Hey everyone!

With San Diego Comic-con starting next week, we’d like to kick off the weekend with a sneak peek at what our community team will be giving out at the show! Just like at NYCC, we’re bringing along some special swag from the SEGA office – and we’ll be awarding it to only the most hardcore of SEGA fans!

SDCC Cosplay Prizes

• Cosplay any SEGA character and get a free “GAMER” T-shirt! (Limited to the first two-hundred and fifty)

• Cosplay Valkyria Chronicles and you can choose between:
  • 1: A limited edition Valkyria Chronicles Art Book. (Limited to the first seven)
  • 2: A rare Valkyria Chronicles Series 1 figurine. (Limited to the first five)

• Cosplay Phantasy Star and you’ll  go home with an Inflatable Phantasy Star Zero Rappy, as well as a Phantasy Star Zero or Phantasy Star Universe figurine! (Figurines limited to first three, Rappies are unlimited)

• Cosplay Bayonetta on Friday, July 24th, and swing by the SEGA booth for an exclusive ticket to hang out with PlatinumGames at a private Bayonetta event that night! You’ll need to be over 21 to join. (Tickets are very limited)

Phantasy Star Trivia

In celebration of Phantasy Star Zero getting closer to its western launch, we’ll be giving away additional merchandise – even if you can’t make it in costume! The figurines above will only be going out to PS cosplayers, but we’ll be giving away Inflatable Rappy armbands to anyone who can answer the following two questions:

* In Phantasy Star Online, one quest involves a pair of twins and a battle against the organization Black Paper. What are the names of these two twins?
* In Phantasy Star Zero, what is the name of the teenage Newman girl who accompanies you through the game?

FAQs

Q: Yay free stuff! When I can meet you guys at the booth to get some of it?

A: We’ll be posting a full schedule of Meet and Greet times early next week! Our team will be all over the show floor getting pictures, blogging, and tweeting away, and we’ll return to the SEGA Booth at designated times each day to meet you guys and give out the goods.

Q: Let’s say I cosplay Rosie from Valkyria Chronicles. Do I get both my choice of the Valkyria prizes and also the “GAMER” T-shirt?

A: Yes you do! The Valkyria and Phantasy Star prizes are a bonus on top of the “GAMER” T-shirt, which will go out to any and all SEGA-themed cosplayers. That said, if you are cosplaying Rosie, just leave the Darcsen hating at the door.

Q: If I put on a pair of glasses and lipstick, does that qualify as a good enough Bayonetta Cosplay to visit the Platinum Games event?

A: If you really want to visit the event, make sure to put as much effort as possible into your costume – only the best will be getting the tickets!

Q: Hey, I see a MADWORLD Wii Decal and stickers! How do I get those?

A: The MADWORLD Wii Decal will go out to the first person who finds us at the show and mentions this blog entry! The second and third people to do so will also get MADWORLD stickers – perfect for attaching to your mother’s favorite kitchenware! Please note that you will need to be 17+ years old to pick up the MADWORLD merch, since the game is rated M.

Hooray for Valkyria Figurines!

The full Meet and Greet schedule will be coming early next week before the show starts. Are any of you readers going to visit us dressed in SEGA attire?

Until next week – we’ll see you guys at SDCC!
