Groundhog Day With Regards To SDCC Exclusives

Posted by Paul | May 10, 2014 at 10:03 PM ET

A couple of readers have written in asking us to address all of the eBay scalping of The Black Series 6" Jabba The Hutt set. There isn't much we can say. It appears as if these "sellers" are annual offenders. Yes. It's outrageous what the scourge of the earth is doing to collectors. It's worse that Hasbro doesn't kill them dead in their tracks by making these easy to obtain for all that want them. There are always two positions on these issue. The attendees should have something exclusive for attending. Not sure if I personally agree with that, but that's the way it is. I loathe SDCC exclusives. I wish they would all be banned. But I don't rule the world. I should point out that we are just as bad if we panic about securing these exclusives and support the scalpers. While it doesn't help for StarWars.com to link to an article with the author essentially encouraging scalping (which has since been heavily revised), we just have to accept that we will go through something similar every year. Just don't buy these things on eBay for elevated prices. Because you are supporting why these folks can charge the money they do for these exclusives.
