    Man, still nothing, huh? All ready for work and about to head out the door. Not sure if I'll be back tomorrow. Gotta work early. Good luck to those of you who stick with it. I hope you all get what you want. After four days of this Hell, you deserve it.

    With all these e-bay sellers it wouldn't be surprising if a bunch did "fall off the back of a truck". With exclusives like these, why wouldn't they?

    LOL. It seems like he is actually complaining that Hasbro sets some stock aside for fans/scalpers who can't attend SDCC, which is, you know, like 99% of the fanbase. How dare they.

    And yet somebody else in this thread was saying Saturday night there was no line at all, the reps were just standing around. So which is it?

    Did these sets sell well at the show, or not?

    They weren't exactly flying off the shelves either. Most ppl were going after the Magic set, Infinity Gauntlet, and Jabba. When those three sold out for the day on Saturday people were coming up to our booth and handing us their tickets because they didn't want anything. Even the workers there had mentioned that both the Dinobots and Knights set were slowest sellers for the show. The surprise hit was the Kre-o set, which they didn't anticipate to sell out.

    He's legit. Many people here ordered off of him last year (myself included). I have no idea how he gets the quantity he does, though. It's insane. His price on Dinobots is exactly in line with most recent completed auctions. That's about all they go for.

    The only thing I don't get is why he does each as a single auction instead of listing 10 at once, but I assume he does that because he doesn't want people to know how many he has. But his completed auctions tell you that much info.

    At the prices for the Dinobots and Knights, I can kind of see why they were slower sellers, as I like them, I think they look cool, but I can not bring myself to drop almost $400 on 2 sets like that.

    It's so you don't know if it's the last one or not. This is usually done when they are auctions, not BIN listings though...can't account for that one.

    No. He's just a re-seller. Or, dealer. Some might use another term, but I'll leave that to them.

    Just got home from work and see they still haven't listed anything.


    I'm sooooo glad I didn't take my vacation time this week like I did the past couple of years, I'd be pissed right now.
