nice pics Irish.

anyone know anything about the efx luke/x-wing helmet? sold out im sure.

When I talked to Brian at eFX yesterday (Sunday) afternoon around 2:00 they still had around 30 left.

Yeah that makes no sense. Part of why I told myself I would not pursue any GG stuff at the con. I did not want to destroy my experience.

I was trying to get one for Deak...and I woke up real early on Friday (the day of teh video I shot) so I can get in line....but after that...I said ____ it.
I mean...I tried but it was impossible.

I agree.

We should have put him in the art line !

The Art Show checkout line was supposedly 4-5 hours long on Thursday!

Somebody's head needs to roll for the way they handled both the art purchasing line and the exclusives like Boba. I wasn't there, and probably wouldn't have been trying for them anyway, but that's just ridiculous. I heard vendors were actually scalping the Bobas at their tables! Talk about a slap in the face!

All Swabbies fault.

Nobody want to know about ur coke problem..... This is a family board.

And, yes, the whole Gentle Giant Boba Fett thing was a total fiasco. I'm quite sure vendors purchased at least 75% of them. I was lucky enough to get one without much of a problem, but the whole thing still sucks and pisses me off, especially since most of you guys got screwed.

Seriously, there was a line of at least 20-30 people (pretty much all vendors) at the Gentle Giant booth each morning around 8:00.

How was that allowed to happen??? Vendors can't do that at SDCC.

Same thing happened at C4. I tried for two mornings straight to get their animated R2 and Yoda and its the only thing my girlfriend (at the time) wanted. The lines were huge and I walked in at 10 am when they opened. I told GG rep off and said "Why don't you handle your exclusives like Sideshow?" That really pissed him off and he made a remark like "We are more exclusive than Sideshow" At least SSC knows how to treat their customers. GG seemed like the "elitist prick" company who couldn't give a ____ about their customers

Yep, like Bam said. Swabie.

Yea well... I'm glad we didn't wait as long as some for art.

 

[Bamboota]

Regardless of the lines, the fiascos, etc... It was a great experience and it was fun to meet my fellow freaks and see all the costumes... The Peter griffin was the best!!! Lol

For real! Meeting you guys and getting to hang out with different friends throughout the day made this convention much more enjoyable!!!

I even met up with Anzik and his son. That was so awesome!!

Yeah dude...Anzik and son are awesome! I'm still sad that the hostess at the party messed them up. :/
