TENIME_art Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I got the last one at my B&N (thanks again to hailtotheking for the heads up!). Off topic, I really want that Game of Thrones Monopoly set, but not for $60, Jesus Christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Called ahead to see if they could hold a set for me. The guy said no since it's an exclusive. First come first serve. I asked if they had any left. He connected me to someone else who said they had four sets left. She also held a set for me when I told her I was on my way. Thanks, Mary! So if you're in the Wilkes-Barre area, there were three sets left as of 1PM. Good hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 PK13 & Shogi won this round. I will post again later and three more times tomorrow. I was guaranteed 12. If I end up with more, I will do more of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really into Gotham, but young Bruce Wayne is too cool to pass up. Hope they make Thomas and Martha at some point... preferably not battle damaged.

Captain Paco Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I got two Gotham two-packs today. I bought one and my buddy got me one. My buddy wanted to surprise me because he has seen my Gotham customs in my office. The B&N in Blo/No, IL. Is now out of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roccothegreat Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Wait you can find the Gotham pack at any Barnes and noble? Or just in the sdcc area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I found mine in PA so, yeah, they're elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toy showdown Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 You can buy/reserve for in-store pickup on the website. Probably the fastest way to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yeah, it's nutty how national retail chains are selling Comic-Con "exclusives" around the country now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I'm perfectly fine with it, because unless I win the lottery, get a 200% raise at work, or someone really generous pays my way & stay, I am likely never going to be able to go to SDCC.

BCDX97 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yeah, it's nutty how national retail chains are selling Comic-Con "exclusives" around the country now. I think the weirdest thing is that they are selling at retail places the very same time that SDCC is going on. It would be one thing to sell the leftover stuff afterwards, but how can they be SDCC exclusives if they never even made their way to the SDCC? But it's still much better for them to be figures we can actually buy and not stuff that sells out and is just scalped to high heaven. I would rather there be no exclusives at all if they are just a pain in the ass to buy. How does it benefit me as a fan of cool stuff if it just gets snatched up by some greedy little troll?

MisterPL Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It seems retailers are blurring the line between RETAIL exclusives and CONVENTION exclusives. As I was shopping over the weekend I saw a couple sales that used SDCC as an excuse to drive sales. They're selling geek-friendly merchandise but the stores have no connection to SDCC at all. Barnes & Noble is celebrating pop culture all month, I believe, so their exclusives aren't for the con, they're for the retailer and tying into the con. Talk about splitting hairs but I'm happy to easily get my set either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Honestly, MOST of the SDCC exclusives at SDCC are labelled "insert company/store name here" exclusive premiering/available first at SDCC. I'm not sure there are too many actual SDCC exclusives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailtotheking Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The only sdcc exclusives I have ever had trouble with was hasbro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toy showdown Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 "Convention products will be live on HasbroToyShop.com on July 28, 2015." Which probably means any five or six minutes of the 28th that I can't be on my computer or phone. I know I'm not getting that Doctor Strange ML set because I'll go to wash my face and it will go live and sell out in 30 seconds. So I gladly welcome any convention exclusive that isn't over-produced but doesn't become a fan vs. fan competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 You want the truly SDCC exclusive stuff look to Lego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
