Has anyone heard anything about WotC releasing a MtG exclusive at San Diego Comic Con this year? Last year, there was a Planeswalker set released with a Nerf Garruk Battle Axe. I don't really care about the axe but I want the cards!
Unless I am mistaken that was the second year in a row they did the all black promos? Given the popularity I would not be surprised if that or some variation happens again.

I will always firmly stand by the belief that Magic is a game first and a collectable second.

You are correct. They have done it twice in a row.
Personally, I would be fine if they decided to be done with this promotion.

Along with many mods, I've moved shop over to MTGNexus. Come check us out!
God, I hope not. I don't really feel like chasing another one of these. I'd be more inclined to sell my other ones than to pay through the nose for one again.
I must be damaged somehow, because I love these things specifically because of the thrill of the hunt. Refreshing Hasbro's website every six seconds, wondering if this will be the time they appear...seriously, it's like crack for me.
The SDCC Promo this year will be an all-foil complete set of MM2015 sold for $5.
The first person in line will buy all of them and retire the next day.

Already got my four day pass. Can't wait to see what they have to offer this year!
I am also attending SDCC for 4 days. Teaming up with some friends to get this exclusive.
I was at Comic Con the past two years, but unfortunately only got back into Magic last Fall... Missed an opportunity for some sweet cards or some massive cash... Not going to make that mistake this year!
You have to buy them. The MSRP is 60 for a set of 5 the past 2 years or something but any individual card exceeds that on the secondary market generally so if you have the cash and a chance to buy at MSRP do so.

"Yawgmoth," Freyalise whispered as she set the bomb, "now you will pay for your treachery."
are they given out free as promotion or do u still need to buy those cards ?
From what I understand, you need to buy them. Last year my friend who went said that the line for these things was formed something like an entire day before they were available.
Last year, it was a giant box with six planeswalkers (Jace, Liliana, Chandra, Nissa, Ajani, Garruk) in the black foil special design. Box also had a giant foam Nerf Garruk axe. Price at the con was about $100, but ebay prices were going for $400-600, with individual cards spiking at or above $100 each.
I haven't been to SDCC since these have been available but the procedure in the past for Hasbro was that you stand in a line that starts on the preview night to get a ticket that tells you what day you can stand in the normal line. You just have to get there asap to get a better ticket. Desirable products like this usually are gone the first day or so.
Last year the SDCC Planewalker exclusive sold out on Friday. You have to get in line ridiculous early in order to even get a chance to get one.
It's not nearly as bad as some of the panels. For anything in ballroom 20 or hall H, you better be in line the afternoon before the day you want to be in.
For mtg, I don't have preview night, but a friend of mine does. He should be able to grab me one, and I'll try myself on Thursday.

Hall H is getting ridiculous and the two line issue last year was intense. My friends and I are taking shifts for Hall H. For B20, the longest I have had to wait is 2.5 hours for the X-Files 20th Anniversary panel and for Penny Dreadful last year. Gl, on getting the SDCC Mtg set this year! Considering the ebay spike, flippers will be buying them just to make a buck.
This actually is not true. The 2013 set sold out on Friday the first day, because they screwed up and didnt print enough. The 2014 set had a decent allocation, and my friend was able to grab them on sunday. The 2014 set is worth significantly less, last time i checked. I assume that if a similar set is released this year, it will have a similar or larger printing.
