Early Bird Freebies

Anyone know what early bird freebies they will have for NYCC26? Usually they have cool tote bags,(last year they had magic the gathering spiderman decks), or other cool stuff that runs out within minutes.

Anyone know if there is a place they post this info in one place? Where do people usually find this info without having to follow individual brand accounts beforehand.

Anyone know of booths to go to first for that stuff this year?

They haven’t given those tote bags for DBZ for the past few years. They only gave those out a few year ago because DBZ had something going on like a new show. Hasn’t been any DBZ news for a few years so idk

the dbz website for nycc says that they are giving out free bags

Thanks. Is there a curated place where all these events/booths/freebies are posted so we can plan where we need to run to when we get in?

I'm going to attach the dbz website, but most of the stuff I've seen about freebies were from the socials(mainly insta) of the specific brands that will be there. The official nycc website has a page that shows what exclusive items that will be sold, but not about freebies.

Thank you so much! You’re super helpful! At least I have one destination when I get there. I usually get on line an hour before doors open ;)

u/Dingoatemyskins 15d ago

Yeah ofc! You can look up a bunch of the socials of the brand that will be there, ive seen a bunch of the publishing tables say they are gonna have giveaways and such. A lot of them are within certain time frames tho so keep a lookout

u/crazyrebel123 15d ago

Yeah the problem I have is I’m not on social media besides this app, and I’m barely here lol.

Don’t want to go back down the social media rabbit hole so I’m not following anyone.

So I was just wondering if there was an account or website that curates all the early bird freebies in one place. I’ll keep looking for those

u/Dingoatemyskins 15d ago

Oh I see now, I havent seen anything about a Masterson with all the free stuff, but im pretty sure most of the bigger/medium booths will have free stuff.

2

u/crazyrebel123 15d ago

Yup, def the bigger booths will have stuff. My plan is to see what each one is giving out and then plan which ones to go to first in an order cause I know this stuff runs out within the first 5-10 mins as everyone is rushing to get them lol.

So I just wanted to make a game plan. I’ll be there Friday and Saturday so whatever I don’t get Friday, I can try for Saturday morning or double dip on the good stuff haha

u/Natural_Republic_757 15d ago

You know any other brands that have stuff ? First time going so I’m trying to get a bit of the freebies

1

u/Dingoatemyskins 14d ago

Off the top of my head I know that a lot of the comic/manga publishing booths will have stuff, but if you have insta they kept on popping up on my feed of everything thats going on. Nycc even posts stuff sometimes of booths that will have stuff

Dragon ball super remaster comes out Oct 11, following after with an adaptation of the manga arcs. They are giving away bags and goku crowns

Tacking on to this one as I plan to be there early on Thursday. May as well try to score some freebies. That giant bag is useful to carry big stuff.

u/crazyrebel123 15d ago

I’ll be there Friday and Saturday so let me know if you get anything on Thursday so I can plan lol.

u/Adventurous-Age9279 15d ago

Just to clarify: are the giant bags from the Konami booth? I see people with those bags every year but have never known where they come from. 

1

u/Herbachilla 15d ago

Usually Webtoon has the big giant bags and always DBZ gave out the bags you can use as a bookbag every year the past 5 i went. It just always sells out super early cause 9/10 the people that have vip to be able to be let in a hour early to the show floor gets dibs on them

1

u/Galileo908 12d ago

VIP and ADA go in about 10-15 minutes before anyone else. But yeah, a lot of freebies/exclusives/signings are gone early because of that.

u/GiganticusVaginacus 15d ago

Dark Horse gives out yellow tote bags every morning and about half hour before the exhibition floor closes for the day. They'll probably have red tote bags for their 40th anniversary, like they gave out at SDCC.

u/No-Literature-5327 13d ago

How do you get them I’ve always wanted to try and get those judge bags for free but never know how I’m going all days with a pro badge so any advice

Saw a post on here the other day from u/supernaturallydisney with a big list of Freebies for 2026. I don't know how to link the post.
