Movie TalkWe’re Bringing the Con to You with Comic-Con Exclusive Giveaways
If you can't make it to San Diego for Comic-Con 2013, worry not, cause we're bringing the Con to you!
Part of the fun of Comic-Con is that it promotes a nostalgic sense of childlike wonder. Mostly because you're surrounded by toys! (Or "collectibles" inspired by toys, if you prefer.) Whatever your pop culture pleasure happens to be, the convention floor is a veritable geek paradise.
In an effort to bring you to the convention floor, but without all those formidable lines, we're running Comic-Con exclusive giveaways from some of the premiere names at the convention: DC Comics, Hasbro, Legendary Pictures, LEGO, Mattel, and The Bridge Direct. Scroll down for a brief rundown of all the giveaways, or you can get the full details by clicking on each individual title, starting with our Giveaway of the Day: Hasbro!
If you have memories of a happy childhood, odds are good Hasbro had something to do with it.
And if you want to insure yourself of having a happy Comic-con, the Hasbro booth is a good place to start.
Besides having all the latest, greatest toys from all their hot properties – Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Jem and The Holograms, Transformers, My Little Pony, Nerf, and Marvel Universe among them – Hasbro is also bringing some of the most collectible exclusives around. Don't believe us? Check the eBay listings.
But you don't have to get ripped off on eBay or travel to San Diego to get a hold of these exclusive goods. Thanks to Hasbro, we're bringing the goods to you. All told, we've got NINE Comic-Con exclusives to dole out, three of each of the items below. Now that's happiness!
G.I. Joe Skystriker with Jetfire Deco and V.A.M.P. Autobot Hound Deco and 3.75-inch Snake Eyes & Baroness & Decepticon Bludgeon Speckial Edition Pack
The third and final installment of G.I. JOE meets the TRANSFORMERS 2013 SDCC special edition toys! The fan-favorite line goes out in grand style, with two iconic G.I. JOE vehicles—the SKYSTRIKER Jet and the V.A.M.P. Ground Transport—given AUTOBOT decos as the heroic JETFIRE and AUTOBOT HOUND! The set also comes with a 3.75-inch BARONESS action figure with a special edition RAVAGE robotic panther, a 3.75-inch SNAKE EYES figure with special edition AUTOBOT deco and a 3.75-inch figure based on DECEPTICON BLUDGEON.

Figures and vehicles do not convert. Following the convention, a limited number will be available on HasbroToyShop.com. Yo, Joe AND Roll Out!
'Star Wars' The Black Series 6-Inch Boba Fett Action Figure with Han Solo in Carbonite.
