Upon arrival at 2pm, I was told the \"noon batch\" were taking a lot longer than expected so come back at 3pm. Apparently a lot of credit cards were being denied, most likely because Hasbro is making charges through the home office in Rhode Island, so it's setting off all the credit card alarms (as happened to me last year). Regardless, it took an hour and 50 minutes from getting in line against the back wall to exiting the HasbroToyShop with my purchases. Rough!<\/p>\n<p>Also was my first panel - <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/?p=4476\">the DC Direct one<\/a>. Little in way of news or anything, but at least it was a toy thing.<\/p>\n<p>The other big event was an 11pm showing of <i>Captain America<\/i> at the Horton Plaza movie theater. Suffice to say it was right good. Not great, but definitely up there with <i>Iron Man<\/i> in terms of enjoyment and shocking ability to actually make the story\/character work on screen. Chris Evans was great and I very much look forward to seeing it again. Plus, to make things cooler we got a free Mondo-tees style movie poster! Too cool!<\/p>\n<p>Various other highlights include some surprisingly high-quality <i>Princess Bride<\/i> statues and bobbleheads, a great Data bust, and Boba Fett\/Wolverine costume. Score of the day: <i>Tron 2.0<\/i> figure for $10\/each.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/sdcc_haul1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/sdcc_haul1-300x203.jpg\" title=\"sdcc_haul1\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" class=\"aligncenter\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And now... back to the show! <\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4477 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/sdcc_dcd_jimlee2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/sdcc_dcd_jimlee2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/sdcc_cap.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/sdcc_cap-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/sdcc_pb1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/sdcc_pb1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/sdcc_pb2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/sdcc_pb2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/sdcc_busts.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/sdcc_busts-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/sdcc_fetterine.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/sdcc_fetterine-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H5>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;<\/H5><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Deadpool 3: Cowboypool addendum\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2026\/06\/deadpool-3-cowboypool-addendum\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Deadpool 3: Cowboypool addendum<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"SDCC 2011 - Day 3, Saturday\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2011\/07\/sdcc-2011-day-3-saturday\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">SDCC 2011 - Day 3, Saturday<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"The evil conspiracy behind Force Friday\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2015\/09\/the-evil-conspiracy-behind-force-friday\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">The evil conspiracy behind Force Friday<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Flippin' through Previews - June '14\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2014\/06\/flippin-through-previews-june-14\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Flippin' through Previews - June '14<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Marvel Legends Toad addendum\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2023\/02\/marvel-legends-toad-addendum\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Marvel Legends Toad addendum<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first official day of SDCC went off without a hitch, unless of course two-hour lines for toys can really be considered hitch-less &lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;Fiction meets Fiction He-Mandalorian Rustin's Spoils of the Week #55 Rustin's Spoils of &hellip;
