I'm a bit leery making this thread. I don't want it to turn into a bunch of complaints, that is not the point. The point is to get information.
As the title says, I won't be attending the San Diego Comic Con. I want Jinx, however. I prefer the white (alternate) version, but I would like to get both (possibly even 2 of the alternate version). What I want to know is what are the ways (besides ebay) that I can acquire this figure? I've read about people getting last year's Zarana through websites. What are these, and how quickly did they appear after the con and sell out? I've heard of people picking up extras to send to fellow tankers. This is awesome of some people, but I wonder, how many are you allowed to buy at the con. Are there limits? Are there other options? |

Well, if I can get my SDCC Zarana off Amazon for $34, I'm sure you'll be able to do the same with SDCC Jinx.

Pre order through BBTS or an ebay seller
The GIJCC may also have a preorder as well.

There are some very kind tankers who might be willing to pick one up for you at cost, but most will want to make a profit, so you might have to pay more to get them. But you could try your luck (and you'll need it) and wait to see if some leftovers show up on HTS.com or the GIJOEClub site.

Hasbro toy shop will have them up, But their servers are a nighmare. I had several things in my cart but could not check out.
Pre-order them for an online dealer, you pay more but if you get in early enough it won't be as bad as what the scalpers want you to pay. |

Yup, try Hasbro Toy Shop first. It's stressful, but ... it's there. You can also do the eBay pre-order thing, although from what I've heard, this can be questionable. BBTS pre-order is a good back-up.
And try not to sweat it too much. Zarana and USA Sarge both became pretty easily had for $30ish. The variants, of course, were more. |

BBTS worked pretty well last year. If you miss out on the pre-order, try for HTS. If that doesn't work out, try again with BBTS as many will cancel their orders if they get one from HTS. I keep thinking that the Joe club will get some pre-orders this year ... but they didn't last year.

Yeah, I had a regular Z on pre-order for $30 and then I let her go after the HTS sale. Her pre-order jumped to $45 right away!

Just out of curiosity, what do the exclusives retail for at the con?
