Northern Cali trading/meet up?

[D23family]

Is there anyone interested in doing this once a month? My wife and I live in Santa rosa, but we could host or meet up. Let us know for sure :)

[mnkykng77]

There hasn't been a trade event in a couple of months for the NorCal people. If you set one up I'm sure people will want to go. I also started a thread to post NorCal Meet ups as well, just need to find it, haha

[eiji]

Im from 707, never been to a trade event but would definitely want to go just so I can trade all my doubles lol.

[modnar24]

We're in Windsor. I think I could drag 3 or 4 collectors to an event.

[D23family]

Awesome!!!

[colouredvinyls]

It's nice to see more fellow NorCal people on here! I'd be interested. I'm still pretty new so I don't think I will have many to trade, but it would be nice to meet other traders in the area.

Let's do it :) even if it's over coffee to see what we all have, I'm down to meet everyone in Sonoma county, napa county and surrounding areas. I'm pretty sure we all would love to trade and wouldn't take advantage of anyone.

[mnkykng77]

Just an FYI, there is a possible trade meet up in the works. Trying to get an ok from a location to have it. It will possibly be sometime in March. Keep your eyes open for the updated NorCal trade event thread.

Awesome, I'm game!

I would love to attend

[D23family]

I'd also like to keep this thread open so we can all kind of know what's at our Disney stores. I know there's is a thread for Disney stores, but that's a general one, if we can keep up with our local ones with stock and trader boxes well know what is where. I go to the Santa rosa one at least twice a week, Fairfield every two weeks or so along with concord. Id like to head out to sf at least once a month for exclusives. So if you guys ever need anything where I happen to be that day, pm me and I'll pick up whatever you guys need :).

Good looking out kc! I'll have to run down this saturday with my 25% off coupon.

[Tigertail]

A meet up sounds like fun! Haven't been to one yet. I'm gonna use the 25% off when the Tune series comes out. So looking forward to that! :) The 20th can't come any sooner....

[D23family]

Ok, so update on Santa rosa ds. Trade box is one green hedge hog( I traded for cutesters rain coat because they were going stale) cutesters tuney and u5 argyle-think that's spelled right. Anywho, sets muppets 2 and cutesters atb 5 boxes missing. also, whom ever picked my u5 cup of tea up, I left the card there for you. I told the cm it was for you.

[washyourrhands]

Id love to have a meetup! Sounds like fun!

At the Valley Fair DS there was 2 full trays of muppets 2 along with a tray that was mostly full. They had an abundance of Nightmare Before Christmas Sally and Zero. Also there was a tray mostly full of cutesters at the beach. :D

[Tigertail]

Santa Rosa DS update , Traded CATB Starfish & Seashells for Green Hedgehog . CLY Tuney & U5 Green Argyle still in trade box. :)

[D23family]

Well I'm glad my green hedge hog went to good use :D. I happy he is in a collection rather than my trader box.

[Tigertail]

Yes, thanks I wanted to add him to the rest of my AIW vinyls

[colouredvinyls]

also, whom ever picked my u5 cup of tea up, I left the card there for you. I told the cm it was for you.

That was me. Thanks for leaving it! I was going to head over there in the next few days so I'll ask one of the CMs about it when I go.

Awesome! I'm a man of my word, I actually felt really bad for forgetting it in the first place.

Is anyone going to line up for the 25th anniversary light up set? I'll probably hit up the San Francisco or Concord store for that. Haven't decided yet..

[D23family]

I will for sure. I'm not sure which store I will be at, but when they finally get released I'll know where I'll be at by then.

Thinking about it! What day is it that they do? My friends friend is the shipping manager at the DS at Oakridge in San Jose so she lets us know what series they are getting in :D

[D23family]

Sweet we have an insider lol.

[washyourrhands]

Sweet we have an insider lol.

;)

muahaha

[Tigertail]

I'll most likely be going to SR DS.

[D23family]

Me too tigger just because of release days I'm usually working, but because I'm the boss I think I'll take an hour to myself and pick a box up lol

[Daniel]

From what i've read, it comes out on March 28th. That's a Wednesday :P If you go to a DS in a mall, do they let you into the mall early or do you have to wait outside?

[D23family]

Generally their releases are Fridays or Monday's. And the malls usually open early for mall walkers. I forget if it's an hour or two early. I'm pretty sure the sr mall will only get 3 or 4 cases if we're lucky. Cutesters they got three. I bought one.

[Tigertail]

Ya SR gets only a few. I'll probably get there around right when it opens.

[D23family]

I'm about half way to Disneyland. FYI concord has a2, cutesters atb and muppets.

[D23family]

So update on Disney store sr. Cutesters 6 bb left, a2 5 bb left muppets of course. Trade box, Ty for who ever left the stereo bot, I left a p6 in return, also a green thumb and...thanks for the v2 whoever left that as well. I think a cutester was in there also.

[modnar24]

I work in the mall in SR. Any further talk about an event? We'll be out of town (DLR) for a week (yay!). So I'd ask to avoid the 3rd week of the month. But we might have lots of extra trades when we get back...

[DripMickey]

I'd be up for attending a trade event. Been to 4-5 in the bay area and setup a couple. There's A LOT of great traders in the area. One thing that helps with attendance is letting local DS managers know about the event ahead of time. They usually are pretty good about spreading the word to their VM customers. I know Stewart at the Oakridge mall in SJ does a great job of this.

Please keep us posted on the next event...

[mnkykng77]

So i'm at DLR right now, but there is a tentative date set for March 17. Dstreetvillian has to check with Serramonte management to confirm but we got the ok to have it there. Will up date with a time once fully confirmed.

[D23family]

Next week is out for me, but maybe towards the end of the month. Gives everyone a chance to get some last minute trades done as well as prepare for what we all need. I'm game to meet in sac or San Fran. I think San Fran would be appropriate only because its about an hour and a half from sac, San Jo about the same maybe more like an hour, and about an hour for us Santa rosa and northern peeps. But, I'm game for wherever, so long as we can agree to the last week in march?

[washyourrhands]

San Jose would be best for my friend and I. I will be going to DLR on the 23rd and won't be back till the next weekend.

[Daniel]

I hope it doesn't go down until after March 23rd, that's when I get back from Japan. But I'm down for Sac or SF.

me too. seems like there is some really nice people on here.

[Coaster Rider89]

I would love to attend a Nor. Cal. meet up/trade event. I just don't know if I would be able to drive all the way to the Bay Area for it. It just depends on where it is. Hope to see this happen!

[Daniel]

LOL, I wish I could, but I hear that they are sold out at Tokyo Disney store. But at least I have their cool trading box to look forward to, anyone ever seen it? Anyways, ill be checking periodically for plans on the meet.

[DripMickey]

I could make March 17th at Serramonte food court. Seems to have worked out well there in the past.

[2ndname]

Ooo, we might swing by. Would love to meet fellow vinyl traders.

[washyourrhands]

What city is that in?

[DripMickey]

Serramonte mall is in Daly City. About 10 minutes south of San Francisco.

[D23family]

I heard mall security got mad at the last trade event there? I think someone suggested it before that we buy food or drinks so were not loitering. Or we can just be there, eh who knows. I'll bring all my traders. I have about 60 now, hopefully have more by then.

We had an event at Oakridge Mall that was broken up by mall security since we didn't receive prior approval. That event actually grew to be pretty large (biggest I've been to) with about 20-25 traders + friends. Most of these events have a turn out of 10-15 folks but all have a fairly large amount of traders.

Dstreetvillain is pretty good about working with Serramonte prior to an event so that we're not hassled by security. Hopefully we'll have a confirmed date soon. A trade event in Northern California is long overdue!

[D23family]

Sweet, let's set this up. I can't wait!

I'm a newbie, I don't have much either, but it's just fun to see what people have & it's tons of fun to meet new people. Because we have other interest/backgrounds besides Vinylmations
