Comic-Con exclusives are up

San Diego Comic Con may be known to mass media as the place where Hollywood goes to sell it’s latest tv shows and movies. But those of us that are regulars to SDCC know that the exclusives are where it’s at. The first rule to San Diego Comic Con exclusives is to pre-map out what you are interested in. At the SDCC website, they have started to accumulate a list of exclusives. The list will probably go, so you’ll want to check again before you leave for SDCC. With each post you’ll typically get a picture, a description of the item, the price and the run. It’s very important to look at the production run. This will determine how difficult it will be to get an item. While making your list, make sure to list the studio that way you can look the studio up and get the booth number.

Hasbro’s Clue gets a facelift

I have always felt that Clue was a bit timeless. Then again I grew up playing the game with various people and can even remember the movie. But sometimes even the best of board games needs a little bit of a makeover. Hasbro Inc, has updated Clue by including younger characters, more weapons, and added rooms to the house. The Professor has been axed, literally. Other characters are given more modern names such as Miss Scarlet is now Kasandra Scarlet, Mr. Green is now Jacob Green, Colonel Mustard is now Jack Mustard, and the professor is replaced by Victor Plum, a billionaire video game designer.
