The Comic-Con Zoo continued yesterday... the G.I. Joe morning panel was tough to get into because people were going in early to save their seats for Transformers.
Was able to get a pass to HasbroToyShop for the "4:00 line." Got there at 3:50, as did a bunch of others that I was standing around, but they wouldn't let us get in any line yet. Then when they did create a line, they purposely changed up where the line would start just to be a-holes. We stayed behind the "End of Line" guy, saw some obnoxiousness from Comic-Con staff but eventually seemed to win them over, when this clearly PMSing Hasbro employee letting people in was really nasty and told them and us that we were "not in line," and again, changed where the "new line" started.
So basically, people who showed up an hour later than us got in. I think our group eventually made it in around 5:40. I'm thankful to have made it in, but that booth had no idea what to do about line and crowd management. The funny thing is, by having a "line waiting for the line," we weren't blocking any walkways or anything like that - it was only when they decided to change up where the line was a second time that it became a mess!
By the time we got up there, the B&W Captain Americas were gone but I was able to get an Invaders set and two Destro packs - one to open so I can make a Doctor Who figure out of it. Still, it was a lot more drama than it needed to be... I don't think Hasbro will learn.
