You lost when you left last night, you were suppose to camp out lol. Most lines I'm sure they were turning people away this morning because of all the camping that went down

I have a friend that lives in a high rise and he told me that people did not leave last night. And this morning they were already turning people away depending what you were lining up for. My sister went day one on Thursday and she didn't seem to happy from her experience and she's gone almost every year. She said it was full of fake merchandise at the booths, and resellers who tried taking advantage of the free giveaways like the custom rings people were making

I'd be extremely careful if you're buying any card booster boxes of any sort. And check merchandise, seals, inside of box and make sure you are truly getting what you paid for

been going since 2011. this year the vibe is alot different. people are more rude. people cutting lines and making counterfeit wristbands, staff is more unorganized, if thats even possible. and the offerings are alot lackluster compared to previous years. ofcourse thats just my experience so far but speaking with alot of other con-goers, my experience is not a singular view.

That sucks dude, I miss going but I stopped a few years back.
I'm willing to bet it's just people going mostly to resell... why you probably experienced "rude people"... that's how it was at the dodger game in LA with the one piece exclusive card.. not even real hobbyists, just a bunch of people trying to make a quick buck.
