DSF/DSSH Live from Hollywood....Postcards release!
Sounds like the good definitely outweighed the bad.

D23 Minnie in red. She looked so adorable I had to have it. I bought it from a sorcerer ticket holder but wasn't able to arrange pick up at D23 before she went on vacation so we made plans to meet up at DSSH (instead of her shipping it). I'm sure it could have been cheaper after D23, but I had already pre-paid the $135 for it so, it was like, pay $20 to ship to me or just pick up when I'm down there. LOL

Ours were purple... We were about 40 people from the end of the line which ended with 10-20 people standing on Highland (so it ran from the DSSH alley to the far end of the block and back - for those not familiar with the area.) My daughter pulled a number in the 600s, but I got lucky with a good number, so the trip down to DSSH was not a waste (since I did not have any trades set up this time). This was the most people I have ever seen at a release, and so many went away from this one disappointed. Since I have left these releases disappointed, I related with the +301 crowd a bit too well. :sad:

This is the first release I've been to in a while but back when I went, they pulled numbers one at a time. This time, she pulled out a handful of numbers and started passing them out.

They've been doing that.. this entire year (since i've started going). I thought that was the standard haha It def goes faster that way than just one by one, I guess

True but the whole thing about checking the back of the voucher was worthless. Everyone saw the back of the voucher as it was handed to them. So the DSF person pulling all the numbers out of the bin basically "controlled" who got the special surprise.
 

Oh yea, I definitely agree with that. Too bad I guess

ok so i wasnt the only one who thought that. lol
 
Sounds like this one was kinda unfun, I wanted to go but I had to do an outpatient surgery on Friday, I'm really liking the ones coming out on 9/9. Glad to see many people still keep a really positive attitude about it regardless of the outcome. ^_^

I have a newbie question when it comes to these releases. I've seen some people post numbers over 300 that are considered good numbers but if the pin is LE 300 and one per person doesn't that mean they won't get a full set? And if the pin is two per person wouldn't it mean any number over 150 isn't really that great?
 

If you're within the first 10 after the last "good" number, people tend to stick around because perhaps DSSH miscounted and put too many #s into the bin or people miss their turn. So, some people will at least end up with a pin or two.

I agree... At the Lion King and Postcards, the DSSH staff member had a handful of the lotto cards and just pulled them out of her hand. Definitely one way to speed up the process, but perhaps not as random or fun? On Saturday, my friend received a face up card (high number) which had been handed to another individual who handed it back (since the person received 2 cards.) So everyone saw the # before my friend was handed it next. I thought this was pretty unfair too. It seems like the card should have been throw totally back into the randomness of the barrel and a fresh card passed to the next person (ie, my friend).

She's been doing that for the last at least 3 or 4 releases. Maybe more. Always results in both of us getting crap numbers.
 


That has happened to me twice. she pulls the numbers. they are all or most are face up she looks at them as everyone in front looks at them. she throws a few back and hands out the rest. then sometimes she flips them over and pretends like it never happened.

or they go to mc donalds come back quick see that the line moved 10 people so they take their time. line picks up speed and bam they are running down the sidewalk trying to squeeze through all the people just standing in the middle yelling im here im here.
 

LOL. Is that you?

Anyhow, I haven't been to DSF since the Avengers Age of Ultron release too (I did horribly then as well). Didn't the bin used to be covered in some type of leather/cloth cover so the DSF employee couldn't "see" the numbers, just the scraps of paper?
