theres a possibility im going. it is only a possibility. its a 7 hr drive each way for me. i got a couple local gijoe guys that have said theyd carpool in my chevy and split the gas. problem is getting the wife to let me go for a day and a half (figure going up the day before, spending the nite and heading back the next evening.
so if i go ill pick up as many as they allow. problem is im going to charge accordinly to compensate expenses. so as i know more ill let you all know.

i dont know yet, depending how many i can get. i figure i got to make up the 150+ in gas plus the night in the motel (we are figuring going up the day before and splitting a room between the 3 of us) in san diego is probobly another 150. we are all splitting it 3 ways. plus admission of i think its 20 bucks. so its going to depend. i could just put a few of them on ebay to make up the expenses and sell the others for a lot less. im sure there going to go high. the admission im not worrying about. its the gas and the hotel id like to get back. i dont know, what you think?

with as much hype as these are getting im not sure if id count on that :(

Blue, no offense...I see some of your points, but at the same time....if you go and purchase just one for yourself...do you think the figure is worth: admission, food, hotel, and gas? If so...that is one hell of an expensive figure.

I think that is how some of us are seeing what you are saying. I can see getting some extra for your troubles...but I know I for one am not willing to pay $50 for a figure I know you picked up for $9.99. Kind of see the point?

That would be like me saying...yes, I can get you the elusive wave 6 packs...yes, I am purchasing them at Ollies for 6.99 a pack, but I have to drive down there (gas), probably stop for lunch (food), plus my time (hourly wage)...so I would sell it for roughly $30.00 before shipping - Even though I was going there in the first place.

Guess the point I'm trying to get with my last post is....I thought this was a "hook-up" thread. You know...if someone is already going there...can you "hook" us up with one.

Last time I checked this was www.hisstank.com....not ebay.

Foolish mortal...you think people have a shred of honesty...everybody is out for a buck...(just kidding apac') Oh' well i'm hoping i see these figures on hasbrotoyshop.

thanks, but no thanks.

Well, what were you going to do with three of each figure anyway?
If you were going to sell one or two, then you know you would be making bank off of them, so paying a little extra for someone going through the trouble of going to San Diego (from where Blue and I are located in California, it would take about a day's drive to get there).
If you are indeed going to be hitting up the comic con this year Blue, let me know, and we can try to work something out bud.

[bluebikerboy1]

so far it looks good with me going. reason i am looking into the whole breaking even is if i pick the max up i only want one set for mysself. but if people are going to complain about marking it up to try to cover expenses then it will be cheaper for me to pay ebay prices then waste my gas and money driving down there. no offence to flash or apac but i think its crap that people give someone a hard time for trying to get some of there expenses back from an expensure. its going to cost me over 100 dollars out of my pocket to drive down there. i know i can get a set on ebay cheaper then that. so this is not a get rich quick scheme, its just me trying to figure if its even worth my time going down there to pick these up for other people (still most likely cheaper then ebay) then to just get a set for me on ebay. from the looks of things i probobly shouldnt have oppened my mouth about this cause now i got the board all pissed cause im trying to break even or as close as i can on expenses and im not willing to dump 100+ dollrs down the drain. this isnt like im just going to walmart (or ollies) and im out 5 bucks in gas. im looking at 100+ out of pocket on this trip.

No, it's not that Blue.
Your wording kinda came off very Clutch-like.
If you are actually going to SDCC, then picking up a few extras would probably be no problem, if they do not have a limit on what you can get.
As in the past, the exclusives there are usually one per customer, to keep stuff from selling out fast.
I don't see the problem with asking maybe a few bucks extra than what you paid for them, for your troubles, but when you start talking about wanting to have the trip pay for itself (expenses and all that), it just comes out a sounding a little odd.
I know what you are trying to say though, but if you are going to be driving all the way to SDCC just for the chance to get those two figures, maybe it would be cheaper to hold off and get them by other means, because after all, San Diego is on the other side of the world.
You should be going because it's a fun experience, and there's tons of cool things to check out at the SDCC.
And don't forgets, it's hotter there than the valley!
=P

Blue, as Dream stated...you worded as if the extra figures were basically paying for the trip. Like I said in my post before, if you are already going there...I don't see the need for the extra figures to pay the trip tab. I can see making some extra cash on the figures for your trouble...just can't see them being the way to finance the trip.

[bluebikerboy1]

is there a way to find out what the limit is?

[Dream]

Did anyone find out the answer to why flash wanted three of each?
