I probably spent more on stuff for other people than things that I wanted for myself. My wife and I both won the Hasbro lottery, so at the booth, we maxed out on Sith Troopers, Boba Fett, Vintage Hulk and Magic TG for friends. I got the Power Rangers scooter for myself just because I've never owned one. Maybe I'll bust out my teeth from trying to ride it and end up on Ridiculousness one day. I picked up the SDCC Godzilla exclusive for myself and a friend from the Bandai booth. After day 1, they were impossible to get! I think they only had 50 per day and they sold out at 9:30am every day!There was no line at the UCC Booth, so we grabbed a couple of Dragonball Z convention Funko Pops. We managed to get into the Funimation line because the guy working the line was really cool. We ended up getting the Chrome Vegeta for friends. I like oversized, rayon anime club shirts and a friend who has a booth at SDCC every year specializes in them, so I got a couple of Transformers Megatron shirts.Something that nobody mentioned- I picked up the Captain Marvel/Nick Fury money clip and the Agents of SHIELD wallet from the ABC booth, mostly for cosplaying.The only thing that I didn't get at SDCC that I wanted was the Ultraman Funko pop... to OPEN and add to my collection because I'm a fan. Before the con, they were going for around $200 (or some crazy inflated amount). When I asked people that won the Funko lottery, they got dollar signs in their eyes and wouldn't part with it. Now, since they've been released on Toy Tokyo as a shared exclusive, they go for $25-$30. HA! Robin, to the eBaymobile!
I spent $580 which is a new high for me. This thread was useful to get a feeling for what is typical spending at the con.
My credit card says I spent $1200 at SDCC this year, but that includes PN breakfast, Sunday dinner, a few convention center waters and pretzels. So probably more around $1k. Which is way more than I thought ahahahaha. Let me think of what I got:Toho Booth: Godzilla exclusive, 1962 SH Monsterarts Godzilla and 1974 SH Monsterarts MechagodzillaFunko: 2 Pops (Rat Fink and Mira)Mattel: Batman Hot WheelEntertainment Earth: 1 Funko Pop (Jim Henson)Mondo: 2 posters (Blade Runner 2049 and Jurassic Park)Fugitive Toys: 1 Tiny Ghost exclusive and a mystery boxMarvel: 1 t-shirtRandom Anime Booth: Snorlax figurineRandom booth: 1 Funko PopFactory Entertainment: Creature from the Black Lagoon bottle openerKotobukiya: Dark Phoenix statueDiamond: Lost in Space robot exclusive vinylOnline purchases of SDCC exclusives while at SDCC: Mondo Detective Pikachu poster, Toucan and Batman SDCC Funko Pops, Sabrina the Teenage Witch Funko PopI think that's all. Didn't seem like much at the time LOL
