Even if you start before the floor opens there is only so much storage space (which they fill btw) to keep what the want to sell. Once that gets depleted then they can restock.

Restocking in that crowd is a monumental task. This is when people who were already in line get assed out. Not everyone is buying the same products. Some sell out quicker than others. It really isn't as easy a task as everyone who isn't there imagines it to be. It just isn't.

With that said and I too live in San Diego...The reps there have one thing in mind is to ensure they have enough stock to last the convention. That why there was a 4 item limit. Aaaaand to limit those 1% scalpers that are going to put the exclusives on ebay for crazy prices. They could do a better job but just like Greenskar said it almost impossible with the amount of people there. Whenever the expansion is completed here in San Diego I think it would solve some of the BS that goes with getting exclusives or getting screwed because they "ran" out of product which just isn't true. Proven case was this year on what happen to my friend.
