I'm there all 5 days. I am just pretty busy with work on Thursday. Also, PeteParker, 5pm sounds good to me. Do you think that will be early enough to score our Hasbro goods?

Symbiote · 07-10-2012, 05:38 PM

Trainwreck and Pete: I think I'm going to start my trek down there around 2 and I'm about 15 minutes away from downtown. Badge pickup tomorrow starts at 3. I'm wondering if ppl will pick up their tickets at 3 and then start forming their own line for the hasbro stand until the main room opens at 6. IDK, what do you guys think?

Trainwreck · 07-10-2012, 05:41 PM

I must get my Hasbro toys tomorrow. I'll stand in line however long I guess. I have a professional badge, so my pickup is in a different location, and possibly at a different time.

Trainwreck · 07-10-2012, 08:35 PM

Peteparker has my number. Shoot me a text tomorrow in the early afternoon and lets coordinate.

Symbiote · 07-10-2012, 09:49 PM

I got Pete's number too. I'll contact him in the morning. Sooo excited!!!

So stoked for this!

Train wreck and Venom,

I know you guys aren't listed on Friday, but will you both still be in the area? I'd like to have all available Arkers together at some point in gaslamp, round of shots on me (for those who drink) and a group pic at the very least to represent the Ark.

I will be with Symbiote so those of you who have his number can either get mine from him or IM me directly, otherwise if you reach him on Friday you've reached us both.

See y'all Friday!

Trainwreck · 07-11-2012, 12:38 AM

Yup I am there all week. Just need to go to meetings/interviews for work on Thursday so I'm basically out that day.

SOOOO excited! Sounds like in line after badge pick up is what's going to happen... There's 500 people already in line for the Twilight panel Thursday at 12.

It's funny, the lines situation is the same as scalpers, if no one jumped in line hours before the event, no one else would think they needed to, but since they do, everyone feels like they need to stand in line as early as possible! We're our own worst enemies.

Anyway, I believe every preview night badge is available for pick up at 3, and the hall opens at 6. You guys want to wait 3 hours to get in tonight?

Symbiote · 07-11-2012, 10:49 AM

I'm down to spend the 3 hours in line today. Its better than spending 6 the next day.

Trainwreck · 07-11-2012, 02:23 PM

My thoughts exactly Symbiote

Iceman · 07-11-2012, 06:23 PM

Got my badges and I'm pumped for tomorrow. R.I.P. cat lady looking Twilight fan.

jaybird7072 · 07-11-2012, 08:39 PM

wow crazy just read that,,

Symbiote · 07-13-2012, 05:31 PM

What up guys. Greenskar and I were thinking of meeting everyone up at bar basic located on 410 10th avenue at the gaslamp. Its close the convention center and petco park. Meeting up around 9. Hope you guys can make it.

Edited: Sorry running late, more like 9:30

scottmurdock · 07-17-2012, 09:10 AM

How did it go guys? I got pulled away with family, off-site, and chartity stuff. I spent ZERO hours at the hasbro lines. Couldn't get in Thursday & Friday, nothing left Saturday & Sunday LOL.

Greenskar · 07-17-2012, 10:02 AM

It went like this on Friday night

(Amongst the guys Left to right: Greenskar, Trainwreck, Symbiote and Peteparker)

I had a blast. It was a pleasure meeting those of you who made it out. I look forward to hopefully a bigger turnout of Arkers next year!

scottmurdock · 07-17-2012, 10:49 AM

Color me green(skar) with envy (see what I did there?). I hope to meet you guys next year. I hope everyone had a great Con. My wife and I sure had a blast!

Sweet IM shirt, BTW, bro!

How about a Toyark button or badge slip next year? With the artists and customizers we have on this site I'm sure we can come up with something.

Greenskar · 07-17-2012, 12:30 PM

Dude I'm down for Toyark representation especially if we can get more Arkers to join in at some point. We'll all have to have a brainstorming session through one of these threads.

I snagged an extra masters of evils pack. PM me if you need it.

scottmurdock · 07-17-2012, 04:46 PM

@Sym - You're the man! My cousins did the line ride this year and they scored me an MoE. Thanks so much for thinking of me; I'm sure there are many 'arkers that weren't as fortunate as me so I'll give them a shot...but if no one wants it...

Looks like you guys had fun. My wife missed all day Friday because she wasn't feeling well so I ended up leaving the convention early to take care of her and the little one. She was looking forward to it a lot actually since Comic-Con is not really her speed. Next year for sure. I did get to meet Rob (symbiote).

Hasbro line was impossible on Thursday but I put in a few hours on Friday and got tickets. They were actually slowly letting people in who didn't have tickets Friday afternoon. Not sure what the deal was but it was like a bouncer only letting in one or two people even though the line inside was very short. Went super fast once I got there but no X-Force packs. I had to do some favors to score one but I had planned on getting extras for people.

Wow! I wish I could spend zero hours in line. Instead, I believe I spent about 60, lol.

Sad I missed you, Iceman! Wanted to thank you in person for the Dark Galactus of back in the day.

Maybe next year!

It was SO fun hanging out with like-minded individuals! Big thanks to Greenskar and Symbiote for mapping out the night. It was a blast, and we felt it the next day for sure.

See you all next year!
