Yeah I don't know why these would only be for sale at SDCC. There is no way they could sell enough to recoup the production costs from just sales at the con. Also Super 7 is licensing these from Mattel so there is cost there. Seeing how Re-action figures are sold in Barnes and Nobel and other brick and mortar stores I would think they will make them available some how. Especially if they plan to make more properties and a second wave. Or will wave two be exclusive to NYCC? Just 1 wave in 1 color per SDCC and NYCC.
The ebay prices are ridiculous. I can see the fervor over the purple( I won't pay $30+ though) because it is a free goodie and its future is uncertain. Again I would have to speculate a purple release might happen because I don't think they can run just 1 figure at a time. I would bet it is in a mold with Beastman and Trapjaw, would be impractical to have each character molded separately(also probably crazy in cost). So either a full purple release or maybe those guys will be singles at other cons? I will wait a bit and see how it goes. Buying things out of panic just doesn't work for me.
Right now if you buy all 4 flesh and 2 black sets at SDCC, you will spend 36 bucks. People putting them for 100+ on ebay is just fueling the shittiness of the current collector environment online. People had auctions for the Re-action set before the con even started! They didn't have a product but were selling it for triple its' retail. The audacity I tell you!
