Title: C3 Schwag or what will you be in line for?
Post by: Morgbug on February 22, 2005, 01:30 PM
Just picked up on the fact there'll be a mini saber from MR at C3, so that's two lines that I know of thus far.  I thought we should keep track, if only for fun....

1. C3 exclusive talking Vader figure
2. C3 Master Replicas mini-saber (details?)
3.

Since we'll likely be lumped together in a group, I'll proably just go where you and J-MAC tell me to go...

For sure I'm going to grab my allotment of 4 C3 Vaders (for me and a couple other local guys) and I'll probably try to buy up the rest of the exclusives as well to bring back here and offer up to my "groupies".

You groupies know who you are... ;)

So what you're saying is we'll be moving as one large, drunken JD-mass? :P  Just going from line to line being obnoxious and spouting RS eptithets the whole way?

Any clue if Greg(g) is gonna be there?

Anywhat, I'm heading got the Vaders, The MiniSabers, and hopefully a Gentle Giant bust exclusive if they have one.

A drunken mass works for me...   :P

But are we talking lines for exclusives (only) here?  Or just lines in general?  'Cause there's definitely gonna be other lines we'll be waiting forever in outside of chasing exclusives.  That's assuming you want to go to any of the more popular events/panels/viewings in the bigger convention rooms.

As for excusives, nothing else really comes to mind yet, but I'm sure there'll probably be a few more.  Maybe GG?  I dunno...

Lots and lots o' lines.  That'll be the theme for the trip.  That, and Hooters, of course.   ;)

Highly doubtful.  GNT's only 18 years old, and lives on the other side of the world, so I doubt he'll have the funds to make it.  Plus, he knows everyone would probably just want to beat him up if they met him, so I'm sure he's taking that factor into consideration as well...   ;)

I kid.  I kid.  No one's gonna beat Greg(g) up if he comes.  Some serious taunting, maybe, but no physical violence.  Unless he starts it.   :D

I know I will be in line for the C3 Store to get the figure plus what other stuff comes out.  Hopefully a list will show up soon with all of the stuff that is going to be offered and a list of those people signing as will. 

EDIT:  I will also be getting Ray Parks autograph plus any others that will be announced soon.

Indeed, Darthshader has promised to drink with us as well (Sharon, I believe) so at least two drunken women as well. 

And yes Matt, lines in general will be the theme I believe.  I'll probably be a little less keen than most on some of the lines.  I'll go as hard as I can on stuff for two days, but after that my patience will be lost.

That would be interesting...to say the least.  If you talk sports he'd sit there all night and bull**** with ya.  If you talk Star Wars, he'll be playing pool with the waitresses again.  I won't be one of the drunk ones so I guess I'll appoint myself  the official photographer of the JDC3 picture thread.  I hope I'll be able to crowd all you clowns gentlemen in with the poor Hooter waitresses.  You all better have lots of tip money for them!! :-*

And getting back on topic, I think we can safely assume that GG will have an exclusive.  Are they the "bust-up" people?  Because I'm thinking  GG will do a bust and  those bust-ups will also have exclusives going on.   It's a line I won't stand in but if they do the ticket/lottery thing like they've done at other conventions I've been at, at least someone will have two extra tickets via Jay & I.

He eats, sleeps and breathes baseball.  He knows the NFL and watches college basketball only.  We are both clueless when it comes to hockey and NASCAR (I only drive like I'm in the Indy 500).  I think this is going to be more fun than the actual convention. ;)

Ah, college basketball, cool.  We'll discuss the goings on of the preceding March Madness.  Please, who's his favorite team?

I'd be ecstatic to see a GG exclusive, or two, but I don't know that there'll be anything.  It would be great if there is.  Perhaps an IG-88 bust up :P

Wow, JD's drunken Conga line.  8)  So far this is whats on tap for me:

C3 talking Vader figure.
Title: Re: C3 Schwag or what will you be in line for?
Post by: JesseVader08 on February 23, 2005, 10:30 AM
Right on!  I think I just convinced my wife to go to C3.  She'll be accompanying me on the adventures, but I think you guys'll get a kick out of her.  After all, she's the one that supports my collecting addiction habit.   :)  I think she'll probably come out for a few hours each day, and then go shopping when she gets overwhelmed by the geekiness.  So, knowing her, it may be a competition to see who can spend more money.   :D

As for line-ups, I can be convinced to go anywhere.  Obviously, the talking Vader is a necessity - I may actually pick up all 8 that I'll be entitled to (my wife is going to get a 4 day pass as well).  I figure some of my Canadian brothers in arms will be interested.  Of course, we'll be flying, so that will be a factor in what I can take home because my goodies will have to go in a suitcase to go home, and airlines aren't exactly known for being gentle on luggage.   :(

Now I've never collected any of the MR pieces, but seeing one with my own eyes may convince me to pick up one of the exclusives.

Like you guys said, I'd be surprised if there wasn't an exclusive from GG, which I'd be interested in since I've got a couple Busts and Bust-Ups.

Oh, and sign me up for the drunken line-ups.   ;)

Looks like some of us will be standing in GG's line now, for their C3 exclusive black-pauldroned Sandtrooper Corporal...

(http://www.gentlegiantltd.com/media/news/26/default.jpg)

Quote
The first of the three (Sandtroopers) will be an exclusive to Star Wars Celebration III this April in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Sandtrooper Corporal comes with a black pauldron that denotes rank. The edition size for the Sandtrooper Corporal mini bust has been set at 2500 pieces. During Celebration III the quantity of Sandtrooper mini busts for purchase will be allocated on a per day basis.

Oy.  Hopefully this isn't too crazy of a challenge, but I have a feeling it will be.  So, who's in on this line with me?!   :P

Count me in line as well with the rest of your guys for the Bust.  Hopefully the lines won't be too bad and hopefully with the ability to buy 2 or more of your alloment of Vaders it will help make getting this bust easier.
Title: Re: C3 Schwag or what will you be in line for?
Post by: JesseVader08 on March 18, 2005, 02:39 AM
I'm still trying to decide if I want any of the Sandtroopers since I've got 2 Stormtroopers.  I love the Stormies so much, so I don't know if I need to spend the $50 to add basically what I already have.  I'm far from completist on this line, so I don't know if a pauldron and some dirt can justify the $$.

Post by: Darth Broem on March 18, 2005, 08:54 AM
How much is that bust anyways? 

By the way anyone going to attempt to acquire the 21 collectible cards from the collecting panels?  I would like to.  If so that is probably another sort of line to wait in?
Title: Re: C3 Schwag or what will you be in line for?
Post by: jadesfire on March 18, 2005, 05:46 PM
I'm in line for MR's mini saber and the Darth Vader toy.  If it's a lottery for the GG exclusive (but not sure about that), my hubby and I will each get tickets to help those that really want this.

I'd love to track a set of those down too, Brian, but not at the expense of missing so many other things at the convention.  Not sure if you read the details on these cards, but they're giving away one at each collecting panel.  No other way to get them.  So you have to make it to every single collecting panels (likely 21 hours worth of time) to get the complete set.

I love collecting panels as much as the next guy, but not at the expense of missing far more unique panels/shows/displays/exclusives and such.  I remember I had originally planned on attending several collecting panels at C2, but when I got there, and got some of the more finalized/official schedules of events, I noticed some serious scheduling conflicts with other one-time events at the show.  So I wound up foregoing all of the collecting panels, and I don't regret it one bit, since the things I went to instead were much more interesting, and added to my overall experience at C2.

Besides, the collecting panels are rather similar to just discussing things here on the forums anyway.  You're just doing it in person, is all...

But yeah, I'd love to nab those cards.  I wonder how much the sets are going to go for on eBay afterwards.  I'm guessing quite a pretty penny.   :-\
Title: Re: C3 Schwag or what will you be in line for?
Post by: JesseVader08 on March 21, 2005, 11:00 PM
I think a full set of cards would be neat, but one of my lesser concerns.  I definitely want to hit some of those collecting panels, but like you said Matt, there's going to be so much going on that scheduling conflicts are bound to arise.  And besides, there should be a bunch of less formally planned things that will be as much fun.   ;)

Of course, I'm so anal retentive, that I'm probably going to be running around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to figure out the best way to organize my time.   Type A personality = OCD, whether it's collecting or organizing.  :-X

Post by: Darth Broem on March 22, 2005, 10:55 AM
Yeah that is true.  Sounds like I will only be be standing in line for the C3 figure and autographs.  That will make up most of the day for me.  Just joking.  Not sure if I will get that Sandtrooper bust or not.  I was hoping for the orange pauldron version.

Post by: Morgbug on March 23, 2005, 10:22 AM
The Gentle Giant bust is far and away the most important thing for me now (so far).  I think there will be ample Vader's and I won't be too concerned about missing out on the mini saber. 

I have to think it's going to be a raffle too.  Hopefully Jeff has extra pairs of lucky underwear (no, not to share, so he's not wearing the same pair four days in a row.)

Actually, according to my map,  GG and MR booths are directly across from one another and we will be in front of the same door to get in so....if it looks like the saber line is shorter, I'll send him to the GG line and hold me a spot so I can jump in that after I have my sabers.  Just so no one gets upset, I am only getting these to turn around and give to other people here that might miss out.  But honestly, I am seeing lottery ticket all over this exclusive  :P.

Like I said at RS I hope it isn't a lottery ticket type deal because it would suck for those who have a ticket but don't get a Bust.  Hopefully I will be able to get one for myself then I need to find a way to get one for my cousin so I may be looking for a chance to get another from someone who doesn't want one.

I just posted this on the front page:

"Prepare To Visit The Celebration Store!

(http://www.jedidefender.com/news/images/2-05/C3%20Logo2.jpg)

The Celebration Store (http://www.starwars.com/community/news/2005/04/news20050406.html) will be selling more than 40 items, and certainly the exclusive Darth Vader will a hot commodity.  Be sure to check out this PDF file (http://www.starwarscelebration.com/files/merchandise.pdf) that shows all of the goodies available!

Hall F
Indiana Convention Center
Thursday, April 21
Noon -- 1 pm Fan Club Members Only
1 pm -- 8 pm Open For All

Friday & Saturday, April 22 & 23
9 am -- 10 am Fan Club Members Only
10 am -- 8 pm Open For All

Sunday, April 24
9 am -- 10 am Fan Club Members Only
10 am -- 4 pm Open For All
 
Keep in mind that the C3 exclusive Darth Vader is limited to 4 per 4-day pass or 1 per 1-day pass.  As well, they will be selling custom display cases for the C3 exclusive Darth Vader.  There will be a "Fast Path" line to allow people to enter the store based on the time they signed up for - the "Fast Path" passes will be available outside Hall F."

I've gotta get a couple Vaders obviously, and it's nice to hear that they're making some display cases for them so that they survive the travel home. 

I also really like the "Epic Poster" shown on page 2.  Very cool.

Post by: SilverZ on April 7, 2005, 03:07 AM
Thanks for posting that, Jesse.

The packaging for Vader looks much more unique now. It certainly has been pulled away from looking like a variation on the ROTS packaging and become its own thing, while riffing on the style enough to feel like it's part of the same family of toys. Very nice.

I'm really pleased that there will be a case for the Vader, as well. Those are going to be essential for transporting those puppies home.

Looking through the other stuff, I'll probably end up with a cap to go with my C1 hat (did they have a C2 one?), and that poster, which does look pretty damn cool. I hope they are sold in solid mailing tube, though.

No clue, but I am fully expecting a lottery, there's no other way they can do it to be fair ::)  It's the only thing I really, really want to walk out of there with and multiples would be great to pass onto a couple of folks around here too.

I like the lottery idea sometimes, but on the other hand, if I run my ass to the booth when they first open, I should be rewarded for that. I don't want to have the same chance as some schmuck who wandered in at 5pm on Sunday.

Man.....the Ebay bastards are somehow going to get them all, I know it.   I just want one!  Uno!  UNO!

Please note that the deadline for advanced badge registration, and for ordering the exclusive Darth Vader topper, is Friday, March 4 at 12:00 noon PST.

Sounds kinda cool (not that I'd actually put one on my car, or anything).  Here's the others:

Guess I'll grab the rest there, if I can find them, since I already got the Vader one...

Any updates on how exactly that stupid GG bust is getting distributed?  I'm hoping with my whole group from Seattle, I can snag my one that I want....but if it's a damn lottery again, it's anyone's guess.

I sent out a few e-mails this weekend to my contacts asking if the min-bust would be "first-come, first serve" or "raffle", but the best I was able to come up with is:

"The Star Wars Celebration III Exclusive Sandtrooper Corporal mini bust will
be available to purchase in a similar manner as our past conventions
exclusives.  The quantity sold at the show will be sold in accordance with
the convention's policies.  Currently, this involves daily allocation and
the implementation of a Fastpass system should lines demand it."

That's about as specific as GG wants to be at the moment unfortunately.  They've been burned at Cons before, so they are keeping the "How To" info on this one close to the vest until the day of is sounds like...

Guess we just make the mad dash for the GG booth at the start of each day until we get one...  :-\

Uh, yeah.

So I'm going through my box as I slowly dole out the C3 Vaders to people around here (yes, at cost) and I've come to the stunning realization I'm short three star case backs :o :'(  I've no idea where they went.  I'm sure I received them, the guy at the door even suggested I count them and I had 8 at that point.  But now I am missing 3.

Has anyone got any to spare?  I know it's unlikely, but lmk if you can help out.

Brent, weren't you around when one of our group mentioned their tale of how they got a bunch of the cases, but realized that the C3 volunteer forgot to give them the corresponding BACKS?  They had to march back into the store and explain the problem to someone to finally get the corresponding case backs.  I forget who that was that it happened to now though...

Did you purchase all of your figures at once?  Sounds like it, so it'd be strange to get 8 cases but only 5 backs in the same trip.

Maybe you got a couple backs stuck together, and sent them out already?

Or maybe you're just totally senile and don't pay too good of attention to stuff...  :-*



BTW, how many of your passes do I still have?

 :P

That was Dale!  He was all happy to get his figures and almost left without the Star Case backs!  :-X

He marched right back to the guy and let him have it!   ;)

You still have my 4-day pass...  :(

Yep, that was me. They opened another till up that was cash and figures only. Damn rights I was happy, waiting in line for 4 1/2 hours to get those figures. People were mostly paying with CC and when the volunteer came up to me, I bolted to the till.  ;D

All said and done, I went to the side to put my figures in there cases and noticed there were no backs so off I go back to get them and as Jeff mentioned, I let that guy have it!   :P

I don't believe I mentioned this before, but on May 2 when the CIII stuff was on StarWarShop I ordered a CIII logo baseball cap and T-shirt.

Now they've FINALLY shipped. ::) At of 7:35 this morning they're in Rialto, CA, estimated arrival June 15. Yay!

I was just going through my credit card receipts from C3 when I came across my receipt for the shirts I ordered.  I totally forgot about them and they haven't arrived - it looks like I'd better contact GenCon to find out where they are.  This should be fun.   :-\

Did anyone else order any items at C3 for delivery that initially went out of stock?
