    I won't be able to make it to Prime but that Fallout and Doom pin look SWEEEEEEET, wants it!

    Speaking of, is it better to get the Polygon first thing in the morning or try and get one of the demo pins?

    Did we ever get any clarification on how things were going to work in the morning this year? There were some very cryptic statements made weeks ago making it seem like no would would be able to line up or something, but no actual explanation was ever given to my knowledge.

    Paging Dr. @Beker ...

    Merch Booth Lite is the way to go for the morning. Regular merch will open at 10am like Expo and only hold the regular items.

    I've never felt the need to try and get a pin at an event I wasn't going to... until I saw those Banner Saga pins. I must get them....

    And Merch Booth Lite is in the hotel.

    Has this been confirmed though? Because here are Beker quotes from July:

    With no Queue room, and likely south lobby (where merch historically is) being closed until 10, we aren't sure how the morning merch rush will be run as of yet
    Beker wrote:
    As far as me labeling it a rush, you all don't have to rush to that first thing in the morning. Really, that bit is entirely up to you whether its a rush or a stroll. If we decided to have it at main merch in south lobby again, and have that not open until 10am with everything else, should not take you an hour waiting in the merch line to get processed. You usually had to wait an hour before because you were able to get in line at 8am when south lobby opened, but merch did not open until Brian had his coffee, which was usually closer to 9am.

    Those statements made it sound like there would be no merch sold (or anyone lining up for expo) anywhere until 10am, at which point there would be a mad rush for everything (panels, expo lines, and LE merch) at the same time.

    They've given us quite a bit of info where I feel there's no need to worry about any of that. Lines for panels will still be at their respective theaters. If you check the schedule, the only theater that you need to go through the 4th floor to reach (the Chicken Theater) doesn't have any panels starting until 11am at the very earliest, and none of them are really high demand (so no need to rush).

    As for expo lineup, it's been confirmed that there are two entrances: an annex-side one (the line probably starts on the Annex 4th floor), and a WSCC/Main Merch side one (which I would guess would start in Freeway Park a la Friday mornings of PAX past). So early expo goes can line up in either of those lines to get into expo at open.

    Finally, the problem that I feared the most for (how would we line up for merch before 10am?), is now resolved through the introduction of the Merch Booth Lite on the first floor of the Sheraton. While we don't have exact confirmation on the time that Merch Lite is opening, I would assume it'll be at 9am like all Merch Lites (and pre-Prime '15 Merch Main) had done in the past.

    TL;DR: Go to theater in the morning for panels; go to one of the expo lines in the morning for expo; go to sheraton lobby in the morning for LE merch.

    Oh god, if anyone going wouldn't mind grabbing an extra Pip Boy pin! >< I needs it!

    Anyone know what the Star Wars pin actually requires you to do? It says 'pre register.' Does that mean pre order, or is it something different?

    I think "pre-register for the game" = This is a incentive to pre-order the game such as getting a figure for preordering x game... I could be wrong but I don't think I am but I hope I am.

    Maybe it's just one of those things where you type your email into their iPads?

  • KurpavKurpav Registered User regular
    The Rayman pin was one of the first pins I remember getting for pre-ordering. Everybody I talked to that didn't want the game just ordered, got the pin, and went off to cancel the order somewhere else.

    Yup I don't think anyone else did the pre-ordering thing after that.

    Do people typically pick up multiples of the pins at the shop (the Prime set and the LE pin)? If so, would anyone be willing to trade those 5 for ones from a previous PAX (e.g. East 15's core set + polygon)? Just curious.

    @Chubby Bunny I assumed that was the norm cuz that's what I was planning to do (money allowing to see how many copies I can get so I make no promises in advance)

    Cool. Does it make sense for me to just see who has extras up on their digital lanyards? I have tons of extras from previous PAXen just for this reason.

    The statements I made that you quoted were when I suspected they might have a merch lite, but that had not been announced yet. Here's the updated deets as of today.

    Just like at East and South, Merch Lite will be the only place to get the Limited Polygon Pins.
    The rest of the merch is planned to be split between the two Merch Stores, at least to start. As stock shrinks they might consolidate.
    They are shooting to open at 9am. New things always take some adjustment.
    It will be in the Sheraton Lobby 1st floor, to the right as you are facing the front desk near some conference room there. Scout it out Thursday if you want so you know where to go.

    Main Merch will have everything except Polygon Pins
    It will open at 10am when the show doors open.
    It will be located in the usual Prime Merch location, 4th floor south lobby across from 4A entrance.


    There are some sweet new shirt designs that will be making their debut at both Merch's this year, and they might go fast.

    How will the lines be forming at the Sheraton? Will we be in the lobby, or snaking around the block?

    Merch Lite opening at 8 means I have time to get polygons and still get a good spot in the queue line for expo :mrgreen: Only downside is waking up early, but that's what caffeine is for, right?

    I planned to get up at 8, so what is an hour early? Hey we all could meet up and keep each other company till it opens?

    Also is there a way to check the prices of things prior to PAX? Ex: LE Polygon, shirts, prints, what the different stores are charging (probably harder to know), etc. I assume the 4 set is like every 4 set.

    BrushwoodMutt on
  • aleph0aleph0 Registered User regular
    Core Set is $30, LE Polygon is $15, and I think shirts are $20.

  • LazorzLazorz Tokyo, JPRegistered User regular
    The Merch banner is usually released a week or so before the show, and that will give you detailed prices on everything.

    The earliest people are typically in line (if they can be) by 6. ;) Just sayin.

    They have stated they won't be at Prime like they had expected. Too busy finishing up the game.

    Is this the game game for the Commander Bragh Pin?
    I think it does have a September 2015 release date when you google it. Anyone know if you can every cancel an order on goggle play store if the pre-register has a starter bundle with in-game items?

    I love TF2, but I don't love the style of the pins for it, I'm afraid. So I'm passing up on those, unfortunately. There's a grab bag of neat stuff I'd like to get a hold of here though, I'm gonna have to buy a bunch of pins at PAX Aus this year to secure things like a Pip Boy and a diamond block. Actually, the Banner Saga pins are very nice too.

    30:35 is when they say the reply but I don't think there is a way to see chat. 32:30 is when they say that they wore talking about the penny arcade pins and then said they won't have a booth a few seconds later

    Edits:when I put the link in, it put the video but I think it was doing their live stream not the VoD I was trying to link, might just be me messing it up

    They posted a reply on Twitter that they would have the 3rd pin at the next Pax that they attend, so maybe South?

    The pin quest has begun. It's actually not as bad as I thought - I should be able to get them all, except for the stupid Twitch one. I love the Bethesda, Double Fine and MS ones.

    Dunno, there will be a line, should be easy to find as it will likely start near the Booth, I have faith you will find it.

    The only pins I really NEED are the Banner Saga pins. If someone would be willing to snag them, I go to PAX East every year (and possibly South) and would have no problem getting some pins from there (or just pay for them assuming you can buy them).

    PM ME!!!

    Yes sad news, Mot is getting out of the pin game.
