Take a trip to the LEGO Store at Rockefeller Center this morning to see how the promotion goes to get Krang's exclusive minifig as long as you are disguised as a Ninja Turtle. 

At first glance, there are many children in costume, accompanied by their parents, who get one of the 300 minifigs distributed today. Few adults, some however came with a green t-shirt and headband, and it's not the crush. The staff play the game and distribute the minifigs to the children happy to walk around in disguise on this cold morning. 

It is still very pleasant to see that the priority beneficiaries of this promotion are indeed those for whom it is intended: The child fans of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles who follow the cartoon and who seemed for the most part very enthusiastic in their disguise.

En route for the third day of Comic Con, with today a record attendance expected.

To clarify, I didn't bother to make myself up like a turtle. Too bad for the minifigure. If the theme had been superheroes or Star Wars, I think I probably would have made an effort ... 

Fortunately there are still some AFOLs present at this Comic Con 2012: I LUG NY presents several very nice dioramas in the "fanzone" of the convention, ie in the basement of the center hosting the event and which brings together the fan presentations and the dedicated space for buying autographs from celebrities who need to pay their bills.

Thanks to Bill Murphy aka murphquake for having devoted a little time to me and congratulations to these AFOLs for their work, of which I offer you a few pictures that I took quickly this morning below. Other photos will certainly be available quickly on flickr, in particular in Bill Murphy's gallery.

Presentation today of the two sets of the The Hobbit range that I told you about yesterday.

Surprisingly, not the big madness around the showcase in question, I think that visitors are rather waiting for the sets from the DC Universe and Marvel range which will be presented during the weekend.

It is no coincidence that Saturday and Sunday will be the two days when the crowd will reach its maximum, notably with a more family-oriented audience than that of these first two days.They will be served ...

Back to New York Comic Con this morning before opening, time to access the LEGO stand, no more tickets, no more queues: The 250 boxes of the exclusive LEGO Star Wars set planned for the day were sold in 10 minutes.

Hard to believe, although I think LEGO is playing the game. What is certain is that New York Comic Con is full of professionals queuing up for exclusive products and resale specialties on eBay. In the queue yesterday, I didn't get the impression I saw AFOLs, but guys with arms laden with derivatives who come only to fuel their small businesses.

Ultimately, New York Comic Con boils down to a few hundred cosplayers (with more or less successful costumes for that matter) and the rest is made up of guys running around to grab the most wanted goods, visitors approach. to buy them back their finds at a low price and cram it all into huge bags that they drag with difficulty from one stand to another. 

Finally, Lou Ferrigno (The Hulk of the 80s) was asking $ 30 to scribble his name on a piece of paper. No comments.

The good joke of the day arrived by email: To be able to hope to obtain the second exclusive minifig of the TMNT range tomorrow Saturday at the LEGO Store in Rockefeller Center, you will have to be part of the first 300 (It's playable) but also be disguised as Ninja Turtle (do not push either) ...

I have already overlooked the Dark Turtle by seeing the number of tickets distributed and by evaluating the close to nothing chances of winning. I also gave all my tickets at the show to those who still believed in it ... 

I'll take a trip to the LEGO Store tomorrow to see how many people have invested in a Ninja Turtle costume to queue for several hours in front of the store, hoping to recoup their investment by spinning on eBay to resell the minifigure in question. ..
