Just looking to see how many people got mauled from the parachute drop that was a tanker. There had to be close to 700-800 people waiting to catch those things. Saw one kid and a lady get hip checked hard by a guy jumping over them to get one, and one CG got split in half when two adults were tug of warring each other for it. I was shocked that my four year old caught one in the air amidst the chaos. It was very entertaining to watch all the crazies. But sad to see all the crying children.

I highly miscalculated the parachute drop, and awaited on top of the parking garage, unfortunately the wind didn't carry any of them my direction, saw a few a-holes out on the roof top between the garage and building acting like fools, until hotel security busted them.

They allowed adults to participate in the drop?
Kinda sad for the kids if that's the case. I mean, I like Gi Joe toys and all but I wouldn't start trampling children to get one.

EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS. I can't believe they let adults keep what they caught. I can't believe adults who caught one wouldn't give it to a kid!

i'd like to buy one, incase anyone is looking to sell...
that being said, i would never have put myself before a kid. i thought these parachute drops were for kids? why did the event then not exclude grown adults from a marked off area?

Probably a few, and at ridiculous prices, as usual. Quote:
A good question. I thought that it was for kids only, yet you see video/pics of adults climbing trees and stuff, lol. This should be for the kids. Adults can buy exclusives. Sometimes people forget they are toys.

Hey, I would climb a tree/or something larger, but likely just to swat at them King Kong style, as I'm pretty sure that would be epic... and if someone paid for it, I would wear a gorilla suit as I do it.
