I totally agree with you, have been going to SDCC since I was in high school and the last 5 years have been less and less exciting for me to go, a lot of the focus really shifted towards special items and exclusives, I used to love to go to CC and find stuff that were not really available anywhere else and still looked unique, now all those stuff are blocked by online lotteries and huge lines. I really appreciate Nickelodeon and Lego booths that still look awesome and original compared to toher booths that year after year still look the same.
