We are going, I just filled out my info. Yay!! Almost time to visit the headquarters and Seattle for the first time.

We wont be there for this one even though we would have loved being part of this opening. It was awesome meeting you at the Pop Up Shop at SDCC 2017. SDCC was a great way to plant the Funko seed into my family. It was also great being interviewed by you Yoko, even though we suck at giving the answers. Only been collecting for about a year now, but and consider ourselves funatics already. We'll make it out to WA one day. Hope everyone has fun!!!!!

Gurl, have you booked your flight yet? And is the hubby coming because I've got a gift for him

Flights only $600 from NYC! The things I do for LOVE (of Funko)! (add jaime pushing bran from tower meme here)

Only $600? My quote is close to $700, Joe

Then again, I'm flying into Portland to see family then driving over.

I really wish I could. This sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But alas, I live too far away.

I can't wait

Again, we aren't promising anything here, just trying to get a head count at this time.

If we ARE able to help Funatics... please keep in mind that this isn't a Funatics only event. Our Grand Opening is a huge deal for the local community and we expect a big crowd. When we figure out a way to help Funatics, we are not going to be able to accommodate families as well- we want to be fair and help as many individual Funatics as possible (allowing everyone even just a +1 means we'd have to cut the number of Funatics we could help in half). There's only so much space in the store and so many hours in the day. We are blown away that so many of you are traveling to attend our opening!

Just something to keep in mind. You'll always have the option to wait with your family or other non-board members in the general line!

If you are planning to attend, please don't just comment in this thread- please RSVP in the form in the first post by Monday to help us with our head count!

We are working so hard to make everything run as smoothly as possible!!

Postby **Chernabog** » Thu Aug 03, 2017 4:34 pm

Entered info but what if you're bringing a person with you? Just wondering how it works

YES! YES! YES

Postby **Chernabog** » Thu Aug 03, 2017 4:46 pm

So if we fill out the form, is it a lottery or how is it going to work?

Postby **thx42** » Thu Aug 03, 2017 4:47 pm

I'm super curious how many people will wind up attending.

Postby **Classier** » Thu Aug 03, 2017 4:48 pm

You bet your bottom dollar I'm coming! I hope it's as much Funko fun as my time at ECCC!

There isn't any official procedure yet. It sounds like it's just a form to get a headcount of Funatics to see what could be possible for a procedure.
