Retailers Score Wealth of Cool Swag at 2009 Summit
At the Summit, attendees were rewarded with some great giveaways and awesome door prizes, donated by the numerous sponsoring suppliers and exhibitors of the Summit.
In addition, Diamond & Alliance Game Distributors provided storeowners who attended the Summit a "Thank You Pack" of over $160 in free merchandise!
Coupled with more than eight exclusive comics from top suppliers like Dark Horse, DC, Image, Marvel & IDW; a DST Star Wars: Darth Maul UQS AF giveaway; a HeroClix: Hammer of Thor - Thor's Mighty Chariot from WizKids/NECA; and much, much more, the free merchandise included in the "Thank You Pack" should help retailers pay for their trip to Baltimore.
