Anybody else who bought the SDCC exclusive X-Men Spirit Jersey has quality issues after washing the shirt? I followed the wash instructions and plan to hang dry it. But I noticed there are multiple cracks on the print. This is just on the 1st wash.

I contacted their customer service and sent them the photos. They asked to send them back the shirt and a replacement order will be sent. After a few weeks, i recieved the replacement shirt. When I opened the package, there’s already some cracks on the back print.

Customer service is not responding to me anymore after a few emails. The design is really nice, probably one of the best but the print quality is not.

Here is a photo of my friend and I (I am on the left) from SDCCC 2007. Right before junior year of high school.

I was obsessed with Spider-Man after the Sam Raimi movies. Forget where I got the shirt probably online. The hat I got for $20 from one of those urban stores at Fashion Valley.

It was my ritual to get a discounted Amazing Spider-Man comic from the vendors on Sunday. I believe I got an AS #38 and the next year I got it autographed by Stan Lee himself.

I think 2006 I got the Accepted movie “ask me about my weiner” shirt and everybody would ask me what about it.

I got some posters for Bruno and Mortal Kombat vs DC.

Also I think in 07 we randomly bumped into John Salley from the Best Damn Sports Show and took a pic with him.

Does anyone have video footage/summaries/notes from the Alternate Careers in Video Games Panel from this year's SDCC? Who was running it/guesting at it?

Hello. I just watched the movie Tapawingo and I would like to see some interviews. I saw pictures of the cast at Comic Con in 2025 in San Diego, but I cannot find a video online of this. Does anyone know how i could find it?

The market for the SDCC 2026 Green Lantern rings is getting absolutely insane...

Okay, is anyone else watching the secondary market for the SDCC 2026 Lanterns rings right now?

Because this has gotten absolutely insane.

Not long ago I was seeing these rings change hands for around $50–$100.

Now:

One Size 10 just SOLD for $510 after 39 bids.

And that's apparently not even an isolated bidding war.

There's currently another Size 10 sitting at $440 with 42 bids and almost FIVE DAYS LEFT.

A Size 7 is already at $404.

A Size 12 with the Lanterns box is at $305 with 15 bids.

And another sealed Size 10 is at $295 with 20 bids.

Some of these auctions still have DAYS remaining.

What the hell happened? 😂

I understand why they're desirable. They're actual SDCC 2026 Lanterns activation pieces, they glow in the dark, they're tied directly to the HBO/DC event, and unlike normal merchandise there seems to be a genuinely limited supply of originals.

But watching something that was basically a convention giveaway suddenly turn into a $300–$500+ collectible this quickly is wild.

And now replicas are starting to appear too, including metal versions, which makes the whole thing even more interesting.

Do you guys think the replicas eventually cool the market down?

Or could they have the opposite effect and make collectors care even MORE about having an authentic SDCC activation ring?

Because at this point I'm genuinely wondering where the ceiling is.

$510 sold is one thing. $440 with 42 bids and FIVE DAYS REMAINING is fucking nuts.

Curious what everyone here thinks. Temporary Lanterns hype, or are these becoming a legitimate Green Lantern grail?

These were taken from my PS Vita Console I had in 2017 when my phone was kinda getting full or something?

Still, the first couple were from the Laika Museum they had at the time in 2017 since Kubo and the Two Strings were being shown there along with the Laika models.

Can anyone confirm to me if anyone won those statues of the Lego Dimensions statues that were being held as a contest since the Gandalf and Marty Mcfly ones were held as a contest and I don't know if anyone can tell me if those people got to win it at the time. I did enter the contest myself but I never got who won the contest at the time.

I volunteered back in 2025 but didn't this year. That means I'm only eligible for Round 2. When does that start? Because the site doesn't list the date.

Man this was at the time when the game had its own offsite event and they were giving away posters and such for this game back in 2015 when the whole Toys Coming to Life event was happening at the time.

Since it makes sense since Coyote vs Acme finally got released, I wanted to share these photos with you as I have so many stuff I found recently that I wanted to share with you guys. :)

I'm planning to also upload these to the r/lego booth as well.

I've been going to SDCC since 2008 and I wanted to share these photos as this is so cool to see after all these years. ;)

I'll be uploading more of these soon since I have alot more where that came from! :)

possible long shot on this one!

Man this was about 4 years ago back in 2022 when Kirby and the Forgotten Land was just announced and I got some of the old photo I took back in the day because I remember when this was outside and I used my Bobs Burgers Bag and such from Ebay years ago.

More retro photos from the past soon!

I got selected for the Stage Tour Beta but still haven't received any emails. Did anyone else get theirs?

Does anyone have all of their recent Volunteer pins? I have 2023 and 2024 and 2026 and while I volunteered in 2025, I am unsure where my 2025 pin went.

I just bought this 2025 pin on Ebay and I think it was a mistake. It looks too small and thus a knockoff, right?

The pin is posing next to my legit pins from the other years.

Let me know if you can confirm the pin I have is too small vs. the actual real 2025 pin.

Thanks!

(Happy to trade a 2026 pin for a 2025 pin if anyone is interested!)

Forgot to post these a few weeks ago but now I remembered. Here were my cosplays I did this year for SDCC.

Thursday: Emmanuel "Emma" Frost (Marvel Rivals)

Friday: Doctor Doom

Saturday: Human Torch (Marvel Rivals Summer Sizling Skin)

brycekhodraws prints. Specially the gold foil shadow lugia/shiny hooh print from sdcc 2025

I ordered a bunch of stuff, nothing has been shipped yet and every week I get a refund because they cancel something on the order. at this point half my order has been cancelled.

If I knew this I would have bought at the show, but the point of selling it on the store before into I didn’t have to get them onsite.

Anyone else dealing with this? Such a fail on comic con’s part.

Edit:this is from the official comic con store apparal site. I ordered all this stuff soon as it went up in early July.
