I guess they do  need to created this artificial exclusiveness in order to generate demand or else they will turn into Figpin.

Oh fundays....  people who get in love it.  People who don't lament.  Love/sad relationship.  Good luck to everyone getting Fundays and Funko booth.  Or closer tomorrow for Funko Star Wars Celebration.

I did Hall H line for Friday and Saturday. 

By Friday, I was able to get dinner by 7:45pm.  Saturday, I think I got wristbands closer to 10pm and was back in my hotel room near 11 (we were in the front of the line) although part of the delay was helping those who planned to camp out settle in.

Yeah as much as I like some of these Funko Pops, they really feel like the Beanie Babies of this generation (only A LOT more of these than the Beanie Babies).  They're fun, and I enjoy collecting the ones that really stand out (and I get why people like them), but they absolutely generate that artificial exclusivity for big conventions that turns its fans rabid!  I have ADHD, with a main component being Hyper Focus, so for me sometimes it's the absolute thrill of the hunt: it's easy to get caught up in the must-have/must-find visceral thrill/adrenaline rush of it all.  But it's mostly dialed back
(until this year's exclusives are announced and I get way-too-hyped about a specific Pop or two)

MGH ballroom was capped out from what they've claimed.  That's why size has stayed static? IDK.

What is artificial?  Each time this event has moved to a larger location it has still instantly sold out. I doubt there is anywhere bigger in San Diego they could hold it outside of booking a stadium.

We're way past that point. In 2018 I had my tickets May 8.  Everything's late this year.
