Bobcats have started shipping! I'm among the first this year again, and this is the second West that I've lived at my current location. I wonder if it's related and not quite as random as I previously thought.

This is quite early, still 6 weeks out. I'm happy with that of course.
But the important question... When do I get my blanket...?! I hope to be able to bring it with me
My first and last name start with letters in the middle of the alphabet. I heard a theory that it was based on badge count? My group got enough that I only had to purchase for myself.
I've heard they ship them based on distance from ReedPoP, which is in Connecticut I think.
I also wonder if this is just "because they could" or if it's to reduce the scalping prices you see. Since more people with badges in hand means more people trying to get rid of extras. And that is easier when you have 5-6 leisurely weeks instead of 2.

According to FAQs:
But I can't tell you about lines. Good luck. Can't be as bad/stressful as buying them?

If you're able to make it to will call on thursday, I highly recommend it. I had to do will-call last year and just went when I landed Thursday morning and just walked up to the window and got my passes.
Looks like they are doing PSX style scanning of badges with rewards. But with a QR code instead of NFC.
The site to register your badges isn't live yet though(PAXXP.com).

I have been doing Will Call now foe a few years. Never really had a problem going on the Thursday, but I tend to go early so that I can do stuff around Seattle or go over to the Microsoft open house. In general the will call lines arent bad at all kn Thursday.
Prime: '10, '11, '12, '13, '14, '15
West: '16, '17
East: '14, '15, '16, '17
South: '15, '16, '17, '18
Same experience here. I do will call every year and i pick them up on thursday during lunch and lines are always super short
They did this at East. There are sponsored prize scanners scattered throughout the convention that you can go up to and scan once a day to see if you won what is in the display box.
Nope. They ship separately. My badge arrived today.
I want my blanket xD
I live in Oregon as well, should receive mine Monday hopefully!!!
I don't fly into Seattle until a bit after 5PM. Doubt I'll make it there in time. Guess I'll try to get there nice and early Friday Morning.
