If they would only sell them. These practices only appeal to the scalpers and narcissistic. I can make a proxy, but I should not have to.
And despite the erroneous comment it was a Kickstarter, not everyone has been around that long, or to every convention, to catch every promo. But I refer you to paragraph one.

It's not for scalpers, this is geared to getting nice promos to ACTIVE PLAYERS.
They are only giving them out to people who are willing to enter a tournament, go to that tournament, and basically participate in the community! This appeals to people who like King of Tokyo, and I, for one applaud the move, and the way they've done it.
And really, if you are able to win one.. and you want to sell one.. why not? I am guessing most people who like the game enough will keep theirs - making this even more rare, when some few people want to sell. Don't forget - Richard Garfield is kind of the MASTER of this sort of promotion. :) And it doesn't seem to have hurt MtG much.
while I agree, some of us have responsibilities that make it excessively difficult to attend tourneys and cons, that doesn't mean I don't actively recommend the game to my friends and family, in fact me and my son play it atleast once a week sometimes more and his friends play too when they can, so I will be hoping to see one for sale and hopefully not for an astronomical fee, but I would have preferred they had also had other options available to receive it
