The SDCC pre-sale opens up at 12pm ET. Will this work? I have no idea. Fingers crossed, I guess. Those of you pre-ordering, feel free to report back here.

@americanhyena: The Kevin Conroy voiced packaging is the reason a lot of people are buying the set.
I expected this of Mo-Larr. The fandom wasn't really all that accepting of him. I was going to get him, mainly for the dentist equipment and the havoc staff, but I want Plastic Man too bad to risk getting two figures when they're on Mattycollector. Besides he's already confirmed for a rerelease on Adult Swim's online store so hopefully I can just grab one then.
I envy all of you who can go to the con. I really do hate dealing with that site.

At this point I've come to terms with the fact that I'll be using eBay. Not going to Comic Con this year (never have anyway), nor will I have enough money in time. I have to say, knowing that I need to use eBay anyway relives a lot of stress.

As a person who has been going to SDCC since ’98 and fought countless Exclusive Line battles, TRUST ME – anybody who cares about exclusive figures follows them online and looks/hopes/jumps on any voucher program. The lines are that bad and the sellouts hurt that much. I gaurantee anyone going to the con that wanted an Orko, etc., was on Matty this morning.

Plus, anyone who has been to SDCC is super motivated to get these and that includes a group that hasn't been talked about yet — SCALPERS! SDCC is a SCALPER-RAMA with exclusives being sold for much more than their normal price moments after they are purchased.
I would guess that with press, exhibiters, various riff raff who sneak in using others badges, etc, you might be talking 160 thousand people and a significant number of those are figure collectors who will trample an old lady to get an exclusive.
The lines for figures are always the longest except for the Twilight folk and the figure collectors are always the worst when it comes to patience.

Tried to get an Orko for a friend of mine that can't make it to SDCC, but I was stuck on the white screen 'o death until it refreshed to sold out. The voucher would have been nice because those comic-con lines are just horrendous.

Anyone else notice how the page just kept loading, and not just the "waiting page"? If you couldn't type everything you needed to type in 5 seconds you were in trouble.
