Your line number will assure your place in line for both the Star Wars and LASH shows (5 p.m. and 7 p.m. respectively), so you can just come by at noon (or anytime thereafter) and spend the rest of the day doing what you wish. Incidentally, those who have pre-ordered a Jumbo Stormtrooper will be assured theirs regardless of their line position, and, of course, some lucky soul will be going home with one for free!
Scott draws a bunch of 2x2 squares in chalk outside the store that each individual needs to stay within. If you leave the square outside of the appointed bathroom break times (once every 90 minutes) you forfeit your number. He's kind of a hardass about that and some of us have complained but they're the rules and we happily oblige.
Fairly sure you're not yoked to the line, is just a way to distribute. Correct me if I'm wrong tho Stealthtank. In payment for answering your question, you can send me that Sal in your avatar. PM for address
Will do hope to see you guys at the show if I can make it up. And stealthtank, so what time would be good to assure a good spot? And once I get my number I can come back at 5 and/or 7 and have my spot secured? Any more news on the Lash show or how many jumbo troopers will be availible? Thanks in advance for all the help!
I just unboxed over 50 one-off handpainted miracles for LASH's show plus unpainted exclusives, test pulls, and other goodies. Really, every piece for the show is a masterwork. This weekend really is going to be amazing!
Yes, you can come back at 5 and 7 and your spot will be secured. We should have enough Stormies for everyone who wants one, but if not we will do our best to secure one from the other store for you.
Once you get your line number, you are free to leave and need only come back at 7 when the show opens and the line forms for item selection.
Ok thanks for all the help stealthtank, for the Lash show, will the ticket determine who gets first dibs? And should I get in line for my ticket at 11:30? Also will we see more teasers?
At the last great SF7 show, Monsters in the Mangroves, the store opened at 1100 and two die-hard toy lunatics showed up at 0445, and of course walked away with exactly what they wanted. Four or five more showed up between 0830-0930, yours truly among them, and got what we wanted. I believe there were about a dozen people total when the doors opened at 1100. But the thing is, at that show as well as at the Leecifer/JoshH show, the PK show, and the Motorbot Show, I also snagged some terrific toys after opening day. Thing is, there will be plenty of great toys, and we all have different tastes, so you will certainly walk away with something terrific whenever you come.
We will also be hosting a "Brainers for Breakfast" event that morning, beginning at 8 a.m., so everyone who wants to come early can come in out of the sun and enjoy some doughnuts and breakfast pastries. Meanmistert will be your host, and everyone will be free to hang out in the store until 11:30, when prep for the show will begin. This should give everyone an ample amount of time to figure out individual event strategies, etc.
How about some partial pics of what the "Secrets" are all about And 50+!?!?! That's a quite few more than what was posted about(almost twice as much). This is going to be absolutely phenomenal!
I'm still not all packed so I guess no pics tonight, just gonna have to see them all in a few days, sorry ... And I think Scott is also counting in the unpainted protos and the examples of the 4 production Doji Sans ...well and a few, unlisted toys
This is one show I really wish I could see in person. What an experience it would be to see what will be soooooo many great pieces first hand! However, I'll be looking forward to all the pics from you damn lucky Floridians!
yaaaay...!!! I found me a little money to spend, whew...!!! hopefully I can afford a nice custom depending on the prices or maybe even one of those killer sludge demons that blobpus did...!!! must borrow Sera Lee's camera for this one...!!!
I wish I could make it but it's across the country for me. Have fun everyone, I expect to see some pics. And an early congrats to Rich for his stellar work.
This should be a fantastic night w/ so much going on! Congrats to LASH & S7 Fl!! Looking forward to the photos.
Just got in and I loveeeee this place ! Also, everything is on early display. So if your around the area you can get an early preview
