Does any one else planning to go to NYCC want to get together with other Dromers? You know exchange digits.. Have some drinks, talk Turtles or what ever...

I don't drink, but I'll be around. People can PM me for number exchanges.

I'm officially not going now, I couldn't find a place to stay and just can not aford 150.00 a night right now.
The summer also would have been a much better time to have this sort of event.
I do hope everyone that goes has a blast and save a slice of pizza for me ;)

I live in NJ, so going to NY is just a simple train ride away. I'll be there.

Depends on when you guys go, I live in Jersey so it's easy for me to get there.

I want to go but I am having a hard time shelling out at least $150 a night for a hotel room that only I will be staying since my GF can't go because she has to work.

Does anyone know of cheaper and close hotel rates?

There are hostels in NYC although I can't guarantee any of them...

I can serve as point if people are interested. PM me with your phone number and first name... I already have Canadian Turtle..

I don't know what people are worried about with Hotels, we have found some of the CHEAPEST accommodations even in the Upper East side... Like nice stuff for less than 130 a night FOR TWO or MORE people! NOT per person.... its the off season.

Keep me in touch on where you guys are meeting. I have off this weekend so I might go.

so everything seems to be going down friday when no ones really able to make it...that's real smart...
They couldn't have all the tmnt stuff on saterday when the majority of the tmnt fans are gonna be there and people are off work.oi!:ohwell:
I guess I'll just have to get an f'n weekend pass then even though I can't go sunday it's a hell of allot cheaper.

There's a Mirage panel Friday night. It sounds like it's going to be rather content lite, though, so I dunno if it'd be worth it if that's the only thing you're going for. Of course, the Mirage guys should be at their table(s) the rest of the day/night.

Yeah that'd be one of the only reasons I'd go, I'm not even sure if there will be any exclusive toys at this show like they do at the san diego comicon, do you know Rose?

I'm sure there are companies that are having exclusive toys, but not any TMNT stuff (unless they're keeping them secret, which would just be stupid).

Yea wasn't talking about tmnt sorry, I'm interested in dc and marvel comics toys also. I've been collecting dc universe and marvel legends figures since there's been no tmnt figures for me to spend my extra cash on lol

There you go (http://www.nycomiccon.com/app/homepage.cfm?appname=100453&moduleID=2523&LinkID=29733)

Exclusives are always fun, I'm still mad I'm not going to NYCC OR SDCC this year.

NYCC isn't as bad from a goodies point of view, All I'm really missing is the I, Of the Wolf free copy from Neil (great guy), a few other free comics, the Mouseguard stuff and muradia magma.

And Colin Baker's Signing. I'm really going to regret missing him both there AND at Gallifrey One.

If anyone is going to SDCC however, pick up the Doctor who exclusives (http://toynewsi.com/index.php?itemid=14025) for me, will you? :D Those are the only exclusives I know about, and already I wants them. Big finish 6th doctor...good....

The SDCC exclusives weren't already announced, were they?

The Doctor Who/Torchwood stuff makes me doubly sad that I can't go to NYCC. :( I hope they deliver at SDCC again.

One of these years I'm gonna get to Gallifrey One, but it's not this year. Alas...

The SDCC Doctor who figures (http://toynewsi.com/index.php?itemid=14025) were announced by the people who got the British distribution rights: Forbidden planet. They will be primarily sold at SDCC though, and the link above shows the selection. Me? I want them all, though 2 of the 5 are of particular interest.

Sergio Aragonés will be at SDCC, :D but so far not many Who guests announced so far. :ohwell:

I'd love to get to Gallifrey one too, but my budget precludes it.

Oooh! I saw those pictures but didn't realize they were the SDCC exclusives. I'll definitely be getting One and Two. I'll probably pass on blue Six.

Most SDCC guests won't be announced until a month or so before the Con. I'm hopeful, seeing how they were able to bring such an impressive bunch last year.

Gallifrey One's within driving distance for me, but there's still the pesky issue of having no paid time off from work that makes it hard to afford stuff like that.

Funny, I wanted blue six most followed by one with dalek.
I figure doctors one and two will eventually get a solo release each, if a bit different, and the cyberman is a reprint anyway. So 1 and the new Dalek and Blue six would be my priorities. Esp since the BF audio sixth doctor is actually worth listening to, and usually has the blue outfit.

You wanting color or Black and White more on one and two?

Well, hopefully there'll be more people you like there.

Ah, been in that situation. it's no fun. I'm hoping to find someone that can pick me up a copy of Times Champion there and get it signed even though I'm not getting ot the con. Charity novels like it are hard to get after they go out of print...:x

Leaning towards color, but I'll probably spend the next six months debating the decision.
