<\/a><\/p>\nI began the day by rushing down to Opening Bell and, being diverted up to the Sails Pavillion before heading back down to the floor, made it to Mattel at 9:15am where I was given a hand written post-it with a time and told to come back at 10am. Super. I went back at 9:55a to find out that Stay Puft was sold out... already and again. Geez. Maybe limit of 6 per person isn't so cool. Punks. The upswing is that I was able to get a Neville Longbottom, so now my \"you're screwed\" trifecta is down to two (Stay Puft and Squirrelpool).<\/p>\n
The day was predominantly spent bouncing around toy exhibitor and vendor booths. Scores include Clone Trooper Obi-Wan bust for $25 (#0138 no less!), the rest of the Tron 2.0 figures and a semi-grail, the original DCD Sinestro figure (yes, the clown suit one). I also chatted a bit with the guys at Mixo and got a couple of their new tins. They're pretty simple but cool tin can with a little paper-craft inside, and for $10\/each they're great Comic Con finds.<\/p>\n
Beyond that there were the panels, of course:<\/p>\n

After dinner the night was closed out with the traditional Masquerade, an event 20 times more fun that it should be or<\/b> that you would imagine. It was a short one this year, lasting less than 90 minutes while sporting 31 (Ha Ha Ha [wooo, yeah, what, oh man]). I missed the first seven but of what I saw probably the highlight was \"Brak-est Night\" which featured Black Lantern Spaceghost and Star Saphire Brak.<\/p>\n
And now... on to the final rush of toy purchasing madness.<\/p>\n
