Dealer means you'll get access to the loading areas and you should have access to the floor before the Con opens. It's a very nice thing to have. Of course, this being your first Con, it's going to be real confusing in there. If you want to give me the other dealer badge I'll be more than happy to give you a tour... :wink:

I hope you bought prepaid parking passes. Those things are almost as valuable as the pass itself.

Be wary though as some booths won't sell if you have just a dealer badge. Mattel for example, I was able to get in early with dealer badge but they wouldn't let you line up unless you had normal badge. Fortunately I had both.

seriously?? shit... hopefully ill be ok with a dealer badge..........

by **aibohphobia** on Tue May 15, 2012 11:23 pm

All the big Toy companies with exclusives are pretty strict about their lines and who they even sell too. I can't imagine there would be any other booths that would give you a problem.

by **TheBeard** on Wed May 16, 2012 3:18 am

They'll sell to you but some prefer to keep it on an even playing field and just won't let you line up early even though you get in before anyone else.

if anyone ends up knowing someone w/ an extra dealer badge I'd gladly buy it off them;) Still in need of a pass :hanging:

Last year it was pretty chill at the booth nothing to crazy, this year maybe a Lil more hectic, everyone tried to hype up that gettin a print was Gunna be crazy, it wasn't, it's comic-con not mondocon, there's million other things to do. It's obvious more flippers will be lingering around the booth but there should be enough to go around.

oh I'm not worried about mondo. I'm just worried about other companies not letting me buy from them because i have a dealer badge...........(when do the mondocon badges go up for sale?)
