NYCC DAY 1: The War of the Collectibles….

Literally Jokerholics.

If you want something really bad, you have to be swift, and sneaky…at the same time be VERY patient.

First it started for me early.  Even though today all main attractions (and mostly I am talking about the exhibit show) started at 3 pm, I was there at 11 and the line was already building up.  It was fun to talk to other fans, but it was even more fun to see what boredom and anxiety makes some fans do.  Let’s just say we had a lot of fun in the waiting line.  Everyvody was a real trooper, and made the wait tolerable.

THE DOORS OPENED AT 2:45 and it’s a run to the booths for the so desirable collectibles.  My first stop was at the DC booth to get my copies of the NYCC Exclusive Batman 13 Die Cut cover.  While I just needed a few copies, for friends and family…I saw people buying hundreds of copies, literally.  For a moment I was concerned about the stock of covers, but DC was prepared for the contingency. Also got my wristband to have Scott Snyder sign my copies in the evening…

Then ran to the ZAPP booth to get my second target: A NYCC Bearbrick TDKR Joker figure.  Along with him, I found a NYCC exclusive Funko Pop! Marvel Wolverine Bobble-head brown costume that was just too cute to ignore.

With some time to spare, ran through some booths that I know always have some good stuff…and had to take some home:

1.  Some nice Joker and Harley Quinn magnets:

2.  A super cute LEGO Super Heroes Loki keychain:

3.  Two art prints of Joker and Harley (post pics tomorrow since the prints are too large to use my scancam app with it…)

4. Set of two Joseph Campbell sketcbooks signed:
