Many toy collectors with Preview Night passes presumably headed straight to the show floor to get their exclusive and limited items but there were several other attendees who have been waiting for the preview screenings since early afternoon, including Red Dot Diva and her bunch of friends.
Promptly at about 6pm, officials opened the doors for Ballroom 20 and ushered those in line inside the venue. As they were at the front of the line already, Diva's group managed to get really good seats right up front in third row, near the giant screen on stage. The ballroom quickly filled up and it was more than half full at one-point.
The announcement "Welcome to Comic-Con International!" was met by an excited round of applause. Comic-Con has officially begun!!
After a short intro by a rather cute WB representative, everyone could finally settle into their seats for the nearly 4-hour preview marathon.
Oh. Before reading on, here's the mandatory warning.
