    Scalpers and SDCC

    wow ...

    Anyone Else think the Scalpers opened an Extra Can of Greed this Year on Ebay with the SDCC Exclusives ? .... People seem to be paying too. I mean, Just how much was a Webberlla or a 6inch Boba Fett Black Figure ? ... Holy Crap Man. It really sorta makes Me Sick somewhat.

    How much are the going for? As much as it costs to go to ComicCon and to give up having fun at the show to stand in line, I'd want to make a chunk of change off that stuff, unless I was picking it up for a friend. I'd want at least three times the cost of the item. Maybe four.

        I totally agree with the comment's here...I had a fellow pick me up THE INDY SET 2 year's ago....had no idea how big the set was and was glad not to ask for change in return...he was gladly tipped!..
        I wish I had the chance to go ,but my budget will never allow it ...I should of checked Ebutt much earlier and did a pre-sale on the BOBA FETT!
        However with that said there are no guarantee's to get one of these COoL figure's once the con start's...PLUS it does not help when HASBUTT announce's only one figure per buyer ..yes this hopefully cuts down on SCALPERS ,but we all know it happen's...I paid big bucks for my BOBA FETT but atleast I have one ...
        Considering CANADIAN RETAIL will be selling the regular issue's @ $24.99 , paying higher for the FETT and having other's do all the labour ..i really have no trouble paying extra...

        ...thanks for posting the topic..

        if it AIN'T a toy..I DON'T WANT IT !!!

          A while back I wanted the Ghostbusters Marshmallow Man bank from SDCC. I think that was 2010 too. I just wasn't willing to pay the aftermarket prices, so I didn't get it. The next year I was at the NYCC and noticed they were doing a glow in the dark version. I decided to get it. While I was checking out, I mentioned to the guy, I really wanted the white one from the SDCC. He says hold on, and goes in the back and comes out with the SDCC white version. He told me there were tons of them left and they were instructed to put them out if they ran out of the glow versions. And that's why I only pay top dollar for toys that can't be exactly reproduced. Now that same piece sits in TRU, while not in the SDCC package, it is the same exact piece. There's also an angry head version, that I will look for when I fill this one up.
          It's not a doll it's an action figure.

            I would have liked the Thunderbolts set and the Hallmark Man Of Steel ornament but I live without them.

              I wouldn't worry too much about the Boba Fett. The very same Boba figure is going to be released on a single card in in the 6 inch line in series 2 and it also sounds like the Han Carbonite accessory is going to be made available again in the future too. So the only thing you are really missing out on is the box if you can't get the Comic Con version.

              July 22, 2013: While photographing the Hasbro display at San Diego Comic-Con this past Saturday, I overheard Derryl DePriest say to someone that the Carbonite block, which is part of the exclusive Black Series 6-Inch Boba Fett Action Figure With Han Solo In Carbonite Accessory 2-pack, would be available in another form down the road. Meaning, the extremely high prices that many collectors are spending right now to obtain one is just for the packaging. Hopefully this information will be of some use to you!
              You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                I really wanted to get the Signature series Shazam, but I'm seeing these for 50 plus on ebay. No thanks. I don't need it that bad. I originally thought it was going to be offered on mattycollector in august, but I might be wrong. It shows it being sold out.
                I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                  I forgot about the Shazam figure did they sell out on the Man Of Steel Superman and Zod set too?

                    50 BUCKS for a Signature Series DCU Classic is really only about a 12dollar mark up for me ...
                    These things, if I only buy 1... Are like 38.50 shipped for me... after tax, shipping with Washington Sales Tax.

                    Now 200 Bucks for a 6 inch Fett & Carbonite Han .... Come on Man ....
                    ... In Hind Site, ... if I was working ..., it might be considered.

                      I really wanted to get the taco truck Deadpool exclusive for my son's birthday but can't swing 100 + for it. Hopefully one might just pop up.
