hi,
i just wondered how to go about getting line at mattys booth for comic con?

do we need a ticket?

if so where do we get these tickets?

im going on friday for 1 day this year and plan on making this my priority so any help/instruction would be a great help

thanks

james

You have to pick up your tickets upstairs where you have to go first to pick up your badge. It's in the same hall area just look for signs that indicate what you are looking for. After you pick up your ticket you have to go downstairs and prepare to get in line to get your exclusives.

I'm going Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Good luck

Hi, please on this year San Diego Comic Con, please
do not give reservation purchase for next day toy exclusives, people
like me work and can only go one day, I now there is no guaranteed on
obtaining the exclusives and I understand that, but please do as other
years reserve exclusives for all days and first come first serve rule,
so all of us can have the same chance.

P.S. Last year I Made a 1Hr line upstairs before opening the convention to try to obtain the pass for the exclusives, (I was the first person on line) and after the waiting you guys told me that all the passes for that day
where given the day before..... please don't do it again, or at least tell us so we don't loose time making a good for nothing line.

Thank you

Not necessarily.

That's how Hasbro has done their line for years.

Mattel hasn't announced how they will be handling their line this year.

Last year they gave out Speed Passes after the line got out of hand downstairs. Mattel gave out passes at the end of the line downstairs and eventually they decided to hand out passes upstairs.


Nothing has been confirmed yet for this year.

Oh ok I wasen't in line for Mattel last year. I was two years ago for the Lobo figure and I had to pick up my ticket upstairs. Wow so I see it's gotten more hectic now. Hopefully soon they will announce how they will handle it this year.

The VIP line passes, aka Speed passes were great.

thanks Mattel

I'm sure the speed passes worked for some and not others. What I would like to know is what Mattel plans on doing IN ADVANCE so I don't have to run around trying to figure out where I need to be. The convention is already crazy with the amount of people there, so I don't need Mattel to add to the chaos by not announcing or changing their plan on the fly. I hope that we get some details soon since Preview Night is only 5 days away!

Same here Zodach:

What are Mattels plans for pre-line passes (if at all) this year?

Do we grab a place or get a ticket/ speedpass(s) upstairs first? then grab a place in line?

thanks

I would check the Sails Pavilion first thing in the morning. Southeast(?) corner. Hasbro has their fastpass line set up there in the morning, and last year, Mattel moved their fastpass line there for the latter half of the con, so there's a good chance they will be there again.

Chase..... are you going this year?

Last year I was in line on Wednesday Night, but as I finally got near the actual booth, they said they had to close down and handed everyone a pass to return the next day. Not sure if it will be the same this time. I hope they figure out a good way to do it.

Yea Fire marshal started complaining

So with first come, first serve won't Mattel have the same issue this year? How are they going to keep people from hovering around the booth and lining up if they aren't handing out fast passes? It would have been nice if they could have pre-sold more Orko and Plastic Man exclusives.

Most of the same people that pre-ordered would still go to the Mattel booth on Preview Night to buy more exclusives. I got my voucher but I'm still going to the Mattel booth to max out on items.

Mattel, any word on this yet? We are getting close to D day and us hard core Comic Con fans want to know how the lines are going to be handled this year!!! Tickets upstairs? Just get in line down stairs? Don't confuse us once again like you have several times in the past few years please!!!
