There are thousands of scalpers upset they only got one or two.

These conventions are a drop in the bucket for Neca sales. I’ve been in the collectibles world since I was a child, and I know that collectors loyalty is a fickle thing. They will swear off a company forever, but be right back the second there is something they want. I bet that 4/5 of the angry mob that is swearing off Neca will be right there buying Neca product again in 6 months.

Small run is great. I’ve wanted movie turtles since I was a kid, and was never satisfied with playmates gummy movie line. In July, I’ll have the figures I’ve always wanted. 7000 others will too. Unfortunately the rest will have to learn to live without. Sorry, but that’s the harsh, cruel world of collectibles.

Agreed. Sadly many are being priced out of toys. I was with sideshow items. And agreed many will keep coming back. What scares me is when they don't. Happened with ghostbusters,masters of the universe and just about every D.C.c Item. Neca is the last hope fire many of my wants. But again at the risk of losing to much of the collecting base,I would rather they wait out playmates.
