San Diego Comic Con 2017
Some excerpts provided by SDCC 2017 exclusives guide.
Author: Ariel Landrum
One of the best and worst parts about San Diego Comic-Con at trying to grab your favorite exclusives. Sometimes there are pre-sales online, only sold at the show, which involves hours of waiting in line, and sometimes elaborate rigmarole (we see you, Funko) that leads to lotteries and special tickets.
With only one week left until the pop culture extravaganza takes over downtown, People of Con created a list for this year’s exclusives. We focused on items we thought were of value (some are already listed on e-Bay), covering a variety of nerd passions and catering to some of our favored fandoms.
Note: Prices and the location to obtain items may change. We will continue to update as necessary.
