You can always do the online pre-order and pick them up. I heard the line wasn't too bad last year. In 2010, it was horrible.

These companies lose out on millions of sales by making everything exclusive or limited edition. Oh well, they don't need my money so moving on.

Well I'm sure they do something to the Cylon Raider and Viper to so they can jack up the price but everything they've done for SDCC has made it to mass retail in a simpler version to meet the $1 price tag of a regular hot wheel. I assume this will be no different.

But in no way am I going to brave the secondary market for this.

I just don't like BG enough to make it worth the effort.

I missed out on a lot of those but the ones I do find I find in bunches like the Mystery Machine and Ecto-1.

I agree I won't look for these on the secondary market but I might ask a friend to hook me up.
