We went to the con with just a carry on bag, but returned with 3 extra large bags full of loot. Amongst the freebies we gladly grabbed were:
– 4 t-shirts (including a Star Wars one)
– 17 30 card MTG intro decks (yes, 17!)
– 6 complete novels (the exact version you’d get in a store). One of these is even autographed!
– 4 comics
– several good-sized tote bags
– Dozens of badges and stickers
In addition, we spent large amounts of hard-earned cash on such things as:
– 40 comics (most of which cost $0.50 each…)
– 2 Dalek figures (orange and blue, my collection is now complete!)
– the above shown box of Kong trading cards, which cost me only $6
– many sets of trading cards (including Doctor Who companions and Doctor Who movies), at a price of 6 sets for only $10!
– a light switch plate cover
– several toys (deliberately being non-specific here)
– 2 calendars…
– a Cthulhu t-shirt (pictured in the previous blog entry)
– various books and manga
In addition, there is a large selection of gifts for most of you reading this, which I obviously won’t go into detail about here.
And then there was one last item, which cost me $15, which is so special it is going to get a blog entry all of its own…
Is that another switch plate cover of the “turning on” variety? Let me know when you work out what the yellow Dalek does
Ha ha, no it’s a mermaid switch!
The only thing I know about the yellow Dalek is that it should last forever
