GP Nagoya

Post by kalimno » Mon Nov 12, 2012 8:12 pm

Aleksi Briclot and Rebecca Guay will be attending GP Nagoya.

Anyone attending the event ? I could use help with some APs.

Thanks,

Ari

When is Nagoya? It's a bit far away, but with some planning I can maybe attend it. I can't even begin to promise anything until I know when GP Nagoya is happening.

I see the one in Yokohama from 2-3 March. I'll be attending that one if work permits.

Oh wow, I had no idea 8-9 December! When are the artists signing? Saturday?

I am officially stating I'm tentatively saying I'm definitely going. I can't be 100% I'll be in Japan when the event goes down, so I'd hate for you to send the cards to me and I have a last-minute trip to somewhere. But if I am in Japan I'll be going!

I don't know how you can get the cards to me in time, though, as military mail is RUTHLESSLY slow.

So I'm saying I'll be happy to be your last resort!

Edit: And I look forward to getting some APs signed by Aleksi (Chandra's Phoenix and Worldheart Phoenix)! Does anyone have his email address? I'd like to ask him if he'll be bringing said APs with him.

Clay,

The artists usually sign on both days. Reaching Aleksi by e-mail is difficult. That is why I need help regarding APs.

But I met him several times at events. And he had his all proofs with him in binders. Unless they are sold out, you have a chance.

Rebecca Guay has also declined the possibility to do a transaction via e-mail. So, your help would be much appreciated.

With Aleksi, I go to the venue and get in queue as early as 8 a.m, although the artists arrive usually around 10. But when Aleksi arrives, the queues usually go huge. Probably 5-10 times that of let's say John Avon.

So it is better than waiting 3-4 hours , and learning that an AP is sold out. And I bet a 2 hour artist booth guard duty would be much easier for you than it is for me :)

I will try to get in touch with Aleksi, and if I am lucky, I will make sure he has some proofs for you too.

Best,

Ari

Also, in case he is sold out of Worldheart Phoenix proofs, I should have a spare one. But I am also away from home. So I must check.

Hey Ari,

if you haven't found someone else to get the cards signed, let me know. I will get be getting a Japanese PO Box tomorrow, but can get you a friend's address if that doesn't happen so that you can get the cards you want signed to me as quickly as possible.

I'll be taking a stack of foil lands (from Graveborn), a BB Japanese Lorwyn Jace, a foil Korean Primeval Titan :-O , and whatever else I can find for Aleksi to sign when I try to get the APs, so getting some stuff signed for you won't be an inconvenience :)

mmm, ok, so Nagoya was CRAZY! almost didn't make it in time to register for the event (which I eventually dropped from after a match record of Draw-Loss-Win-Loss).

I did pick up the APs for you Ari, but I was unable to get the cards signed for you. The line was a 4 hour wait to get 8 cards signed.

I did get my 2 APs signed, and will post pics of those soon.

Thanks Clay,

I am sure I will see Aleksi sometime next year. It is much appreciated as I know most would be sold out if I missed the opportunity.

Best,

Ari

I was asked, and although I remembered to ask at the GP, forgot to include this bit of info in this thread, so...

Aleksi had 11"x14" (or so) reprints of the promo Jace Book art, but he said that, as far as he remembered, that he had never received any APs for the card.

No, he didn't receive any. Sometimes they send the regular copies, but I guess that didn't happen either. But Aleksi is extremely busy. So he is usually uncertain if he is placed it or never received.

Too many fan wait for Aleksi and Rebecca.

I was in line when the Big Magic guy was over with Mrs Rebecca. I think there were about 30 people in the Aleksi line between us, though!
