Post thoughts on sdcc attendees helping others
im not trying to be a whiny I FART A LOT about this, but i was just wondering how the things go down with people helping boardmembers on items. this is the situation that ive been playing out

members in line, buying up multiples of the fight figure or whatever, then the actual attendees who want one get there, and theyve all been bought up for members on the board that couldnt make it. im totally down with helping others out, but its like, what if someone gets into it with buying one damnedron for himself plus 4 others for friends? will there be a limit, or is it dog eat dog?

super7 limited purchases to 1 per person last year on the limited stuff, at least at first. the stuff secret base was selling at the toytokyo booth wasn't limited at all, though all of the non-customs were available for at least a couple of days.

First come first serve is the rule. But from my past exp. what I know is as follows...

1. When you see it Thursday and want it or make the mistake of 'sorta wanting it', buy it! It won't be there there Saturday morning when decided you really 'need' it. Also, most exclusives don't sell out as fast as most people think, but if you plan on showing up for one day, and that day is Saturday, you will be dissappointed at some time during the day, I promise.

2. Don't plan on getting items that are " the first 50 people who show up at 3pm Saturday..." assume you are always number 51 and you will have more fun. And if you get lucky, good for you.

3. Just because it says "Sold Out" of an item doesn't ALWAYS mean its sold out. Often toy companies/vendors can only bring so much and that person at the booth might know of the 10 left at the store or sold to another online shop. Its always nice to get you name on the e-mailing list, sure you didn't get the limited edition gold one but what about the secret online released green glow next month...

4. Overall its an event beyond discription.
Its supposed to be fun, there will be enough tme for issues and beefs when its all over but until then... happy hunting
