Toy News: Mattycollector.com: More details for SDCC



We answered a lot of questions about SDCC in the note thread from yesterday, but to repeat some of the information here:


PRICES AND LIMITS:

MOTUC He-R0 = $20.00 (version with SDCC stamp available only at the show)
DCUC Wonder Twins = 40.00 (Gleek is only available at the show)
TS Buzz Lightyear = $15.00 (chase version with "ANDY" on foot only available at the show)
CARS Firefighter Mater = $30.00
GB Egon with Slimer = $20.00
DCU IH 3 3/4" Anmti Monitor = $10.00 or Free at the Marketing booth with 50 points
JLU Green Lantern 3 pack = $20.00

All of these items are 6 per person per line wait. If you wait in line a second time you can get another 6 of each.

All of the items above (except the SDCC versions, such as Gleek, He-Ro with SDCC stamp and chase Buzz with "ANDY on foot) will be on MattyCollector.com on Aug 3 at 12:00 noon eastern time.

SALES

We will have a seperate booth for sales this year with 8 registers and a full staff. We will except Cash, Visa and Mastercard.

We will bring in seperate shipments each day, so if we sell out on Wed or Thursday, we will have more on Friday. We can not guarantee any of the items as we do intend to sell out of all items by Sunday. Any remaining items left from the show will be sold on Mattycollector.com. We will not be selling to any third parties or dealers.

We will have 500 copies of the MOTU Art book on Wed and 500 on Thursday. We can not guarantee we will have these books past Thursday.

Traditionally we have had plenty of every item by Friday and Saturday and the lines are MUCH shorter. While we can not guarantee we will have all items on Friday and Saturday, we can promise lines will be shorter.

If the lines get longer than the roped off area we will pass out "FAST PASS" tickets which will let you come back into line a few hours later. It will not get you to the front, but it will let you go right into line infront of anyone waiting in the wings or hallway. Honestly, we are not 100% sure how this will work as we will be working with SDCC security throughout the show and will be using the FAST PASS tickets to help managage any long lines. More information will be available at the show.

QUESTIONS ABOUT ITEMS

We will not have WWE items at this show. WWE will be revealed in the fall.

We will have a non slimed Egon figure down the road with a PKE meter, but not anytime soon. Egon is slimed in this version since he comes with Slimer and is the first figure available in the line. (Egon was chosen as the first figure simply because he was the first sculpt approved).

We will have additional items for sale such as DC Barbies, Simpsons Scene it, and some other MOTUC figures; He-Man, Beastman and Skeletor. Because we have very limited supply of MOTUC figures, they will be limited to 1 per person per liune wait. (except He-Ro, he is 6 per person).

We will also have a few DCU items from different brands (we will not have items that are not at retail yet) and we will have all the figure stands for sale.

ANTIMONITOR POINTS:

The AntiMonitor points can only be redeemed at the marketing booth, not the retail booth, at the center kiosk. You must bring ORIGINAL points, no photocopies will be accepted.

Each guest can get up to 1 free 3 3/4" figure per show. your badge will be stamped. For each additional 25 points (as well as for the first 50 points) you will get 1 raffle ticket. So 100 points gets 1 free figure and 4 tickets. Raffles will be held every day at 3:30 for the 30 inch antiMonitor. You do not need to be present to win, but you must claim your prize by the following day's raffle or it will be re-raffled off. If you want to buy additional AntiMonitors (3 3/4" scale) you may do so at the retail booth. But the point exchange for tickets and free figure is only at the marketing booth. Do not bring your Points to the retail booth as they will not be able to redeem them.

PANLES:

We will have two panels on Friday. At 11:00 is DC and Mattel, at 1:00 is Mattypalooza featuring Ghostbusters and MOTUC. New figures and lines revealed at the show will be in the booth shortly after the panels on display. But we will have some info and images at the panels only shown there. So it is well worth your time. (especially for the Q & A!)

SIGNINGS:

We will have signings from the Four Horsemen and Mattel design each day. Times will be posted each day at the booth.

FACEBOOK UPDATES

We will updates Facebook each night with the latest news and pics from the show for those fans not in attendance.

Okay! I think that covers all the major stuff. If anyone has further questions just post a comment to this note and I'll do my best to get back to everyone ASAP. Oh, and we will not be announcing any information about "how many new toys will be revealed" for any one line. You'll just have to come to the show to find out!
