    It'd just be cool if we got an update or something. Brian said "looks like the 16th," and we haven't heard a word on the release date since.

    gazelle where are youuu

    I'm debating when/if it's safe to leave work and drive home today. Might have to spend the night, just to be safe.

    The store updated about an hour ago, but it was only mugs. Probably safe for us to go outside today.

    I'm betting someone told merchmistress "You can't literally be standing next to someone hopping around like a mad woman making monkey noises and dying to see what they got." so now she is holding the boxes hostage till they allow her to do that.

    That would be like trying to tell a puppy it can't get excited when you give it a new toy.

    Brian is literally writing an update to you all right now. I went in his office and chicken-danced threateningly until he spilled, and I discovered Double-Secret news is on the horizon AND... other pin news. Exciting pin news. I won't steal his thunder, as tempting as it is.

    Man, I'm a great dancer.

    I guess I'll just stare at my email until I see the gazelle pop up.

    @PA Jamie I'm also available to proof the email, if Brian wants to send it my way early :wink:

    we’ll launch the pins (with the lanyards), Double Secret Boxes AND our new pin trading bag all at once in August. In time for shipping before PAX.

    August, ugh. Time to move the calendar reminder.

    Stupid sexy lanyards

    maybe you could ship them to the place you're staying and pick it up when you get there. If are going to try this, I would suggest you contact the place first to see if it was possible

    Exactly, there's also plenty of people in the area I'm sure wouldn't mind letting you use their shipping address.

    Well it still leaves the potential open for blind boxes still this month, alter all, they don't contain any new pins in them. ( unless there is a blind box pin now)

    That does not rhyme with 'soon' at all.

    Well the good news is, actually its great news, You will likely have another paycheck in the bank so you could potentially grab the kickstarter pin AND still pick up some DSB's and Core2.0! And trust me when I say you do not want to miss out on these DSBs and we all know that kickstarter pin is gonna be amazing! The bad news? Waiting sucks. This lanyard making guy just lost any chance of ever being on my Christmas card list.

    Note the Peanut Butter Tim Tams do not actually contain any peanuts...

    Welp, if I am waiting until SOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGUST, then I guess I'll jump on Automata now.

    Is it wrong that I imagine @merchmistress has been preparing DSBs since May, and her fingers are slowly wearing down to wizened nubs?

    any chance we can get confirmed price on the DSB,Core Set and Armadeaddon Sets? This way I could know the exact amount I need to set aside and would know if I could go up to the $150 tier.
    maybe she won't notice I'm trying to also get more info on how Armadeaddon pins are being release hehehehe... she can't see spoilers right?

    Yes, and if they could let us know what that is in AUD, and then if they could lock AUD/USD in sync for a month that would be sweet.

    So what are people's plans? Saving all of the DSBs to open at Prime? Opening some/all of them asap? Trying to coordinate a Twitter #DSB "opening time" for everyone prior to PAX Prime?

    I'm a little concerned that any I order will not arrive by Prime now. Hopefully they do though so I will actually have something to trade...

    Yeah, it bugs me that the merch team is pushing it close. Why didn't they just sell the DSBs after the first delay and hold Core 2.0 off until Prime? :eh:

    Anyway, US residents shouldn't have a problem getting the package, but Aus is a different story. There's 2 weeks between the pin launch and when most people leave for Prime. Your best bet might be to find a Pinpal here who lives in the Seattle area who could easily bring your package to PAX for you.

    I think a mass-opening in the Friday morning merch line would be really cool. It doesn't have to be the entire haul; a couple boxes per person would still be a lot of fun.

    If any foreign friends need a pin mule, I can volunteer as tribute. I could possibly carry 1-2 people's blind boxes... if they don't order 20 each :)

    If there's an Aus person putting an order in and not wanting 50 boxes, can I sneak a small order in with you (and also a trading bag)? I won't be around for the drop.
