This was our first year making it to preview night and it was certainly different. First the crowds, while still large were not as crazy as you see during the Thur-Sat rush. That makes it nice to experience some of the elaborate booths setup by the various networks. We took a few photos while on the floor and will take more as the weekend goes on.

Some booths to take note of: Starz Outlander, Legendary, Hunger Games, BBC America, Dark Horse, FUNimation and The Walking Dead. Outlander has an entire castle setup with cosplay staff who are dressed up as your favorite characters from the series. You can also walk through the castle, so be sure to hit that booth up.

Legendary has several trailers playing for upcoming films including Dracula Untold. Another great experience this weekend is a Pacific Rim Oculus Rift VR experience at the interactive zone outside Petco Park. There you can use this new deep dive VR system to become a Jaeger pilot just like in the film. Tickets will be distributed at the Legendary booth, #3920, daily at 9am, on a first-come first-served basis.

The Hunger Games is releasing a new custom SDCC exclusive poster for the new film and there are also Capital Guards in all their garb setup outside the booth for your photo shooting pleasure. Be sure to stop by and find your poster and get your photo taken.

BBC America is always a hit on preview night from Doctor Who to Orphan Black exclusives. This year some of those items include a Pandorica Yahtzee exclusive only available at Comic Con. They also have all the Funko Vinyl and tee shirts you could want for your favorite shows.

The Walking Dead booth is featuring the Terminus sign and building along with monitors which are teasing new footage for the upcoming season to be shown on the screens during the convention. Be sure to stop by and checkout the new footage before anyone else.

FUNimation is your one stop shop for anime in north america and their booth is full of limited editions, new releases and old classics. Be sure to stop by and grab your favorite series first before anyone else. There are also lanyards and other giveaways to be had.

The Falling Skies booth is up and you can be inside a Human Cocoon just like the upcoming episode of Falling Skies this Sunday. Be sure to stop by their booth between Halls G and H. Visit the booth and get your photo taken inside the cocoon and share it with the hashtag #HumanCocoon.
