SDCC 2016 Pop! Discussion

[TheWordWizard]

Oh yea, B&N gets the LEAST amount of each exclusive out of any retailer....at least that's how it was last year. So I would definitely be there early and make a bee line for the exclusives table when the doors open up.

Now I just need to decide which entrance to line up at!

Whatever's closest to the exclusive table!

Ha-ha, that could be either! They have their display tables go through the center of the store. I think the outside entrance would have better range ove the mall one though, so I think I'll go for there.

[ohheyitsshannon]

I'm just really anxious about whether or not the main doors to the mall will be open when I get there. I guess I'll be sitting into my car until then if not. Getting really nervous!

Trust me, your mall doors will be open early!

Knowing me, being as unlucky as I am, will get locked out somehow.
I just hope I don't get stopped by a security officer.

[poppetmaster]

Anyone know when the Barnes and Noble ones will be up online, thought it was going to be 43minutes ago

MAYBE 9pm...maybe not. Pacific time. They may not hit until tomorrow.

The way they did it last year at the one I went to was right when you walk in the door, the table was off to the left and had everything on it. I also picked up some non-Funko stuff....like the talking Power Rangers Saba Sword

Mall walkers are in there alllllll the time, before the sun even cracks at dawn. You'll be fine!

Ah cool, thanks! That'll probably be the mall entrance then. Both entrances actually have quite some space between the doors and the usual tables, so I'm probably way overthinking this.

Well if it's actually two ITEMS per person, you shouldn't be too worried. I'm sure there will be enough there, especially if you are waiting early.

[stephencool2]

Well I'm gonna go to Hot Topic first tomorrow...even though there are more that I want at GS, we only have 2 HT in my city and a lot more GS. So I figure I can get all I want from GS even if I need to hit a few of them up. good luck to everyone, and safe hunting!

I'm actually really happy about that, as there's only two I'm looking for, and I'm less worried about missing out on them. Although I know some others are probably a bit bothered by that limit.

The people (usually older retired people) who go in at 6:30/7:00am and power walk around the mall for exercise out of the weather and without hills.

Those old people who show up at the crack of dawn and power walk around the mall over and over and over....safer for them to get their exercise in at the mall than out on the streets.

[luxunadidi]

They're old people who walk around the mall doing laps for exercise. Don't want to brave the elements. When I worked at the mall, they would be in there as early as 6-7am.

If my restless leg syndrome continues, my rug might catch fire. Or I'll have some sick quads by morning.

I'm seeing a lot of cute dogs on amazon but no Barbossa. Merp.

I heard that the Amazon ones went on sale early and are already sold out.



Anyone know if GameStop put SDCC stuff on the website around now?

Boy I sure hope not. I don't think so, though, cause that sounds like the kind of thing we ALL would have heard about by now
