With several studios cancelling their panels at the
San Diego Comic Con due to the Screen Actor's Guild strike, and the appearances of any actors or celebrities in serious doubt, another infamous part of any Comic Cons, the
scalpers, or members of the
S.C.A.L.P. (
who put the 'con' in 'comic con), have decided to also skip the event this year.
ToyFarce investigated...
"
Well, you see, if we can't get actors to sign our toys, so that we can jack up the prices, then what's the point?" said a representant of the
SCALP. "
Usually, we'd go for the SDCC exclusive items, but they're all going to be available online, so we can just work remotely, get more members ordering them from home. We'd also have several of our members queueing in the lines to get autographs on items, so that we can then sell them with a huge mark up, but this won't happen this year, so that saves us the trip!"
Without any
movie trailers to show or
celebrities to '
meet and greet', it looks like this year's
San Diego Comic Con might have to resort to focus on other formats, such as
comics... which is something that had been in the name '
Comic Con' all along.
