I'm about to go find some dinner up on Broadway and then some Molly Moon ice cream before turning in to rest up for the mayhem that is day 1.

Blah how do i make it actually display rather than link

Mozleron

You got it to display, but it appears to no longer be a thing that is happening. All they are doing is handing out some strange blue shirts to a bunch of strange people with black badges...

Also, after the blue shirt frenzy died down, I asked and apparently this is a thing that may be happening at various times during the show.

Frostbyte

@odinson83‌ and I drew first blood on Jamie's new pin. We were the first to snag the corgi!

Spent an evening talking with Jeff Kalles and Adam from Ubisoft in the Elephant and Castle. Very chill evening, even with the Seahawks losing at a baseball stadium.

So you tracked him down finally after you went to the wrong pub? :P

Beker

Yea Pinfobooth will only have stuff on display when it is chill. We did set up the "Take a Pinny, Leave a Pinny" board for it though, and Kristin has her awesome blanket. The afternoons when it is quieter will be your best bet for pins at Pinfobooth. But even if you don't see them out, feel free to ask, they are never far.

Ajaxon

I won't be there today due to work (a couple of my co-workers got it off before I had a chance to request it AND THEY AREN'T EVEN GOING TO PAX!!!), but will be there in full force on Saturday and Sunday.

I seriously have never been this excited for PAX.

Beker

8:40 am. First pins sold by merch. They are now in the wild.

Piggo

What time does the Merch booth open usually?

sanchx32

Just got through The Order, pin is not a give all the time, shirt everytime. Pin is random if the guy likes your moustache drawing, he said they had 300...not sure on accuracy, but he was the guy giving them out.

Goddess of Madness

So the whole you'll find free give away pins has been a bust for me so far... And no staff siteings because my phone is effed for twitter. Any newbie advice?

thx42

Some random details (from memory) -

Adventure Time (set of 4 - $30 + tax)
Catbug ($10 + tax)
Creepy Doll ($10)
Wilson ($10)
Red ($15)
Talent Pipes ($15)
Sunset Overdrive (can get from tweeting photo of yourself from their photo booth at Paramount)
Panda Espresso ($15)
Scott Kurtz also had Skull Fart and Bard Rock for $25
Weedontwancha Cats ($15)
The Next Level (you get a passport you have to get stamped, 6 game demos + 2 other booths)

Khraul

So day one was my pin day where I wanted to grab as many as possible and relax a bit the rest of pax... Managed 90% including the LE ten year, iron horde and a bunch of staff pins I didn't expect to get

Good day so far

Still need ETC and garruk (ugh, lines)

Mozleron

When I showed up at the info both at around 9pm or so, I saw six Elspeth and five Garruk pins. If you need those, that is a place to try; once the crowds die down, of course.

Khraul

New garruk?

Frostbyte

Order 1066 is the hard get for the con. Huge pain in the butt. The Next Level is a close second... Annoying that you need to spend so much time doing 7 demos.

Yup, there's a second half to the Garruk pin

Mozleron

Here's my Day 1 haul:

I included all of the older sets because i got them autographed by Mike and Jerry during their signing session today. I still have a lot of work to make sure i get enough for my trading partners, but at this rate, it should be no problem.

Ugh, what? They didn't even look at my drawing. No "golden shirt" for me.

redfield85

Triple Town has a special backing?

sirmrej

How easy hard is it to get wotc and blizzard pins?

Manic2k

from what I can see the iron horde pin looks awesome >.<~!

How did you get the Acquisitions Inc pin already?

Easy if you have time to burn. WotC was 1 hour and 1/2 hour for 2 trips through the line, Iron Horde (WoW demo) was around an hour, ETC (HotS) was a little over 2 hours.

Your mileage may vary.

Mozleron

"I know a guy."

Also, if you go play D&D in the Motif hotel, 4th floor, you can score one.

creid8

Oops, nevermind, just noticed your tag

Friday morning I was able to head upstairs to 6th floor around 9:40, and there was no line at all. Hammered out We Love Fine and 2 free pins (Moonrise and Age of Empires) in about 1/2 hour.

desocietas

8:02a and merch line is now capped, FYI.

Before the show floor opened?

Favorite trade so far: two sketch pins for a gauntlet gophers sketch from tavis.

desocietas

Merch line opened up maybe around 8:45! More time to wait in new lines

Zeushero

I saw the first person go up to the register around 835. So around that time

sirmrej

Has anyone seen a 2014 year stamped Pinny Arcade logo Staff pin? At East 2014 I got a staff pin from line staff, and it was stamped 2013. My brain squirrel wants a 2014 one... (and if anyone has one and wants to trade, PM me)

fishfishmonkeyhat

Onlock managed to wrangle me a kuchera head so that's nice.

Fitzchivalry

My pinny pal Odin is doing an AMAZING job. Constant twitter updates with pics of his loot and hes pretty much got everything I asked for! If you ever want to worj / trade with a dedicated trader he is your man!

Ayefkay

My group is doing great so far. Constantly updating me while i cheer them on from afar. We almost had a pax pox related casualty, however. Stay vigilant everyone, the pox targets everyone.

No, you still had to wait until 10 to go into the expo room proper. There's just no line to wait in.

TheAggroCraig

I'm done outside of staff and Tiamat, but I'm in line for the latter now.
