This week with Ghostbusting.net, I come home from vacation, talk about a flea market, discover Bones, catch up with Deadpool, and watch a bad movie series called Trancers with Helen Hunt. Ok, so I don't actually watch it with her but she is in it!

At noon I will try to get my San Diego Comic Con Stay Puft and also try out for the New York City Comic Con!

Optimus Prime's Ticket.

According to our friends at Seibertron, Optimus Prime was ticketed by NYC PD for blocking traffic even though Hasbro had the proper permits to have Optimus Prime where he was supposed to be during Toy Fair.

Live Coverage From NYC Comic Con!!!

New York Comic Con Day 1

Nothing major to report so far. But then again, it is only Friday and I’m not really preparing myself for big interviews today. If anything, I’m more or less just focusing in on getting the quick scope of the layout and figure out where I want to be tomorrow (Saturday) so that the real Convolution can begin.

So far, I have managed to not spend too much scratch. I picked up a Spawn figure on impulse but there is something to be said about those old McFarlane sculpts since they blend in oh-so-well with most of the current toy lines. I snagged a MIB Viking Spawn for a $1 from the Fifth Series run so it’s circa 1996. I know at one point, I did manage to see a Frankenstein figure from the Wetworks that would make for another perfect random ghoul to the Matty Collector’s Ghostbusters line but I decided to exercise a bit more control. I was able to get a Sam Hain figure from The Extreme Ghostbusters line for only a couple dollars. To be honest, the Trendmasters figure is rather lacking; as Sam Hain does NOT resemble as that much like his cartoon rendition. I’m kind of sad but I always wanted this figure so I guess I’ll pay the piper because I went for it. I also picked up some of the random ghosts that my collection is lacking. After my touring of the floor, though, I’m convinced that my spending is definitely at an end.

The game plan for tomorrow is to do as many random fan interviews as possible. I’m going to attempt to collect as many free items as I can carry so I can give away from the site. But I don’t really feel like paying for shipping. Even on free junk. Oh well.

It’s about a half hour before my interview with Image about some comic book that I’m not too familiar with. Time to go do what Ghostheads do best…

Big Apple Con Recap!

Amazingly, we were press passed for this event so of course, we had to go to this event. And I'm glad I went.

The video, while short and choppy, does explain how great Big Apple Con is. The celebrities were in a smaller room than I expected and it was difficult to move around in; compared to the previous years but it was still nice to see people, like say, Kevin Nash (Pro-Wrestler/Actor) who portrayed Super Shredder.

Kevin Nash

The Friendly Michael Wilkins and his Astonishing Proton Pack

The only issue I had really encountered was the fact that when I was interviewing Michael, the background noise kind of reduced the quality of the interview. If I'm able to catch up with him at Comic Con next week, I'd like to ask him some more questions. Judging by how awesome his personality is, I'm sure I can easily get that secured.

I also want to thank Jerry Milani of Wizard Entertainment for his help in this event. I'm looking forward to the next Big Apple Con in May 2011 already.

Also, as a NJ resident, I cannot wait to find out what is going on with NJ Comic Con... HINT HINT! For the article, check here: http://www.ghostbusting.net/Ghostbusting.net/Events/Entries/2010/10/1_Going_TO_NYC_Comic_Con_2.html 

Teaser For Up Coming Project!

So this weekend, I'm going to NYC and going to be working on some possible upcoming projects. But we also are going to be starting the new relaunch with some other ideas. Just sit back and enjoy the show! 

Who's going to NYC Comic Con 2010?

Apparently we are! Well, at least me for the starters part. I've managed to secure ONE press pass for myself for going to the convention. I will be doing some interviews and handouts while I am there. We're going to be at least presented for a day. Perhaps two?

Stay tuned!

Kicking Off For New York Comic Con 2010

Just submitted the first part of the press pass information to see if we can get in. 

Here's to hoping things go well!
