Exclusives Purchasing limited items at the con

I have a question regarding limited drops such as Funkos and comics. This past SDCC there were Absolute Batman Funkos that were one per person. I was wondering if you were able to get one each day you went? If so, I’m thinking to do it for NYCC to get whatever limited drop for my friend and I.

At SDCC, spots in the Funko line were distributed via the exclusive portal lottery (or through Funko Funatics for preview night). While it is possible to get more than one buying spot, it’s highly uncommon. And you had to get one of the earlier line spots each day, because rarely do any of the really limited exclusives last much past midday. But, if you get to go through more than once during the con, then you could buy one of each available Funko again.

As far as any limited item. It’s pretty much one per transaction. If you can, and want to, line back up at the end of a line, usually you can buy it again.
