That's certainly true and I'm SURE that happens at SDCC...but unfortunately that's hard to prevent from happening.

People's badges are usually stamped with individual stamps for that day as well so people can't just get back in line constantly simply because they're there that day, but people aren't blocked from getting in line each day as long as they get their badge stamp/ticket or whatever, so that's another way around things.

A little different than someone walking away with $21K in Junkions at one time though.

oh, i absolutely agree... walking away with 210 sets is ridiculous for any one person to do, dealer or not... I think a limit of 10 or 20 per hour or something should be imposed for Saturday, then anything on sunday can be first come, first serve. that'll probably still allow for a sell out at the show, as well as allow fans that are at the con to get the toys while at the con.

For shame! I get mentioned twice in this podcast, and no one knows my name!

Never truly saw how hilarious the twist-tie headband joke was until I got a twist-tie to try it. It just takes a few seconds to bend it into the Botcon headband shape.
