Good - Amount of Thundercats stuff floating around. I was more excited about this than other lines, mostly because it's new and has potential to really take off. Seeing the logo and art all over the place, and various toys/statues coming down the pipe was cool.

Good - Exclusives. But not the ones everyone was super excited about. Got a skystriker and pink zarana, but only because I got lucky. Was prepared to not get anything there. Got no Matty stuff. But, I am excited for the other stuff I got - Figurarts Goku and Megaman, then past DBZ Figurarts to compliment. And TRU Lion O, and, 3 3/4ths Dexter figures!

Good - DC Reboot figures. Look great, and overall made me more comfortable with the new suits. If they are gonna look like that in non-art form, DC should be fine. Overall more excited for DC moving forward, may jump on with figs and books once the reboot gets going.

Good - Food outside the con center. Tons of great places, most were good.

Good - Play Arts Kai - Arkham City Batman and all Street Fighter figs - WANT.

Good - Having back home people to help. Joe and Shin, plus 2005 staff, helped A LOT!

Good - Having 3 people to cover the event. DeeFuzz and Destro rocked.

Bad - Only having 3 people to cover the event. Need 10.

Bad - LINES. FUCK LINES. HATE LINES.

Bad - WIFI/3g/4g signals EVERYWHERE. No excuse. FIX THAT SHIT. 250,000 extra NERDS in one place, and you don't think to boost your network a bit. And if you did, DO IT MORE. I hate every company that is involved with wifi or 3g/4g coverage at that place right now.

Bad - Free WIFI at my hotel. Works outside, but not inside. But inside sometimes, if you stand in the corner. F U FU F U!

Bad - Places to sit inside the convention center. FIX THAT ISH!

Bad - Server overloads and crap outs. This will be the end of me.


Overall - had a great time, somewhat happy with our coverage, and less physically beat than previous years. Looking forward to the downtime for major events tho.
