Usually the big vendors like this will allocate a certain amount of figures for each day. That way they don't sell out on thrusday screwing everyone else for the rest of the weekend. I'm pretty sure that's what happened here. I have friends still there trying to get figures, just a matter of getting the golden tickets I guess.

All the Destros at SDCC are gone entirely. No more for the week-end. This was confirmed to me by a hasbro employee there. Luckily I managed to get 1 each silver and gold on Thursday morning.

I wouldn't blame hasbro as a company though. The workers at the conventions should have had a better plan, and they should have been a little more stern to vendors. I know of several ebayers that are able to secure many destros and hot rods and what not. They tell me all they have to do is schmooze the right people and they are able to buy as much as they want. Such is the life of a collector.

Hey everyone, HTS has both the Gold & Silver Destros available for $9.99 each!!

Thanks for the pics and review Blue. Sorry to hear you didn't score any Destro's.

I went to Celebration III and it was very much the same. The lines are crazy and the fire marshall closed down the store a couple of times.

Blue, sorry that things didn't work out as planned...

I will say this though, at ANY toy show that offers exclusives...it's all about who you know. If you happen to know "Mr. X" that works at the Hasbro booth...then SHAZAAM!...you just scored easy access to anything and everything you want/need.

As also mentioned, proof of this is all over FeeBay, as more than one seller has/had at least 20 of each in stock.
