signings aren,t the issue. It is the exclusives
I am really hopping CCI/the booths are ready to adapt/change the system on the fly because the system, as it's currently described, really does seem ripe for various forms of abuse :(.

Any exclusive confirmation I have says I have to bring the confirmation and ID to the booth - I would have assumed they have a list of who has been allocated what time slot? They would have to have some system in process.  If they didn't, even ignoring people who would try to forge it, what would stop someone who has a legitimate confirmation trying to get the same exclusive more than once?

Group of 9, 7 won at least something.
Signings: Manifest, Mayans, Castle Rock, DC Girls Superheros, and Scott Snyder
LEGO: 3 Ant-Man, millenium Falcon, Black Lightning
Booths 2 Funko, UCC, Hasbro

Pretty happy with our results.

If you have opening funko then fantastic. If you have 12 on down then it’s actually better to try the shared stuff online since funko doesn’t restock many of their items after the opening time slot.

My friends and I received Lego Falcon, Lego UniKitty, Funko and Manifest signing.  We're looking to trade for 2001, DC Theatrical, Riverdale, and Supernatural signings.

What time and day did your group get for funko? I got warner brothers theatrical #1 and would trade that for funko if it’s 930am slot and Thursday-Sunday.

Yea people give some credit CCI.. that’s why they test out the process at Wondercon.

I give them props. It’s just the scammers and cheaters I’m worried about. See the Hall H alleged incident last year.

I like the old system better. With the new system I’m probably getting 5% what I wanted. With the old system it was more close to 80% to 90% I got what I wanted. The new system sucks for those attending sdcc for the past 15 years like my friends and myself. The new system sucks ***** but hey this is the new normal for exclusives at sdcc.

Just because You could line up at 5am doesn't mean everyone can. Your privilege is showing.

Just for your information my group and I would line up the day prior not 5am. 5am is already too late. Not privileged at all I just put in the effort for the things I really wanted and not sit on my chair in front of my computer putting in submissions into a portal because I was too lazy to camp out. Thanks for your insight though.

It’s not always laziness that keeps people from camping out. Age, health, family, kids, etc.

All excuses if you want something and know the process to get them but don’t want to do it. Like I said this is the new normal and everyone use to the old ways must adjust. The real collectors/fans make adjustments, the ones that think they’re real collectors/fans just make excuses plain and simple.

Insulting people and asking them for help getting the super rare pops you want....good strategy.

Sorry I kindly declined your offer with the warner brothers theatrical #1 signing I won. You shouldn’t try to offer something for trade if your friend won it like the funko opening time slot and not yourself. It’s not nice to ride someone else’s coattails.
