Retailers should note that Diamond will only have enough inventory on hand in San Diego to fill pre-orders to be sold at the show, and will not have additional inventory available for non-pre-order pick-ups. Retailers who plan on attending, but not exhibiting, will be able to order the exclusives from Diamond’s booth for delivery after the show. However, allocations may occur, especially as these items are intended for sale at conventions, and priority will be given to exhibitor orders. Furthermore, if demand exceeds supply, product pre-ordered by exhibiting retailers may also be allocated.
