Comic Con is always a supreme test of stamina and not for those who can't deal with crowds. Because Hooboy are there crowds and lines and more lines.

Wed night was preview night - 3 hours to check out the dealers room floor to see what big exhibits the studios were going to dazzle us with this year - to check out those deals early and see what possible promos there were. I snagged a number of photos, spent money on Hobbit jewelry and got a number of free books from haunting the book sellers isles. They had to kick me out when time came. :)

Warner Bros. re-designed their booth this year (it had been the same for several years). The front had a more 'studio' look with huge screens, while the back was all Hobbit - with huge 3D posters of the 12 dwarves, Galadriel, Gandalf, Gollum and Bilbo. Video of the posters To get a good look at the posters, take a look at the TORN vid. I tried to get pictures, but since they were moving 3D pictures, it was hard to actually make them look good in a still photo!

Weta's trolls - and they also had a huge amount of Hobbit props at their booth I was drooling over. They were on the corner of the booth, at the isle... across from the Walking Dead exhibit. It was a HUGE bottleneck - and almost impossible to get close and get a photo of the trolls without getting a lot of people. I never got a shot with me posing with the trolls :(
