SDCC 2018 Funko Pop Wish List!

[jristenx]

In many ways you are right, but what you fail to miss is the amount of people attending. Sure NYCC is big, but there are likely twice as many attending SDCC or more. I have attended NYCC and it only works smoothly if you win the lottery. I have lost and I was so disappointed to not have a chance at getting some of the exclusives I so wanted. At least at SDCC you can put in the time and be rewarded. And the iPad is no longer a lottery, just tells you what time slot you have. I'll take the sure thing over a 1 in a 130,000 chance of getting in on a single day and hoping that you have an early enough time so that everything is not sold out. Not a fan of lotteries.

OHHHH .. I thought the iPad was a lottery - a yes or no is what I was told. So I thought you could wait all night and then get to the ipad just to be told no! What time is the best time to line up for a guaranteed shot at getting the booth? I mean I really don’t want to wait all night and will have my son/Family in San Diego with me so would be really hard...

So it is a lottery in a way. You aren't guaranteed a yes or no when you step up, if you get a time slot then it is a yes. I have heard of some people not getting time slots even though all tickets have not been handed out.

You can get back into line if you miss out the first time and try again!

As for what time to get in the main line, I believe Sails Pavilion opens around 6:30 am and lotteries will begin shortly after that. So, before then.

I do too. While this will be my first SDCC, I have read all about the camping out, the line cutting and the fact that you wait all night just for a CHANCE at the Funko booth (iPad decides your fate). No thanks! And that scares me since I definitely want to go to the Funko booth. The lottery system is so much better. ECCC does it and so does NYCC. So much smoother - no camping, no line cutting, and you know prior to the con if you get it or not. Hopefully SDCC will get with the program on this.

NYCC and ECCC as well as SWC are all run by Reed Pop... my friends and i talked to the line manager at SDCC and voiced our grievances last year. Not sure if they fell on deaf ears, but hope they change things

This is super far from the truth. I’ve been the past 2 years to sdcc and it seems like it just gets worse as the years go by.
First off, it is definitely not a “sure thing” at sdcc I camped out 18 hours prior to day one to try and get a time slot, didn’t even get to the ipads and they said they were sold out (and mind you I was in the first tent, 100% should have been able to at least try for a time slot) but people cut the line and got there before we were even over in that area. So essentially we waited 18 hours for nothing.
Also even if you get through and get a time slot if you do not receive the 9AM time slot there is no chance you are getting any limited/numbered pops. They don’t replenish stock throughout the day so everyone in the 9AM time slot buys all that up.
In the end it’s difficult for both sdcc and nycc. Nycc is all chance but sdcc is beyond crazy too with high chances of not getting anything despite “doing the time”.

[DREWFANATIC]

Also I hope they have another supernatural exclusive for sdcc.

Wouldn't mind seeing some more supernatural exclusives myself. Anybody in particular your hoping for?

Yeah there are definitely parts of the SDCC process that are very broken. I've heard rumors that more and more stuff is going to straight lottery beforehand - and honestly that might be preferable.

[FearlessPhotog]

Thanos and Iron Man from Infinity War.

yes! I would love this!

Like a stabbed version of IM would be my fave.

yeah, there are a ton of cool fight moments in infinity war that would look great in pop form!

Perhaps I wasn't as specific or detailed as i should have been. Granted and true...nothing is a "sure thing". Being in what you think is the first tent (which if memory serves, is not the first shoot), does not mean that there aren't hundreds of people in front of you before you reach the ticket counter. People do cut the line... but are there 130,000 people that cut in line? Meaning the amount of people you have to fight in an online lottery. And thats assuming there is only 1 entry per person... if people find a way to enter multiple times, then all bets are off. In addition, yes you are right same time slot dilemma if you get a late time you will likely miss out on something, but if i so choose at that point, then i can try again the next day. A lottery does not have the benefit... you get 1 entry to only win 1 time for 1 day the entire weekend.

As I have stated in other forums and discussions with others... the process is not broken... it's the security and the way CCI handles line management. They simply need to police the lines better. Perhaps even give out wristbands the night before like Hall H. They can't allow 100 people to get in the line the morning of with a group of 2 line holders. This ruins it for the people 200 people back and so forth.

That's a good one! "Sails Pavilion opens around 6:30 am and lotteries will begin shortly after that. So, before then." But i am right with you... before then!

2 years ago, it was a lottery... about a 75% win rate of a timed slot. If you lose, you could possibly get back in line again. last year, everyone was a winner until they ran out of tickets.

I try to be helpful Honestly, though, line times change so much year over year, I don't even know what a good time is anymore. My general advice to ppl is just enjoy your con and don't get too attached to any one thing. And, if something is your priority, be prepared to wait in a line for a loooooong time.

I was not about to wait in the line for that long, but I was there at opening last year just standing on the curb waiting for some people before going to an outside event on the back side of the convention. It was so chaotic and quite a sight to watch from a distance.

I took a timelapse video last year of some of the lines from my window at the HBF and it's like a really weird intricate dance!

I believe a con attendee's "dance" is similar to "The floss".

Need a preview soon.

Ultra instinct goku or sdcc captain crunch

YES I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR THESE

ANything DBZ will do well. The fan base is HUGE! I definitely like the pop icons idea though I think it will be at the pop up shop, not the SDCC booth.

I hope so that will give us a chance to get it!

I don't think it would be possible to make it to the back of the Funko line to try again. Maybe if you are right at the front, try and get back there before the line gets big enough. I know we lined up at about 2am and were way too late to do anything, we made it through the general line and got into the Funko line just as it was sold out. As soon as the line breaches the harbor steps its game over

[Macmill22]

More Scott pilgrim since cons are basically the only tim they are released.

[TJLAUTERBACH]

i hope they do an online lottery for the pop up shop... that will help save time...
really hoping there's something WWE for SDCC

An online lottery for the pop up shop sounds TOO good!

Just leave it alone. Last lottery system was a nightmare! Bots got 90% of the stuff. Stop changing things. When it is left alone it works. All they need to do is just monitor multiple iteams going to same person.

[racheva]

There are not twice as many people at SDCC as compared to NYCC. It only feels that way because the venue for SDCC is like half the size. I believe official numbers put NYCC ahead of SDCC as far as attendees go.

And it's still officially a lotto in Sails in the early morning. Funko might weight it toward more winners so they can be done faster, but it's still a lotto.

Yeah twice through line would be pretty much impossible. I ’d with breaching the harbor stairs. That’s exactly the point....when you get down onto the boardwalk and start heading down towards the Hyatt it’s time to think about heading somewhere else.

Yeah I think some of the very first people can get back in line but it quickly becomes impossible (as with all drawings up in Sails). Honestly, your best bet is to bring friends who are willing to draw for you.

This is the biggest issue for me. One evening I camped out and I was 40 or so in line but by the morning when we were let in I was literally like 150-200 back!! I understand holding for that child or pregnant wife or that ONE friend but for 5 perfectly able people?? Have SDCC just invest in monitoring the line all night too and holding people accountable. That would help a TON!! If you're willing to put in the time and effort, you should be rewarded. That's fair.

While I agree that line policing would keep people more honest, I fear we are heading towards a great deal more lotteries for exclusives in the future.

Agreed... I don't mind holding like a 1-3 ratio. taking line shifts allows a little more enjoyment, however you can't have 20 people show up for 1 person in line. It's just not right.

Over the years, i have seen line cutting more accepted. I remember several years ago people would tell stories how they would take pictures of lines, and tell security when people would get in line and were not supposed to be there. I see less and less people monitoring their own lines and space.

It seems like everyone and their dogs are down there waiting to jump in the line when it breaches the steps. Its funny, when the line gets down there it instantly doubles in size

From what I have heard early in the morning people start forming unofficial lines amoungst themselves. As soon as the official lines breach the steps they join in

[WildberryPOPtarts33]

I know they are going to make a movie version of Spider-Gwen for the animated Miles Morales film, but I reallyyy hope they don't give her another version that's sdcc. This is an anti-sdcc request! Lol

I've heard a lot of cutting goes on in those lines. I have never tried Its just too much trouble. I was lucky enough to get to the funko both twice during preview night when it was run for your life but haven't been during the con at all.

You don't think if they had staff over there they could police it? I am assuming its a week spot for volunteers watching the line

Unfortunately it is a cause and effect... people create worse people. Get a few bad apples and then the good people feel the need compete, so they do it to. It does ruin it.

I've heard a lot of cutting goes on in those lines. I have never tried Its just too much trouble. I was lucky enough to get to the funko both twice during preview night when it was run for your life but haven't been during the con at all.

It was massive line cutting, there was nothing anyone without a bulldozer could do...

You don't think if they had staff over there they could police it? I am assuming its a week spot for volunteers watching the line

Volunteers try but ultimately, they're not empowered to do much so it keeps happening. I always say that one year they need to just start yanking badges and then it'll never happen again.

They need to. Would not be difficult to get about 10-15 volunteers to monitor the lines. Even a few security people.
