I feel like I can help clear up some of the misunderstanding here.
A limited amount of LE flyers were made specifically for this expo autograph session. It was very important to us that everyone got their LE flyer autographed.
In the past there has been problems with people taking entire stacks of flyers and leaving others without the opportunity to have one. There is actually a subset of collectors who trade, buy and sell these flyers! Crazy right?
At the time there were 300+ people in the room, while our small team was busy trying to finish the setup so we could start promptly at 9:30pm. To be clear, the event had not even started yet. No autographs had been signed.
It was an extra stress to be leveling and setting up games amongst a large crowd of bystanders who were at times shoulder to shoulder with you! People were getting up into my personal area trying to do photos of the LE before we were even done setting it up. It was awkward for me to have to ask people to "please move back" but I had to.
As for the flyers, Jody wanted to be sure that everyone waiting in line had the chance to get one. The initial demeanor of the person in question was actually what prompted the reaction from Jody, who wasn't going to tolerate someone taking flyers before it was time to do so.
We appreciate everyone coming to the party. It was the biggest and most exciting one yet! Once we got rolling everyone had a blast and in the end, everyone who wanted a flyer was able to get one.
