Poster 7 Roundup 45

Now the dust has settled and the 7th poster has sold out, just a few more images from today.

A picture sent in by Adam Gelvan (The Stuff Guy)

The shelf in Rusty's where the T-Shirts were displayed.

Amy Lynn has told us and then corrected by feel_the_insanity that the quote in the URL comes from The season Four Episode The Beginning Of The End

---

CHARLIE: Hey man. Don't run. Hurley. Just, just, sit down. I wanna talk to you. Come on. Don't do what you did in the store. Ok? There's no need to freak out.

HURLEY: No need to freak out? I'm trying to buy some jerky and a slushy, and suddenly you're standing over there by the Ho Hos. You're dead, what do you expect me to do?

The hub page has also been updated with the latest URL and some official pictures.

Information - Backdoor ordering

During the poster reveal today one of our commenters posted a method to purchase the poster before the main web page said it was for sale. The comment in full was :

Poster is totally sick.

Aside from the typo, the website also closed a loophole wherein purchasing the poster could be done before the BUY NOW button went up. Now, everyone will have a fair shot at #101.

On the previous posters you could go to the following early...simply insert the earlier url prefixes...

http://ithinkthatmanwasyou.com/dcpb/xr/body.php?module=store&id=1

A few insiders/sneaks won't like me for posting that, but oh well, now everyone knows.

Good luck all on getting #101!

This did work as I tried it myself (purely for research of course) and I did not get the first purchase as someone had already got that.

There was a lot of discussion about this in the comments and a few people have felt a little disappointed. So I contacted DamonCarltonandaPolarBear to ask why and how this was possible. This is their reply -

We were alerted to this issue a few prints back and have attempted to fix it each time, but due to the quick nature of our project isn't always possible. The good news is, every first poster order has been double checked each time to make sure the order was placed only after the site went live. We then give that information to the people who reward the first order. Even if the people order the poster "backdoor" - the time must match when the print was available for sale. As the group that checks the time ordered, I wouldn't trust everything everyone is telling you.

I hope that quells some of the unrest about the poster reveals.

This blog post is just to finish off the information from last night.

To start with very large thanks to ReverendMilo for all the reports and pictures from last night, it was much appreciated. As I said in the comments, having someone go to the event and report back in almost real time makes these sort of events come alive.

RevMilo also got himself some swag (some he took with him in costume)

Next the Hub page has been updated with quite a few pictures, some posted before by @PacesOilChange but there is also a video :





We have reports from Dragon Management that his order number was #778 for the Statue poster, this is the lowest reported so far, and ReverendMilo has told us that his order was #815.#

Hey Everybody - Carlton here

Hey everybody.

How are we liking Lost University so far?

by CarltonCuse » Wed Sep 23, 2009 1:44 am

Good, I'm glad everybody likes it. In approximately two short months everything will be up and running. As for the Blu-Ray dilemma, we are working on alternate solutions for those of you who don't have a Blu-Ray player or a PS3. Again, thanks to all of the Lost fans who keep us going. I'll keep you all updated on any information about either the Season 5 Lost DVD's, or any other questions you have REGARDING LOST UNIVERSITY, NOT our TV show. But stay hungry for some more invigorating Lost, early 2010. Inquisitiveness is golden. Thanks again, Carlton.

Greetings Carlton. I find it very ironic that I can't fit my whole name as my username on my own site. Anyways, I just wanted to say again, as Carlton said, thank you all for your support Lost fans. Without you, we wouldn't of had the opportunity to continue with Lost. Thanks everybody and we WILL be posting updated information about all of your LU concerns. -Damon

Go directly to the thread on the LU website.

This post is just for information as it is quite cool to get some direct interaction with TPTB (The Powers That Be).

Lost University Enrollment Begins 53

On the 22nd of September, the day of the Oceanic 815 crash, the enrollment for Lost University has started.

As you can see there is also another page of news.

When you sign up you have to take a test to see how good your Lost knowledge is, here is my result :


This apparently means I don't have to take the Lost 101 class, but others have reported that they have been asked to take it. The Lost 101 class seems to consist of a video about Lost, there may be more questions for those that have to take the class.

Also as you can see from above there is a student id card which we can all print out, with our student id and pin number on.

One final thing, the answerphone message on the phone number given out at ComicCon has changed, it now mentions tutoring and that the professor will be back for the December the 8th start of the Univesity Classes.

Frame 6 New clue - Bass guitar from Fallout Boy 56

Another clue for Frame 6 and the plot thickens, this guitar is not from a Blink 182 band member but from the bass player of Fallout Boy who are also playing with Blink 182 this summer. They are both playing at the Superpages.com center in Dallas on the 23rd of September.

This image is from the Fallout Boy website and includes the pink X.

Pete Wentz and his guitar.

Thanks to Amy Lynn for the first news about the new clue, skarphedin for the information about the guitar's owner and LotteryTicket for the pointer to the pink X image.

Dharma Wants You Wins an Emmy

Is the fact that Dharma Wants You won an Emmy:

Aplologies to all who think that this poll is a little immature, I think a lot of people were very disappointed by the way that Dharma Wants You ended and these answers are a result of that disappointment and frustration.

We wouldn't want the producers of Lost to think that we don't appreciate what they do, and this years entertainment is a testement to how well they treat us fans.

Still if you really enjoyed Dharma Wants You then you have an option to choose.

(and yes we know Hans Van Eeghen is spelt incorrectly but the answers can't be changed once the poll has started)
