[JAN 14 2011]MEDIUM WAR / Squadt Show / FERG @ Rotofugi, Chicago IL

i need a favor: if you are in Chicago and you have the retailer Oprssr squadts(gassed and rovr) I need to borrow them for the show retrospective. for whatever reason they didn't make it into the box that was shipped to roto. If you can deliver them to rotofugi before the show, i will flow a target print for your trouble.

pm me if you can make this happen.

I am sure you will be covered once ppl see ur post, ferg.

IF not, one of us out-of-staters can overnight one to roto if needed!!

I would haha.

Let's go SQUADT legions, got to back up our general.

i'll do you a solid and go in your place... selflessly giving up my spot at the show.
i will somehow manage to live with the guilt and regret... =p

seriously, sucks you won't be able to make it to the opening. but luckily, it should
still be here when you get back (the exhibit part, not the ferg part.)

...

and if i had them, i'd certainly lend them to you, boss-man. hopefully someone else
around here has a set to lend you.

its covered, thanks BTYHP.

Are the prices on prints set yet?

And are they exclusive to the show, or will we be able to pick those up later?

i love this board!

see you tomorrow night Ferg

I am curious about the availability of the show exclusive Squadt. This is the first show that had an exclusive I cared about getting. I am wondering if there is really any chance there will be remaining exclusives available by 3:00pm EST on Saturday? Do show exclusives typically sell out on opening night? Seems to me there is a lot of interest in this one but I have no basis for comparison so I thought I would ask those that have been around longer.

Thanks for any insight!

IT DOES START ON FRIDAY.

i thought we would see a preview today. I guess I will have to see the customs, when i go grab my ticket for the show in the morning.

i was hoping to be able to see the customs and rank which ones i wanted, so that i would be ready for the show, since this is a first come first serve basis.

ferg, kirby?

Because we're doing "attendees first" for this exhibit, the preview list members will get the email on Saturday, January 15 at 10am, Central Time. Then we'll take requests for purchases (via email) beginning at 12 Noon.

Exclusives that remain after the opening will be available via our online store on Saturday at 2PM Central Time.

You'll have some time on Friday to look at the exhibit and make choices. We won't make you decide the second you step through the door.

$25 each, edition of 40 per color. They are not signed or numbered but Ferg has given his word that this is a strictly limited edition.

Well, for the Gargamel show Roto just had there were 5 exclusive figures. When they went up in the store 4 of the five were still available. The piece with the highest price point, an exclusive full sized Zag for $100, is still available in their store. Now, I have no idea what the production runs were on these figures, so how fast 100 pieces could of sold out I have no idea, but this is the most recent info on a Roto show exclusive.

So it's $99 for the clean version ~ bp x ferg SQUADT

I know Ferg and Kirby are exremely busy getting ready for the show, but i had a couple questions:

Will Ferg be signing at the event? will there be a limit of signed items? am i the only douchebag bringing a couple of my favorite squadt helmets, hoping to get them signed?

also should we bring our own poster tubes?

i am getting extremely excited for the road trip!!!
