that's just for the gallery pieces, though. the exclusive are still reserved for those of us that show up in person for the pre-show lineup. it seems like the best balance. you can't make everybody happy all the time, right?BloodDrinker6969 wrote:The only thing keeping me from being STOKED is that Roto does pre-sales of the pieces via mailing lists vs. "first come first served, left overs on the web."

ha ha, what you really mean to say is that you want everyone else to feel the same maddening frustration you feel when you can't be at these other shows in personBloodDrinker6969 wrote:That "true fanboy, show up early, wait and shoot the shit all day than pick out IN PERSON an awesome 1 off" experience I've seen in all too many Toybot posts.

I mean, it's not my store/choice, and I understand that they did it from the request of a few artists, but still, it gives me no reason to show openeing day. I am always so jealous of those in SF or NY who get to go to shows early and get something just for being a local. I dont' have a lot of time to sit and wait and than rush to click for something. It's usually done when I'm not online anyway (and I'm not asking for special treatment just for myself or some such nonsense.)
I'd waaaayyyyy rather just take a whole day, hang out in line, have fun, and be able to be one of the first to nab an awesome handpainted figure. There's a sense of community, I think, it builds. As where just tossing them up online a few days early really takes away from the excitement. It's like the BONUS of being a "local" customer.
Just my opinion about it to the folks at Roto. Maybe consider doing no preview for this show, do it "Japan style" where we all line up like horrid nerds and wait (even in Dec.) to be first to handpick what we want in person?
