Should be enough evidence right there to show people that they shouldn't be bidding on these things AT ALL on ebay right now. They must have had crazy amounts of these to hand out.

That's unreal, that seller has at least 15 sets! Madopal was unable to get in Flynn's more than once but this guy got in enough times to snag 15?!? Jeez... Evil or Very Mad

 		I'm thinking that it has to be either someone who works for 42E, security or that is somehow affiliated with the event at Flynn's. Or it's someone who found a box and just snagged a bunch of them. Who knows. But it is sickening.

 		personally i wanna punch the guy in his non-fan, money taker nether region. if you're a real fan then you wouldn't do this to other fans. it's also a possibility that he had "friends" helping him collect these. makes me sad for those who were there and may not have gotten any due to other peoples need for money.

I believe the phrase you're looking for is that you want to kick him sqwah inna taco.

Me too.

 		well, i managed to get through three times. The first set of tokens are mine, the second set went to a local freind and fan who couldn't make it. Depending on requests or opinions, i'll offer the last set here either as one big pot, or split it up so lots of people can get a little of something.

Also, I only could get the ONE lightcycle... So someone is going to have to go without. I do have some non-ARG swag to offer... I'll make a real tally after the con. Probably monday afternoon or evening, once i've had a chance to SLEEP... XD

 		As for the person offering 15 sets online, I see two possibilities:
1. They are some kind of insider/thief doing profit taking as theorized above.
2. They are some quickly generated knockoffs, and if you contact the seller it will turn out that they've actually got 'a few extra' which will likely turn out to be in the hundreds.

I know that *certain* official interests are keeping an eye here, so if this is #1 we can figure someone will have consequences. Maybe even #2 as well.

I think I'll pass, but thanks. Not that I don't want 'em, but I think they're more important to other folks. I have my own collection of tokens from real arcades to keep me happy.

On Saturday, they were handing out the tokens/coin purses 2 to a person! Also, some folks left them behind at the End of Line Club.

 		Wow. To think that those of us not able to attend have been fiending for this stuff and others couldn't care less, just leaving them behind. 2 token pouches per attendee?? Um, yeah... if anyone ends up with extras I know I would VERY much be interested in a set. I'm interested in ANY extra Tron stuff that people end up with. For cash, trade, or kindness. Razz

 		Id still like to buy a Vintage Figure if anyone was fortunate enough to score an extra. Also, hoping that the arcade/encomgames/whoever will be sending out token sets to those of us who have demonstrated our commitment to the game/film/campaign. But just in case that doesn't come to pass... I'd love to reimburse somebody for their trouble in getting me a set.

 		Anyone heard anything from emeraldbeacon since Sunday? He was supposed to be getting back to me on shipping costs for the stuff he picked up for me at SDCC and I haven't heard a peep from him since Sunday. Starting to worry about the guy.

EDIT: And by "worry", I don't mean worry if I am being screwed. Just... it's been three days and no response to PM's at all.
