I can see all the flippers will be heading to the event. I just think this is just unfair (In general).

I don't really see a difference on that front. If anything, at least they have to work harder for them since they have to go wait in line.

Flippers do suck but are they really to blame? If there was even a chance they would be out potentially thousands of dollars they wouldn't do what they do. Meaning if no one bought off them they would be buying statues to flip in the first place.

Flippers need to pay $20 entrance fee and queue at least 8 hrs for it

No, I am not blaming flippers. I am just saying the statue is only exclusive for that event, then it will attract mostly flippers. People will buy as many as they can, and then sell it online for a much higher price. It's unfair for those collectors who can't go due to uncontrollable circumstances will be the ones pay the "Flipper's" price.

I guess I just don't understand why XM is not doing the same thing as they did with Ghost Rider. Sure, do some of the POs at shows. Make people take a ticket -- or the first 150 at each show get the statue.

That means half of the allotment goes to show POs. The other half goes up on their site only for PO.

If the issue is that it sucks to wait in line and not get something, welcome to the con world. I have stood in plenty of lines to not get sketches. Sucks, but that's life.
