18 & 1/2 hours after opening up registration, they've only sold 30% of the boxsets (which I includes non-attendees, and in previous years they had to wait a couple weeks before they could buy up non-attendee sets).

Also in the email they sent out a couple hours ago, there were still 2 seats left in the Thursday Custom Class. (might be gone now though)
(they also mention that there is only a few more hours to get the first-day pin... yeah, big deal)


Damn... it's gonna be a quieter convention this year if they can only get about 300 people (my estimate) to pre-register as attendees on the first day.
That's like with their club exclusive toys - the bulk of the sales are in the first day, and then very little interest after that, because their sales are by people who follow twitter, facebook and the global fan-sites, who know immediately when these things are available and purchase them that day.
I have a feeling that they will struggle to get past 50% this year... but it will be interesting to follow their updates over the next few days.
