Looks like it was a great Comic Con.  One of these days I might convince my dad to go to one.  I wouldn't mind paying for tickets, plus gas for the driving.

The Mandalorian Mercs are going to be taking part in two charity events at C4. One will be a "shoot" a Mandalorian game where one can pay a dollar and take a few shots at a Mando with a nerf gun.

For the other the Mandalorians will be taking bounties at the Con with all the procedes going to charity. So if you want to pay to have your buddy "locked" up for a bit nows your chance.

Participation is of course voluntary. :D
