but if 30 minutes early won't hurt you, sure.
I haven't seen the availability of older releases, but last year there wasn't much rush to get the exclusives.
and I'm not really looking for older releases. I had wanted some affordable insecticons and a below-retail used stunticon set but now I dunno. While it's hard to compare it to sub-par CW stunticons, it's made an affordable alternative, and now I want something better.
The thing about the Japanese table at BotCon was it often had stuff much cheaper to get than importing through other channels, and often exclusives too. I got my black Nitro Convoy there. They sold out and later got more, and because I kept checking back, I got one.
It's really hard to get good deals on rare stuff. While not from the Japanese table, one year I got Killer Punch unopened for a ridiculously cheap price. I was so psyched, because I never would have paid the market price for one, and wouldn't have had the figure otherwise.

When FP dropped Steel Core at TFCON a few years ago they had some City Comander sets in their various colours for $120 but I was on the Steel Core train and already had the City Commander sets in 2 colours, the Black version purchased the previous evening from Hardreturn, go figure lol. So surprises like that can show up from time to time.
