They were really adamant about it too.

This year, the average of what will be available at BotCon is 1060.
Yes, we are gonna sell out of some, if not all the items available at BotCon.
I dunno, we're still 2 moths out, and they're packaged in bags, I guess if they notice people are being scalping douches/buying for friends, they could theoretically crank out some more
That seems implausible. Shipping costs alone would make that a fools errand.
Unless they were packed in a box and brought to botcon with one of the staff... I'm just saying it's possible, plus, how will bbts and the like factor into that number? Or do they get shipments separately, directly from funpub/their factories?
