But DCUC wasn't the only one with that problem. Personally, I think the reason toy makers didn't put limits on the quantity is because they were worried about having leftover stock that wouldn't sell. I honestly don't think they took the secondary market into consideration or the idea that people might resell them after the event. Maybe the people working the booth thought of it when someone came through their line and bought 25 of the same exact figure and forwarded it on to TPTB.

I know Hasbro has said in the past that they do not pay any attention to the secondary market when it comes to planning future products. I don't know if that's still true or if Mattel is the same way or not. But at least we are seeing them put quantity limits on SDCC exclusives now (and by "them", I mean toy companies in general).
