Plenty of pics to come. My first stop is DKE. Hopefully I will ba having someone post an update late Thursday. My intention is to get what I need right of the bat. I'll see what the deal is with those other cool Buds. If I have some spare cash I'll pick up a few for the board. Talk to you soon.

good luck , eric !!!!

Fingers Crossed Eric! Good Luck Bro!~

SWEET RIDE! I was going to get one of those, but due to doing guitar shows all over the East Coast, I had to get a truck, hence the 2010 Army Green FJ Cruiser.

Have a safe ride bro, and thanks for trying to help us out!!

Eric wrote:Like I said, I spoke to DKE and I'll hope he'll let me have what I need. If not I'll start to have people get them. I'm pretty hopeful. Check out the toygodd column at http://www.aftimes.com/atoygodd/toygodd.shtml for a pic of the car!

hope you have a ton of fun eric, and many thanks again for trying to hook us up!

Mendez Thu Jul 22, 2010 9:12 pm

Good luck Eric. A friend of mine was going to see if he picked up a set and just told me

"Stopped by DKE last night, buds weren't there yet and I was told these will be sold on a lottery basis with 1 bud per person! Sounds like it's going to be really tough"

It saddens me to miss out on these sick BUDs violent2

That blows.

Donwoo2 Thu Jul 22, 2010 9:34 pm

I agree it kinda sucks for people that were willing to plan and make the buds a priority in their comic con experience. However maybe this means some people will get a chance to buy one that otherwise would not have been able to. Spread the love around a lil more! cherry

I agree, I'm just not a fan of lotteries. Someone was gonna hook me up with a set, and now there's a chance that they won't even get one single bud for themself. I hate that shit.

yup. Hopefully Eric has success and one of you lucky bastards will sell me a set. violent

Hopefully because Eric contacted them before hand it will be all good~

Lotteries usually mean that they just end on eBay with an even more inflated price. Evil or Very Mad

I smell horsepoop

Donwoo2 Fri Jul 23, 2010 4:43 am

maybe lottery was false alarm? My buddy just picked up the set for me, he just had to wait until they came in...

That's right, as of 5pm today DKE started selling the pair for $90 cash. Here's mine (and yes they do come with firecrackers)

I don't know if they've sold out yet.

84tigers Fri Jul 23, 2010 7:17 am

Damn.

I can't get over how sick those are. I doubt I'll ever get my hands on those... I bet aftermarket prices will be insane.

BigC Fri Jul 23, 2010 7:19 am

You had to get on a list ahead of time and there was a one set limit.

BigC Fri Jul 23, 2010 7:21 am

Erick really tried. Ferg did too. Big props to both of you guys.

Mikeyk Fri Jul 23, 2010 8:08 am

MAN THOSE ARE SICK! Congratulations to those who got one.

kevbayer Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:44 pm

So Eric was unsuccessful?

fender Fri Jul 23, 2010 4:49 pm

Sounded to me like he was successful they might have just gave him a hard time. First 50 sets were sold without lottery so if he was there at open I guess he got them all.

I dunno. Getting nervous until I hear something official.

I hope he got all the sets for you guys! DKE's running a business, I dont think they would want to ruin a setup deal that would get them 24 buds sold instantly.

Thats less stress for them, I think everyone that wanted them is safe.
