You know what NEVER happened? Anyone actually doing it.
Easy to talk big on the internet. Lot harder to try to be "that guy" when surrounded by a crowd of people who are mostly genuinely enthusiastic and positive on the brand. Best case scenario you get out a stammering "Uh...could you make the Target Exclusive more available please?" To which they give you a "We'll look into that."
If this had been a "normal" panel at SDCC they would have been surrounded by cheering, adoring fans. Just like every other panel pretty much turns out.
PS: Generally not a good idea to threaten/imply assault on other people.
Way to read way too much into what I said. First off, I never said I would personally do anything. Even though when I attended the Hasbro panel at SDCC in 2009 I sat in the front row and did ask the reps then about the all black outfits from the movie and some other tough questions. Way to imply I am some coward and you don't even know me. Jerk. I am not afraid to ask toy company reps questions. Maybe you are. From what I could tell, I actually pissed off the Hasbro reps with my questions. Later then on the floor at the Hasbro booth, the reps that were on the panel then gave me dirty looks the whole time. I thought it was funny.
Secondly, I guess I have to explain myself better since my post went over your head. Ya, people are stupid in groups and mobs, but I cannot see anyone being happy even in a group if they announced they were doing more Target exclusives at a live convention. You really think a crowd would have applauded that? Did you see the comments light up and go nuts on YouTube when they announced that? Just about every single comment was, "NO MORE TARGET." I still don't think they would have gotten praise for that in person. Based on how pissed people are and those comments I was saying that they would get shit for it just the same in person. Maybe you're right, EVERYONE is a great big coward and will only say shit online and not in person. At this point, I think people are pissed enough to say something in person too. We will see next time they have a convention in person.
