Cofp....that my friend is stuff of LEGEND!
Your son will remember this day forever.
Kudos man...it is nice to read stories like this then some of the whining that happens on these boards regarding figures.
Real life is soooo much better.

Anyone know where I can catch last nights Jimmey Kimmel episode online?

Went to the red carpet event in Hollywood tonight, what an amazing time. My Son got his Star-Lord helmet and blaster autographed by James Gunn, Michael Rooker, Zoe Saldana, Benicio Del Toro and Bradley Cooper (who by the way spent 10x more time with the fans than anyone else...that guy must have taken 100 selfies with people's cell phones, seriously).

When Del Toro signed his blaster, my Son told him "You can just add that to your collection".

When Bradley Cooper was signing his blaster, my Son told him "that's a fake laugh" but I don't think he heard it or got it. I was so hoping he would have said "IT'S REAL!!"

Anyway, we were down toward the end near where everyone was getting dropped off. They told us that there would be no more people coming so we headed over to where the theater entrance was. On the way in, James Gunn saw us again, HUGE grin on his face, stuck his hand out to shake my hand, and asked if he could get a photo with my Son. This was the highlight of our night.

And Shawn, those pictures are amazing and what an incredible night for you and your son. I showed my two sons those photos and they thought they were great and asked when we could go to California.

Thank you all, it was such a fun night. I just posted a gallery of about 20 photos from last night on my Son's FB page, if you're interested:

Thanks. Also, James Gunn just RT'd the pic of him with my Son on Twitter. Such a cool guy, so glad we got to meet him.

A couple coworkers were lucky enough to attend the premiere last night, both said it's the best Marvel movie they've seen yet, better than TWS from start to finish according to one of them General impression is that it's an entertaining and funny movie, and yep Rocket stole the show as to be expected

THat's awesome. We were really hoping to get to see it last night too, but weren't asked inside. At the WS premiere some friends of mine went dressed as WS and BW, and they were asked if they wanted to see the movie. No such luck last night.

I saw Gunn's pic with the lil Starlord on Facebook and I immediately assumed that was your son given all your posts from the last few weeks. Shame they didn't ask you guys to watch the movie, you'd think taking the trouble to build costumes from scratch for an unknown property would warrant some appreciation from the PR folks there.

Btw if it's any consolation, I was told they didn't show an after credits scene at the premiere last night, so that's a reason to just wait for Aug 1 assuming Marvel held off on showing it at the premiere

Yeah it would have been amazing if that had happened. But, we already had an amazing night. And, I forgot to mention that they handed out the two disc CDs (one is the Awesome Remix Tape and the other is the musical score). So we got to listen to that all the way home.

All Fathers should be like you.Well done.

Indeed. Well done, Cofphoto!

haha FINALLY another Nebula fan.... I thought I was the only one

imo IF they make Nebula it would be the perfect companion piece to Gamora, and then eventually Thanos

So this was taken at the premiere, ridiculous Downey Jr likeness, and Thor looks like a woman with that hair, who sculpts this crap
