DSF has made it very clear that saving places in line or cutting in line will not be tolerated - if you're caught, not only will you be kicked out, but the person who "saved" your spot will be kicked out too. The collectors that have been going to DSF for years are very watchful and security has no problems escorting you off the premises or at least to the end of the line.
its threads like these that start the massive hysteria and the 2 night camp outs lol. Why even create it? Who cares what time we all get there! Lets just all look out for the DSF post on Facebook and see what they say and take it from there..geeeezz
And they've actually enforced this and gave a crap when? Um, never. I've been cut in front of, watched people leave and come back, etc. DSF does what they can. But I almost garauntee you that if they say no line ups until 8pm, people will cut at 8pm. For this much money, people just don't care. Even if you do an "unofficial" line, the security guards are told not to honor it. It's first come first serve at the posted time. I have followed to rules and the rules always let you down.
If they do anything like the Valentines Day Chocolate Boxes release it will be interesting. They cut the line off allowing people to come way later and get them, then they cut it off again and let people that came the morning of get them. Like 14 people that came morning of got those pins because of the line cut offs and people not returning on time.
I really hope they limit it to 1 set per person and say the line opens at 6am Saturday. That way you can get there without traffic jams crazy road raged driving. I highly doubt you'll have 300 people there at 6am so the inflow will be somewhat controlled after the initial line up. Some will go to WDI instead also so that will help thin it out. No campouts! and no hype!! Tell security to move people along at 6am and no "un-official" line next to budget-rent-a-wreck. Wander Hollywood if you want to come early, waste your time in the cold. Line ups at 6am!!!!
What day will you be lining up for this release. This goes as to when Dsf tells us when. I heard already crazy rumors some had said today.
This thread does nothing good for the pin community...
Let's just say that this release is going to be so bad that I won't be there. For the folks who know me that's saying something.
There used to be a group of people that hyped DSF releases just to panic people to try to come so they'd sell out. Knowing that sell outs would make them more desirable. This release is good enough to hype itself without anyone egging it along. These threads usually had one saying 8am, then oh, 8pm, then oh, you'll miss, so 6pm, then 3pm, then "Live from Hollywood" starts at 1pm and everyone rushes from work and the line is full by 2:30pm. When it comes to releases like these it's all who is the first gullible person with either no job or enough vacation time to go however early. Then word gets out it's started and the dominos fall.
They do enforce it because Jesse came to keep me company and he wasn't allowed to even stay in line with me because he came later and wasn't buying pins. He ended up letting him stay (and yes he did leave and no he did not purchase pins) and left early for work before the 7AM no more sleeping bags rule.
I use to be one of those that did "Updates" from the line up..and i look back at it now and wouldn't do it again. First off, it causes people to look at their phones while driving!! BIG NO NO! :drool: . I say, people should just get there when they can, no need for "live updates"..it just adds to the panic and commotion.
So they did let him stay eventually, doesn't that kind of prove they don't really follow their own rules? I know, he didn't actually buy pins. He's honest. I understand you just wanted company while in line. I don't see anything wrong with that. But not everyone are as honest as you ugys. I suppose the unofficial order of buyer sheet of paper helps with that...although...Which brings me to my next point, and not directed at you guys, so please don't take offense.
So now, we as a pin community, have decided to take it upon ourselves to say who is in line and where they are on a sheet of paper. Yet, we all know someone left for X number of hours and came back at the chocolate box release and people covered for them. So how does that piece of paper even mean anything? Noone is willing to call said person out in the open on the forum. I'm sure if I did I'd get an infraction or some ban or something just like last time I called out a cutter. Apparently even the thread of an angry mob of people standing in line for hours on end isn't even enough to scare some people straight. There is no way to keep people honest at these releases. People without morals will go to any lengths to get what they want or to make money. I don't get how people think they are above others that common sense doesn't apply to them. Greed has many faces I guess. I just hope DSF comes to some sort of conclusion about how they will do releases that forces it to be fair for all. Until they do, we all get to play the guessing game of how, when, who.
As for your comments on the chocolate box release, we do not know who you're referring to nor do we really care (as things are in the past and nothing can be done now but improve on how releases are handled), but they explicitly told us that we were allowed to leave the line for bathroom breaks AND lunch breaks. Granted, who knows how long they'll let you eat lunch/dinner, but you were allowed to leave for hours just not something ridiculous, like say half a day.
Yolo.
