In preparation for this weekend, I thought it would be a good idea for us to have a thread where PAX goers can discuss, post photos and brag about all the new and shiny pins they will be getting to those of us who wont be attending.
Any idea which merch booth has more Anniversary pins? Not sure which one to head for tomorrow.
When you enter the convention center, the level 1 merch booth is right in front of you, so it's possible to get in line for that one immediately. They also started selling stuff early, i think it was around 9:00.
If you're heading to the expo hall merch booth, you're going to have to wait in the queue line, til 10 I think. The plus side is that you're already in the expo hall, and can immediately go after other pins.
As far as I know, the anniversary pins were split between the booths. The level 1 booth sold out first, but I think that's because they went on sale earlier.
I arrived at around 7:30 and was around 10th in line at the level 1 merch booth. It would have been worse if I had brought a bag and had to go through the bag check line.
I was towards the back of the level one merch line. I got in line about 8:30. They capped the line at one point and wouldn't let anyone else in, although they tried. It kinda seemed like they knew how many anniversary pins they had and didn't want to say no to anyone so they capped the line. Could be wrong about this. I was towards the end and still got two.
Got in line at upstairs Merch booth at 8:40ish and at 9:45 they sold out of anniversary pins ( with about 5 people on line ahead of me.) Heading for the other booth but my hopes aren't high
Edit: whew, ended up getting one downstairs. Any idea how to spot Leeroy?
I'd love a second Leeroy. My plan tomorrow is to play D&D early, get that pin (my second) and then go for another Leeroy.
I'm actually logging a full day since I'm doing a Magic-themed comedy show at Laugh Boston next to the convention center at 6. You guys should come. It might be one last chance for some end of day trading.
I think I should have a full set of D&Ds now for my group... However my bag finally had its first casualty, as my baby gabe snapped (at least the pin lock did its job)

My pins are right here!
Feel free to send me a trade request!
I had a couple of pins fall off my scarf (recovered, thankfully), so I went to a craft store last night and got plastic earring backs for $2. They work like a charm.

They just started letting people in. There's around 50 people waiting in line at the level 1 merch booth.

Here's what I wound up with at the end of day 1:
Still missing Leeroy, KI Fightstick, Garruk, and D&D.
I'm trying to plan out the most efficient way to get the merch pins.
East sets were $30.
Here's a pic of the price list:

I think it was Of Dice and Men - http://www.amazon.com/dp/1451640501
Not sure why they had it there.
Is this the first year they've replaced the PAX logo magnet with the (I'm assuming) East logo?
Mot if you get a few of those in your pin buying I'd like a set (well, just the East logo one, but watevs).

At this point, it would be through trade. The Acq Inc panel is starting in ten minutes.
