Dies to Removal

I heard they sold out the first day after hearing from numerous sources they would partition out stock over the whole convention and a bunch more for online sales. Good joke.

That was the plan, but the swarm was incredible.

Also please note the $70 raver DJ Pony in the search.
Fingers crossed that the friend who had to do a different friend a favor and get him some of those raver ponies was able to grab me a set while waiting in the same line, but given the news Alex had, that's probably unlikely.

I don't know what stock was like on anything non-MTG related, but at our part of the booth it was literally jam packed the entire time and our stock was gone almost immediately for anything comic-con exclusive.

Hell, I even ran out of SCG life pads and deck boxes after a while. And I had a box of 50,000 life pads when I got here. Deck boxes went slower since everyone has an SCG deckbox at this point but even those went out on Sunday.

On the plus side, it's nice to know that when the chips are down, Wizards can still take a fairly simple process and just fuck the fucking shit fuck out of the fuck of that fuck.
...ah, I love this website.

Wizards actually had no hands in this. Hasbro went over their heads. Which is likely why the print run is such shit quality.

It's really so bad that I think Hasbro used non-WoTC printing presses for it...

It's that bad.

:'( I wanted a set...

They're not as impressive in person. The foiling was done very poorly and you can see the layer of foil around the edges. They're actually really tacky looking, so don't feel too bad. You didn't miss much.

Edit: You can see what I mean.

I've only ever done this with E3 and most of the stuff there isn't worth more than $10, almost not even worth the hassle of carting around/listing on eBay. I usually just try and break even on my admission.

Most of the stuff at E3 isn't limited numbers of Batman-themed poker chip sets or cosplay items from a great if not forgettable Batman story arc. Or limited edition My Little Pony figures.

Yeah you guys may have been spot-on. At like 2pm this afternoon our whole stock was gone. Apparently they don't know just how much Magic has grown since they purchased it...

Right now
sitting on my bed I have like $2,000 in black-on-black PWs though, at least from what I've been told. eBay on my phone is pretty hard to navigate so I can't really tell if people are actually buying them at $500 a piece or not, but that's the forecast on Reddit so maybe...? That's...just insane. After the feeding frenzy dies down I can see them plummeting. I'm not sure if its taboo for me to sell mine since I got them via WoTC and didn't pay for them so I think I am going to just hold on to mine as to not piss off any powers that be. Still...five hundred bucks a pop? Ughhhh.

If anyone wants to swing by and say what's up, I'll be the guy in the WoTC booth all weekend pitching for the Starcity circuit.

it's a banana hammick if you're a guy

I stand firm by my choice of words.

I'll be a booth babe, slinging that Starcity merch under Wizards' wing. I hope they have me wear a bikini.

Post All the set here once you get them for Free, Alex

Will do. Should my penis be in the picture as well? Just curious.

Oh, that's lame. I'm not a pleb so I'll be getting the whole set for free, I didn't realize people were (read: likely aren't) going to pay for them.

They aren't going to be worth that much anyway, most Conswag hits eBay for practically nothing because people grab as much free shit as possible.
