Really I'm hoping they have some SDCC stuff.

I bought the 4 day pass that allows me to get in @ 2:00 on Thursday. The Hasbro booth is the first place I'm going to visit.

Well after speaking with Hasbro I was told that Hasbro will not have any SDCC stuff this year. There are some talks with head office but that won't be for a few more years.

The good news is that as of last Friday the schedule for Fan Expo went up. Right now it looks like I will be there Thursday - Saturday.  ;D

Yes, very expensive indeed. That's one reason I didn't spend much at the CJC this year. I didn't hit SDCC but another convention at the end of July, 2 weeks later CJC and then 2 weeks later Fan Expo.

I'm going to be at Fan Expo for 2:00 today. Anyone else going early?
