After watching this video, I am thankful that I didn't go to SDCC to try and buy the toys in person:

o.k. I want to know who the old woman, guy with the plugs, the guy with the golf hat that was also complaining and the guy with glasses next to them.. I see them at every Joe con.. and see them get hordes or items each time. always have Golden Tickets and get several box sets.. several back sets.. and several of the other exclusives.. This year i saw the old woman go to Becky Savage with a kid.. the kid got a TTT Slaughter from the auction without bidding and the guy with the plugs was right there with him.. This is the same group of people i see all the time together.. apparently they go to SDCC as well. Must be nice to have that much money.

That video is painful to watch, not because I necessarily empathize with anyone in it, but just because its an illustration of what SDCC has become. It's just giant line after giant line. Unless you want to go to some pointless panel discussion on an arcane social aspect to comic collecting, it seems everyone spends the entire con waiting in lines.
I've heard some people argue that only the people who physically attend the con should get the exclusives because they went to the trouble and expense of traveling there, and I buy that line of reasoning. But why do it at all? The cost of attending is probably greater than how much it'd cost to buy the exclusives on ebay, unless you live in San Diego. And attending certainly doesn't look like a fun experience. I went a couple of times(96 and 97) and it was torturously crowded *THEN*. I can't imagine what it's like now.

Other than the secondary market (eBay and the like), this is what I think.
