According to Maven in the comments and charter321 in the chat room the only overlapping time for the store opening is 7pm in LA and 11am in Tokyo
Does the clue already contain the time of the reveal ? Pooh on the DarkUFO forums has pointed out that the two days are at the 3:30 position on an analogue clock.
So while we wait for Friday / Saturday have you got your Poster Buddy, if not click on the link to try and arrange one.
If you need to know the time, ask a policeman, or if there isn't one around check out the Timezone page
Thanks to MEL for telling us first about the new clue.
We have a friend called Hiroki in Tokyo that can go down to the store, and in anticipation of a reveal went down to the store yesterday / today (yes the time difference is going to be confusing). Here are a couple of pictures from that visit.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 297 of 297Happy to receive Smokey #207 in the mail today. Print looks great, just slightly disappointed that my print number was higher than I expected/hoped (given that I had the 20th or so order). I noticed this happened to a few other folks too. (I know there is no guarantee that the nth order gets the nth print number, but still...)
haha, thanks organic
New clue! Another 1pm EST reveal. Thank god for lunch breaks!
new clue up!
looks like it's 10am sharp in LA for the reveal
the actual times for the release are up. nice
new clue be ready at 1pm eastern time
Wonder what will happen in Tokyo when they say be there if you missed the reveal? The same reveal?
Maybe whatever they're giving away at 10AM SHARP tomorrow will be available all day Saturday in the Tokyo store?
I have had ONE meeting planned ALL WEEK and it's tomorrow at 1 pm (Eastern). Ugh.
Yay! Only 7pm here in Spain!
I will def be able to try to pick one.
We're gonna need some people to go and tweet some pictures as well as the website!! Who's up for it?
How.much.longer.....??!!!!
LOL maven- "Oh, good, when Zort goes to sleep, something happens!"- poor Zort, all the work and none of the pleasure. ;)
Ugh. Don't they know some of us have to work during the day? (For our non-US friends, forgive my US-centric joke).
Damn, I think i'm gonna need a poster buddy. I'll be going to the Melrose location, but will have to rely on my phone to order...and i'm afraid it's gonna sell out.
Anyone wanna buddy up and grab one for me?
ok, well I started that before I saw the latest..duh.
Yea!!! I can do 10am!
hmm- "in the bag" wonder if the giveaway will have something to do with a shopping bag?
The wording for the Tokyo store is strange:
"With the print reveal already 'in the bag", stop by Ron Herman Tokyo Saturday, October 24th, if you missed out."
Will those in Tokyo get what ever they're giving away in Los Angeles?
Also you have to be at Melrose 10AM SHARP and there's no specific time for Tokyo.
I am not buying all of them and I will buy it only if I like it. But if there are any completists out there who need a poster buddy I could buy it even if I don´t like it.
Bad thing is I´m from Spain so I don´t know if the shop people would agree to ship it to another address instead of mine if I decide not to keep it.
Otherwise buyer would have to pay $80 ($50 + shipping to Spain) + shipping to his/her country. It sucks.
is anybody going to be able to be at the Melrose location tomorrow? I wish i could be there...
I should be able to buy for someone... but if it's a poster that I want to buy, then I'd have to place both orders in the short time frame (hopefully it will take longer than 7 minutes this time). So don't know if there are buddies out there who know they aren't going to buy?
Also, interesting that this reveal says 10am "SHARP"! Usually there's a time frame or everybody just shows up when the store opens. Wonder if that means anything.
Confirmed!!!...but I'll barely miss it.
Hi all, just popped in.
I think the "SHARP" means that at 10:01 they want you gone!
No milling about.
If anyone goes, and they're giving away stuff and you can get an extra would anyone be able to send me one? It'd be much appreciated. Class ends just before the reveal tomorrow for me!
Or . . .
Somebody from LOST is going to be at the store at 10 a.m. for a very short time, like Mr. Beaumont.
"big" "sharp" "in the bag"
So now, just to be clear, it's at 10 AM in California as opposed to previous thoughts of 7PM California? Gosh how are supposed to plan anything DCaaPB people?
I will not be able to go tomorrow. I have a commitment on Fridays and will only be able to check out the poster on my iPhone. I hope I don't really love it at first sight...I seriously have no more wall space!
New clue is up!
Yes ANON- 10am PST. 12noon CST. 1pm EST. Sorry that's as far as I can go on memory ;)
I calculate 15 hours and 30 minutes from NOW. Tweet me. "d Lottery_Ticket need a buddy" if you get in trouble 30 minutes prior to "ON SALE SOON" I'll do what I can.
Or post a message at link provided by Zort70 here at LostARGs.
no guarantees. this is for intent to buy only, without seeing poster
I have morning commitment will NOT be available until 11:30 a.m. (CST)

----------------
ITA, doesn't this store officially open for business at 11:00 a.m. The last thing this store wants is a bunch of LOST fans as you said "milling about".
@Justin: Do you have a twitter so we can follow you?
It appears that those in Tokyo can stop by the store during hours of operation for whatever was given away in LA on Friday at 10:00 a.m. SHARP. Perhaps they feel more comfortable with Tokyo Lost fans mingling around the store.
I'm not sure if I can follow this or not my husband will be home and wonder what the heck I'm doing. lol
I hope it's not something I really like.
Does this mean "Happy Hour" is off. :(
I tweeted Hiroki in Tokyo. Told me to take everyone, friends, family & strangers. lol
Just a thought. Reveal during FF. Are they wanting to know if we are watching?
Let the f5'ing begin!....
Well, this is exciting!
I've been following along since "Locke's Secret" but this is my first post.
Seriously, you folks are all types of awesome. After about 10 minutes of following your threads I thought.... these are my people :)
I had a meeting tomorrow at 1PM eastern. Past tense.
@maven, don't have a twitter... If I can find someone to buy me a poster while i'm at the store, i can stay on the phone with them and report
EmmaJane, welcome! Do you have any posters yet?
I do! I was able to get The Crash and Smokey... I really wanted Locke's Secret, but waited too long :(
I agree Emma Jane, this whole experience is great!
This is my first ARG, to boot. So this has been a really cool experience, indeed. Its fun that there are so many of us. Although these reveals are wreaking havoc on my nervous system.... and my productivity at the office :)
so is anyone else here going to the Melrose location besides me?
Any guesses/wishes to what the poster will depict?
New Clue!
What I meant to say was....
New Clue! Yes!
:)
"Any guesses/wishes to what the poster will depict?" I really want to see either a charlie poster or a not pennys boat poster.
Hiroki Tojo in Toyko will be headed to Ron Herman 10:30 a.m. Sat for store opening at 11 a.m. (Tokyo). I calculate 24 hours before Hiroki will get his bag. He is going to do exactly as before with camera and post to Facebook.
Welcome EmmaJane! The more the merrier.
I'd like to thank everyone who has kept such good track of the time zones and all. Especially now that it's been switched! And also not minding having to repeat it over and over. xo!
I hope that Zort's ESP kicks in again and he wakes up and checks the computer tonight so he knows!
"Any guesses/wishes to what the poster will depict?"
I would love anything Ben related, closely followed by "Not Penny's Boat" or the Constant. Multiple bunnies would be OK too.
Justin, you will have company from desmondia at SpoilerTV/DarkUFO LOST friend.
"Any guesses/wishes to what the poster will depict?"
I really want a Black Rock poster. I recreated the Black Rock scene a few months ago and ever since I've been obsessed with that ship!
cool. I'll bring my camera for pictures, but probably won't be able to post them till the afternoon when i get home.
Still looking for a poster buddy if anyone can buy me one while i'm there. I'll pick them up an extra "give away" shwag item if they have one.
email me at chulo333 at gmail
..oh and I will be at Melrose at 10am too.
So, 10am tomorrow. Anyone with experience have a suggestion on how early to show up?
We need a list of those going with and Twitter accts.
I was at the Rusty's reveal, Unsomnambulist, parking was easy, but nothing happened until employees opened the store a few minutes before 8AM. I know there's a parking lot at the Melrose store (I believe it's on Melrose and Crescent Heights). Nothing will most likely until the doors open, but the anticipation waiting out front with other Lost fans is the best part!!
I think that it's about time we got a bunny poster, IMO. There have been a number of awesome bunny watercooler moments (but they can skip Alex's bunny moment!).
P.S. Good luck tomorrow everyone who's going to the shops!
Maybe "Jacob loves you as he loves bunnies."
I would like to see jacob's cabin, done by daniel danger
Paul Scheer was on Parks and Recreation tonite. Guess he's not painting black velvet anymore.
Did we get an actual time yet, or does the store just open at 10am PST?
Tokyo store still opens at 11am Tokyo time, right?
Justin, I will e-mail you now for test.
Frank
Yes the site update with the time 10am PST.
good luck west coasties :)
Oh dude! I didn't even see the update on the site!
Sweet!
I wonder if they will do any reveals in 'fake' commercials on ABC... like they did with the Oceanic or Ajira Airlines commercials.
C'mon Zort, its 4am, why arent you up yet?!... Yet again, you head for bed, and the ARG fires up again!
Frank, is your brother able to go on Saturday to pick up "bag"?
OK, opening up the Chat Room. Let's go!
Sorry guys, have been working -- when did that last clue with the actual time go up?
Ooops, read back through the comments -- 8:45ish I guess? (ET)
The new clue is up. 10 am PST sharp!
Yeah ObFuSc8- it was a couple of hours ago or so.
I am actually going to work EARLY -- so I can do as much as I can before 11:45 (CT) and block out at least half an hour for this.
I think I have stepped over the edge :)
Hey, geekboypress! You guys planning on doing the winter Punk Rock Flea Market as usual? ;) I need more superhero related Christmas cards.
On topic, I'm going out to lunch with co-workers tomorrow, ostensibly from noon to 1 eastern. It'll probably take a little longer, but since the poster probably won't go on sale until 1:30, I should be good. YES.
Hmmm...so is there usually half an hour between the URL reveal and the the site going BUY NOW?
Do you think the "sharp" in the clue means it'll go faster?
Mabye the giveaway/reveal will be a bag embroidered with the site and provided in LA then Japan. Whatever it turns out to be, good luck to everyone tomorrow! LOSTnSC
ah, the poster nerds are ready too. this will go fast. just so you know.
Hub has been updated...get to Melrose by 10am!
I love it, "this will go fast". We don't even know what the poster is yet! Or who it is done by! Unbelievable.
I for one am hoping for a Desmond, but a Not Penny's Boat would be great.
we are all in the chat room
at fti
it doesn't matter
Poster reveal is at the CA RH store at 10:00 a.m. local time Friday morning.
dammit i did it again. I forget to click to the end of the comments and realize people have already mentioned this.
You all realize that when they finally do a "Not Penny's Boat" print that it will sell out in like 5 seconds flat? I think that's the poster that EVERYONE wants. Myself included.
Zort70, if you see this, pop over to the chat room, friends are trying to stay awake for you.
Just woke up and saw the new clue so -
NEW POST
Hey waffle, i'll be there with new cards in hand!
Maybe we can trade for a Crash print;)
Here's a link to my Etsy with other geeky stuff:
