Last year when I picked up my registration materials at Comic Con, they graced me with a Warner Brothers commemorative bag freshly pulled out of a new box. The Vampire Diaries. While I felt pleased with what I was given (I had see a lot of “Clash of The Titans” around), I wasn’t prepared for the constant stalking and eyes of scheming by those determined to snag this highly sought after bag from my possession. Needless to say, I tucked it away and now my daughter has it. If there were Supernatural bags last year, I easily would have traded!
Well, things just got easier for me. There are Supernatural bags this year! And Vampire Diaries. And a couple of my favorite shows and number one on my son’s wish list, LEGO Harry Potter. Why don’t I let the press release share the details. Let the swapping begin!
