Wherever I am right now...


Okay, so after a really long title which I hope grabbed some attention, I have a VERY serious problem. If you know me, you probably know that above anything else is my obsession with the video game Kingdom Hearts. Well, the next title in the series, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix will be coming out on Sept. 10 BUT Square Enix and Disney are hosting a pre-launch party in Downtown Disney in Anaheim, CA on Sept. 8 (this Sunday).

Here is a quick rundown of the event from the official Kingdom Hearts Facebook page:


The event will last from 12 pm - 6 pm right next to the ESPN Zone and there will be a bunch of fun stuff to do. That's not why I need help, I need help with specifically 2 bullet points I'll address below:

• Get FREE an exclusive KINGDOM HEARTS poster to early attendees, not obtainable anywhere else! Posters are available in limited quantities.

I don't know the LE size, but a poster will be given out to the first few attendees. I do not know what the poster will look like, but I have a hunch and I am VERY interested in the poster. I'm assuming they will have a bunch of them, but they say the "first few attendees" in case they run out (which they will). If anyone can show up and snag me one I'd be oh so grateful.

The second, VERY important bullet:

• Win apparel, pins, action figures, official merchandise and other goodies signed by KINGDOM HEARTS game director Tetsuya Nomura! Winning is contingent on purchase of the game.
Click to expand...

I have wanted something (anything) signed by Tetsuya Nomura (the creator of the series) since I first started collecting KH merchandise close to a decade ago. He rarely ever signs things (until this year :lol and now he has signed a whole bunch of stuff but they have been given away in raffles and I have never been fortunate enough to win something (the chances are very slim considering how many people enter these events). If anyone can go and win something by any chance signed by him, I don't know what I'd do. Seriously, that's an open-ended question because I have no idea what I would do if I could own something signed by him. I guarantee they won't have a lot though (they might have 3 or 4 pieces AT MOST signed by him, definitely not all the things they have mentioned).

JUST AS IMPORTANT, the way they specifically address "pins." I have a feeling that a new KH pin might be released at the event. In the past 2 years, 1 KH pin has been released by Disney each year around the months of August-September. This would be the perfect time and I don't see what other "pins" they would be talking about since all other KH pins have been discontinued and sold out. If a new Kingdom Hearts pin is released there, regardless of its LE size, it is automatic HOLY GRAIL in my book since Kingdom Hearts comes before anything in my eyes.

If anyone is attending or can quickly drop by to try and help me out with the pins, posters, SIGNED STUFF please let me know. I just left CA today and I'm quite upset after reading about this event but I had no choice considering college starts on Thursday.

Thank you every for reading through this long post but I really need help :lol:

I will try and get the poster for you if I can, but I'm not sure about the pins and other things because it says you have to buy the game in order to have a chance to win those. It sounds like an interesting event thanks for letting us know
 
Noooooooooo, I am feeling exactly the same way you described. Please if anyone could do this for me? I wold give you the money to buy the game for me, as I am planning on buying it and some of the merchandise is contingent on purchase.

Why, why, why does this happen exactly before I go to CA? I'm going to be crushed if I don't get anything from this event.

Please help me also if anyone can! Please!

Secondary to Kuoo of course since this is her thread. (sorry to jump on the wagon with your post).
 
Wow, you have to purchase something in order to win something?! Sounds a bit weird.

I'd help if I could Kupo & Mahrii, but I'm flying out of town that weekend UGH!
 
I'll most likely be working but I can get it off i must go!!! I'll try to help u out Matt. Hopefully it won't be impossible to win stuff, but I feel like I'm pretty bad with raffles haha
 
I need to buy the game a year, so if so e one can puck it up for me I can paypal money to purchase game and extra for ti e and trouble.
I would love any swag possible.
 
I make no promises, however if I go (my boyfriend might want to) I will see what it is that I can pick up
 
I am going! can you buy more then one game at a time? If you can I'll be your pick-up Mahrii!

I can't make promises for extra ins and stuff though, I may not be as outspoken as others but Kingdom Hearts saved my life many years ago, so if I can only get one or something I'm not giving it up!

I'm going to see if I can convince a few of my friends to go so that way we can get extras and stuff.
 
Ah! Thank you everyone so much!!! PLEASE keep me updated :x: I also just saw that you have to purchase the game to be entered in the raffle so if anyone needs to, I'd be willing to pay them back since it comes with the artbook and theme (both of which I need as well). I think they will limit the game to 1 per person since they will try to crack down on people reselling the game days early and with the Dream Drop Distance event in NY I went to, they also did a 1 per person limit on the game and collector's edition.

PLEASE keep me updated everyone, I cannot wait and I'm so nervous over this awesome event. I really wish I could go >___<
 
FYI: On a KH FB group, at least 600 people have RSVP'd their "YES" to attending.

and the best part is that not nearly that amount will :lol: Perhaps the West Coast will fare better but there have been 2 Kingdom Hearts launch parties in NYC with a huge turnout, but the turnout was maybe 300 at best when over 700 people were planning on attending. In the UK, they had a meet up at Square Enix's official headquarters and only allowed 50 people to get tickets. Of those 50, less than 10 actually showed up <_< I have a feeling some people will just click "yes" but then forget about it (I'm hoping that happens haha).
 
I live in the south bay beach area about 30-40 min from disneyland. I can get there with my hubby, but he has work until 10 so I need to either find a way back or wait until his shift is over lol
 
I hate to ride the coattails of this convo, but if anyone can possibly get me a poster from the event, I'd be very happy to work something out for it! (I already have the game preordered, I just need the poster!!)
 
Shamelessly bumping this just to let everyone know that in 45 minutes I can officially say that this event takes place tomorrow (EST time at least)!!!! Also as a reminder to anyone who is attending or planning on attending
