Totally true, but the issue it seems to me is that many, like me, are sick of seeing only the chosen few Japanese able to have the fun toys given away at these.

Sure, they're entirely fluff and don't provide an 'advantage', but the F-U-N and there is no way for the rest of us to ever get them. Have conventions, fine, but don't provide give-aways that no on else gets a chance of seeing.
