SSDCC (The extra S is for "Sucky")

So this is weird... every report I hear coming in from last weekend's San Diego Comic Con is that nobody had a good time there. At the most, people are reporting that they had a good time *despite* the convention.

That's really weird, and I don't like it :(

Is that why I haven't heard much about it this year? Even during last year's move, I remember hearing waaaaaaaaaaaay more about things than I ever heard this year. Granted, I mostly keep an ear out on the toy front, but still, this year things were really, freakishly quiet. :/

I think that's exactly why we're not hearing anything. There was nothing new, nothing exciting, just people standing in line for free stuff and exclusives. Mile High Comics, the biggest retailer there, estimates that they lost $10,000 on the whole deal and no other retailer did any better. No one was willing to get out of the free stuff lines to go pay for anything!
