I hate the exclusives too. Never gonna get the Wondertwins etc. Mattycollector can go to hell! Anyone that supports crap like this too

then matty collector feeds into it by taking the limited run toy and then "limiting" buyers to purchase 10 ...yeah none of those get listed right to ebay.

the plastic man was cool, not someone you see as an action figure often....was the Super Powers one the only one? would hav eliked to see more of the Retro Action line though

there are 3 different Batman the brave & the bold plas's so far

Given the seeming randomness, the ticketing, and what seemed like endless line-ups and waiting, I really think a person's time is better spent on other things. It's probably worth the extra money on ebay to NOT have to line-up for most of a day for each of the different items you want.

When I first got there last year, even the explanations of how the line-ups worked seemed designed to discourage you from wanting to get the exclusives. The moment I walked onto the floor and over to the booths, there were people telling me I had to go all the way back upstairs to some vaguely specified area to line-up and get a ticket and from there you're given a time when your even allowed to line-up and then you stand in the line some more. Given the crowds and all the wandering upstream and downstream up and around the aisles, that could be your entire day right there.

It's so Damn Lame what Con Exclusives Have Become on so many different levels. It should be just be 1st come 1st served for 1. for 2 there should obviously be a limit of only 1 per person .

What I always find interesting is just How many pre-sales for Con Exclusives go up on Ebay before the Con even started. People stating how they Garuntee a figure or whatever. ... most of these type of seller's have Alot more than 1 too. ....

Toy Companies have created complete Choas and Hostility outta something that was suppost to be Fun to own and collect. The Day and age of the Simple Mail away Ceral offer is over ..., It really upsets me that Collecting for Fun has only turned into everyone trying to make a Fast Buck.

Now they Got a Damn TV Show ...., that showcases the Exclusives that you have to pay out the Arse for .... Nice.

G4 will be showing new exclusives every night this week.

If you go to the show ..., there is no Garuntee that you get crap either.

I thought G4 was the highlight of the Kama-Sutra,lesson 37?

[rche]

OK, so the show has aired, but there was no audio comment on the Retro Action Ghostbusters. Just the pics flashed by.
Are we able to find out more about these guys yet?

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Thanks for the answer Sammy, and thanks for the link bjack.

[Meule]

Mattel sure makes some weird choices. Now they're unveiling their new products on a TV channel not everyone can get?
