BASK Trade Fest 2012! Sat 1/7 11AM

I heard there was a rare Dean sighting today!

Update:
Date is set! Saturday 1/7/12 11AM @ Japantown.

 

Re: BASK Trade Fest 2012?

Medium rare.

I didn't attend the last couple of trade fests because I feel like I have nothing left to trade that anyone would want, but what the heck, it's always a great idea and a good time. If BASK wants to have one to ring in the new year (or the Mayan Apocalypse or whatever) then we should do it. Can S7 host or should we find another venue?

 

Re: BASK Trade Fest 2012?

Dont have much to trade but, im down to hang

 

Re: BASK Trade Fest 2012?

always up for trade fest. I like having it in Japantown for old times sake.

someone pic a date.

 

Re: BASK Trade Fest 2012?

J-Town sounds good, that way we won't have to worry about interrupting biz on Haight. How about Saturday January 7th approx 11am? Will that work for peeps?

 

Re: BASK Trade Fest 2012?

good for me. I might have to work in the early morning, so I might be a little late

 

Re: BASK Trade Fest 2012?

I'll try to make it.

 

Re: BASK Trade Fest 2012?

Any excuse to go to Japantown is a good one. I will try to get up there.

 

Updated w/ the suggested time and location.

 

I propose a white "kaiju" gift exchange. We all wrap up a toy worth $25 and we do the gift exchange complete with steals, etc.

since there are so many variations. please list your favorite rules below.

i'll start:

1. A toy can only get stolen 5x.

 

Thats a great idea...
I might have work tho.....but Im going to do my best to make it.

1.toybotstudios
2.computerhair415

 

Great idea! I'm totally up for this and pretty sure I can make it.

Happy holidays everybody!

 

I don't understand why there is a list of people starting. Toybot was asking to list rules that you may want for the gift exchange...and then it becomes a list of people...

 

old kr habits are hard to break

 

LOL. the kr comment is clutch.

1. 5x might get a little crazy. Can we go for 3x?

2. Is this perceived/market value or retail value? I've got some figs that would likely be over that in terms of retail, but would gladly donate them purely due to the fact that I don't really see them fitting in my collection anymore.

3. No aggressive shaking or fondling of gifts in attempts to identify them? (You all know that some of these figures have very distinct shapes and sizes, so I'm just saying.)

anyone care to add to the list?

 

HA HA whoops, Thats want you get for reading and replying so early in the morning.

 

What list?

 

is it cool if i dress up like a furry?

 

No, fur makes you warm. If you want to be cool, dress up like Gothic Lolita.

 

It is a weekend so here's your chance! Better yet...a gothic lolita furry!!!

 

Official BASK Kaiju Gift Exchange Rules:

1. no toy can get stolen more than 3x
2. $25 perceived market value toy. feel free to bring a toy worth more than $25 if you're feeling generous.
3. no aggressive shaking or fondling of toys in attempt to identify them.
4. no dressing up like a furry, but Goth Lolita ok unless your name is Jeff.
5. toy must be wrapped in some way.

 

So who is thinking about coming out? For those willing, I was planning on doing a few brief interviews. Asking your opinion on 2011 Toy of the Year and the toy you are most looking forward to in 2012.

 

I'm planning on being there. where in jtown are me meeting up?

 

We're meeting at Post and Buchanon, at The Pagoda. Looking forward to meeting you!
