Yeah, I was there (probably the last time I spent any signicant time at HT actually), and have a $40 TTT (ebay) Sarge to show for it. I just love the pic you posted (regardless of the caption)...

Last year really was handled awful. Like I mentioned, my buddy went, and he said that folks were walking away with multiples, meanwhile they were sold out of everything but the USA Sarge by the time he got up to line. The Hasbro goons there told him to check HTS on Monday, that they'd be online there, and then that never happened either.

I'm glad they're limiting the Zaranas, but who knows if that'll prevent people from going back. They need to stop vendors from buying them up then selling the damned things again at 5-10x the cost later in the day at their own booths.

That's good, to be honest. They apparently sold out waaaay early last year. Like Thursday morning, I think. (Although don't take that as fact, that's what I recall my buddy saying.)

I also hope that they produced more this year. Even if they have overstock left afterwards, I can't imagine Zarana selling fast on HTS.

Exactly, The vendors are what kills it. if there is a limit and a person wants to wait the 4 plus hours multiple times, so be it, he actually kind of earned the mark-up, but the vendors getting 100 than 5x upping the price on them to me is pure scalping. In my opinion, a con should be about the fans, pure enjoyment and a chance to get rarer stuff. Seems to me SDCC has allowed vendors to take the fun away. its no longer an event, just a swapmeat. just my take on it.

Thanks for letting me know where to find Zarana. It was no longer in my deleted bin because luck would have it my email cleaned it the night I unwittenly deleted it. lol. Oh shit, it just hit me. i clicked the link once. My browser history should have it. Yeah!

I've got one from eBay, and a buddy of mine is there who usually hooks me up (he got me a USA Sarge last year, and I got 2 TTTs from a friend of his...) so I'm hoping that I get at least 2 of the pinks. I'm not super-bothered if I don't get a CS Zarana, but I'd take one if the price was right... Here you go again, MW:


YES!!!!

Well, I'm gonna bug Eddie to call me at 6am PST if they show up on HTS, because that damned 9am EST shit is annoying as fuck for me. If it doesn't show up, I don't wanna be awake at 6am in the morning. Jackasses at Hasbro, throwing up exclusives before the whole country is properly awake...

so whats your plan for finding her with no link. Do you just put her name into their search and keep hitting refresh. thats what i planned on doing unless you have a better idea. or do you camp home page and hit refresh till something SDCC appears

right now I'm searching for SDCC and refreshing every now and then.

Pod casts are keeping me sane and I'm playing a lil Duke Nukem too :)
