You will likely either end up with a lot of Behemoth spares, or have to do some trading to make up complete sets since they are random it sounds like. just fyi.
Yeah, I'd be careful promising people full sets of the new Behemoth pins -- you never know what the chonku is going to give you and you might not find enough people to trade with to make up dozens of full sets.

If I recall at Prime last year, the latest series was not random - they had a specific machine for each new pin. The Series 1 and Series 2 pin machines though were random

East last year was random. I needed 14 pins total so I bought 14, put away the ones I was keeping, and then traded the rest with the crowd around the machines. Only took about 10 minutes to get all the pins I needed.

Now that you mention it yeah, I remember East '14 was random. I wonder if they changed it for Prime since there was only 2 new pins or what
I've never had trouble quickly and easily trading away dupes with other chonkers at the machines, so which it is possible there can be an issue, I'm confident it won't be a big deal in the end. Worst case I have the whole weekend and the trading event line to finish off any incomplete sets.

They had separate machines for each set and they even had a guy standing next to the machines specifically holding Honey Hug and Cupcake. I was able to flat out buy those instead of using the machines.

Another year of Prime gone by... commence the struggle!

I had the same experience ... I was so happy not to deal with the random machines!

Lack of random means lack of trading, lack of interactions. Sad Pedro face.
There is no tax for PAX purchases, so the $30 core will be $30. However, if you use PayPal, there will be fees. So keep that in mind. Google Wallet might be diff.
As for Behemoth- at Prime they did have separate machines, but the pins inside WERE NOT the right ones. I wanted a S1 pin, and kept getting S2 pins. Even though the machine was marked S1. Sooo yea. The guy was AWESOME tho, and helped me once I showed him that the machine was labeled wrong. He took the S2 ones back from me, and let me try again to get an S1. That cycle happened a few times before I finally got an S1.
Keep in mind, per the original post, Frostbyte is *ONLY* accepting Google Wallet. The reason has less to do with fees and more to do with the speed of funds becoming available.
Yeah. We love fine does in fact charge sales tax. That's why for my proxy I mistakenly charged taxes on all purchases and partial returns are a pain so oops.
hey @Frostbyte hit up the whatsapp chat when you head to the behemoth machine to start your mad farm. I am sure myself and other pals need multiple sets as well and the more of us that are there with large sets to get the better (for tradsies)

Good idea, will do!
Worst comes to worst I'm sure some of us will have extras of some and just swap to get complete sets.
One week left! I have been contacted by 16 people so far, but there are a ton who expressed interest in the thread, but have not yet sent me a PM with an official order:
I'm assuming that some of you may be in groups, and that's why you didn't PM me after the info was posted. But if you are not, and want in on this, the clock is ticking
Unless he was planning on doubling up @callmegar joined my pin pal group. So I will be getting him pins. Don't wanna speak for him though, but he may have not ordered after getting placed in a group.
So, apparently Harmonix released a tweet saying that their pin will be for sale at their booth. If people who have already ordered and paid want to add that to their existing order, just send another $15(1)/$30(2). Your name is attached to the Money Send, so I will know which orders to add them too as they roll in.

I appreciate the offer to proxy and I was initially interested, but I'll have to pass this time around because I'm GOING TO PAX EAST! WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO! I'll see all you friends there bright and early in line!
I'm not really sure where to post this, but maybe this is the best place since it's East-related? Here's my situation:
I'm Enforcing every morning next weekend, so I won't have any time to grab one of the LE pins before they sell out. I was wondering if anyone here would be kind enough to buy an extra one and then we could meet up and I'd pay you for it. Please let me know!
(And sorry if this is clogging your thread, Frostbyte. You're doing awesome work.)

I think we will be able to sort something out for you.
For my own sanity, I'm making midnight tonight (Pacific Time) the deadline to get an order in.
Thanks!
Any chance for a confirmation list? Also, let me know if you want me to toss in an extra $10-$20 to help cover any excess cost for the We Love Fine sales tax stuff.
Pins for trade!
