\"\"<\/a>There is just one week until Comic Con 2012 starts with Preview Night on Wednesday, July 11. But aside from the TORn panel and WB\u2019s panel for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, you may be wondering what else there is for a Hobbit fan to do. The Official SDCC website has put up schedules for panels, autograph sessions, films and portfolio reviews (aspiring artists, please take note). So here is your handy, dandy TORn guide to all things Hobbit and Lord of the Rings related at comic con this year (after the break)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There are no panels on Preview night, so this is the perfect time to explore the exhibit hall and visit all the vendors that will have LOTR and Hobbit related products. Here is a still growing list of booths to visit, including the booths that we will be sharing space with:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Badali Jewelry – #530\/532 (and one home of TORn during SDCC)<\/p>\n

Sideshow Collectibles – #1929<\/p>\n

Warner Bros. – #4545<\/p>\n

WETA – #3513B (second home to TORn)<\/p>\n

Donato Arts – #4503<\/p>\n

Gentle Giant – #3513<\/p>\n

LEGO – #2829<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Make sure to stop by and visit the TORn staff at both booth locations to purchase shirts and buttons, and have the chance to play any number of LOTR themed games. You will also\u00a0 be able to get more information about TORn\u2019s Hobbit Premiere Tour in November. And starting on Thursday the WB is going to have a full on fan experience located outside the convention center between Hall H and the Hilton Bayfront Hotel. Included in that experience will be some LOTR events such as video game play of Guardians of Middle-earth and LEGO the Lord of the rings: 3D Street Art. You will find all the details at http:\/\/comiccon.thewb.com<\/a>\/<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THURSDAY:<\/p>\n

Please accept our invitation to join TheOneRing.net in one of the convention\u2019s opening panels. We will be in room \"\"<\/a>6DE starting at 10:15am, please pay attention to the convention center\u2019s instructions on the proper entrances and exits for the panel room. Remember to wear your Tolkien themed costumes, we will be having a Cosplay meetup directly after the panel, out on the Terrace behind the Sails Pavilion. Later in the afternoon you will be able to choose from seeing Elijah Wood on the Wilfred panel, at 4pm in the Indigo Ballroom at the Hilton Bayfront, or of seeing Karl Urban moderate the Masters of the Web presentation at 4:30pm in room 24ABC.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FRIDAY:<\/p>\n

This will be a fairly light day for Tolkien programming, but you can see a few LOTR cast members today. First up will be Sean Astin at 10:15am in room 6BCF for the Go Green: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles presentation. You can then have fun the rest of the day, enjoying the WB event outside, or wandering the exhibit hall, and then end your day with John Noble. At 7:15pm in room 6A, you can see a \"\"<\/a>presentation for Dark Matters: Twisted but True, a show on the Science channel hosted by John Noble.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SATURDAY:<\/p>\n

With the WB panel in Hall H in the afternoon, it is expected that some of you may line up, maybe even as early as Friday night. In that instance, TORn will be there to help you out. Maybe not the whole night, but don\u2019t be surprised if we pop up from time to time to host a game or two, give out some goodies, and basically, turn the Line into a Line Party. If you feel like taking a break from waiting to get into Hall H, you can find John Noble signing autographs for an hour, starting at 1:30pm out under the Sails Pavilion at table AA19. But please do make sure you are inside Hall H by no later than 2:30pm for the WB panel. The schedule listing promises looks at Pacific Rim, directed by Guillermo Del Toro, a quick look at Man of Steel, and a presentation for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey with Peter Jackson and numerous cast on hand.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SUNDAY:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The last item where you can find a LOTR connection is the Fringe Panel, starring John Noble, running at 10am in Hall H. After this, treat yourself to a complete run through the exhibit hall to ensure you have not missed any collectibles, games and fun before heading home. TheOneRing.net will be there till the very end, so please stop by, as often as you wish. Mae Govannon.<\/p>\n
