Wondercon 2006

Did anyone here go to WonderCon in San Francisco (the sister con of SDCC)?

If so, what did you get? Find any Macross deals?

Have any pictures to share?

I had tixs but didn't go, had other things to do.

Wow every year I ask this and there are always SOME people here that went.

This year no one huh!?!?

Well it was in a new building, and was held on 2 or 3 floors.

Macross items were rare, and expensive if you could find any.

I did buy a good amount of Transformers though.

I go the Pepsi Prime for $45 flat, and reissue Galvatron for $50.

Then I went to another dealer and he was selling the reissue Tranformers for $30 each (minus the expensive ones like Prime & Megs, and Soundwave)

He said if I bought more then 2, I could get them for $25 each. So I bought #11 Astrotrain, #19 Perceptor, #20 Kup & Wheelie, & #18 Blitzwing.

All for $25 each!

I would have bought more, but I had the rest of them. I should have waited for this con to get most of them. I overpaid when I pre-ordered those babies at HLJ when they first came out.

I saw one dealer selling the #13 Hot Rod reissue for #19! I shoul dhave bought it, but passed. Now I regret not getting it. The thing is I already have it, but damn that was a good deal!

The 1/48 Macross were way too overpriced.

The only decent priced Macross I could find was an 80's film comic/manga for $4.

Also those Banpresto catcher machine Transformable Valkyries, one dealer had them for $5 each. Even the ones with the armor were $5!

Other then that, not too many Macross items.

The highlight for me was getting autographs and hanging out with Kevin Smith & Frank Miller. Oh yeah Jim Lee showed up and started sketching for people and he wasn't even on the guest list, that was pretty cool.
