.
Extreme bargain shopper Choy has amassed nearly 6000 Harry Potter items. 90% of that was bought with some kind of discount or deal. And many times, a combination of deals.
"Coupons, credit card incentives, online shopping portal cash back, discounted gift cards, or all of the above. When you're buying hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of stuff, stacking deals to turn something that's 70% off into something that's 80% off translates into saving a lot of money. Or several good meals," says Choy.
Also on the panel: Freelance editor, columnist, and comic book writer Vince Moore (Total Recall: Life On Mars) will share insight gained from being a comics retailer. Writer and poet Joseph Gordon (Into the Wormhole: A Star Trek Podcast) will prep attendees on battling aisle trolls and spotting fraudulent returns.
More panelists to be confirmed. More bank accounts to be saved.
