So I attended Wizard World Bay Area on a press pass this evening. I submitted for it on a lark, then forgot about it until one of my Kung Fu brothers asked if I was going because he was going to take his son. I figured my press app was declined but I reached out anyway and WW said I had been approved a month ago but somehow that email never got to me.
Anyway, WW is tiny, just one room of the Oakland Convention Center and not even the biggest one. I reconned the whole floor in under an hour. There wasn't much for me, nothing I hadn't seen, and no baby Yoda so not even edgy. McThor, the bastard hybrid of Thor and Ronald McDonald, had a booth. Really?
The Dragon Song Forge rep was there and he had all of the official GoT replicas, boxed on the top of his display. He offered to show them to me but I wasn't that interested. Needle goes for like $450. Daaaaaaammmn. Most were around $200 which seemed about right. One was $1050 but I can't remember which one now. Honestly I was more interested in his katanas, which are really nice and way out of my price range.
