From the comments Amy Lynn was the first to tell us about it and to mention super7store.com/ as a potential link given the "Super" clue from the first purchaser letter.
There is also www.super7florida.com/ which has orange and black colours and the person in the first picture on this page of Halloween has what looks like ARG on the shirt. Thanks to LOSTnSC and ReverendMilo for the information.
AF wrote in the comments - Twitter for Super7 Florida (http://twitter.com/super7_florida) says:
"Thank you to everyone who made it out to the Halloween Bash on Saturday! It was a great turnout and noone got lost, this time."
This time? That doesn't seem like a coincidence...
Then DragonManagement has emailed the Super7 store and got this reply -
E-mail from Scott Dias, owner of Super7 in St. Pete:
"And as far as LOST is concerned, I can neither confirm nor deny any S7 involvement at this time. :)
Cheers!
-Scott Dias"
There is another potential link in the 7TV Channel in Australia which has a 7Two channel that has the colours orange and black. (thanks ScottPhillip)
There may also be a little something in the Widmore Publishing Board for the previous reveal, but more on that later.

Hi Eugene! With Zort in Bletchley Park, Tyson has to drop the other shoe soon ;))
Dan the other thing is that there are 5 words with spaces, so there are all sorts of meanings to the "mistakes".
@Zort - I'm not seeing any other spaces in any of the words except for "s taying" and "a s". Are you sure?
When Zort's away
Tyson will play
Heheh, it took me a minute but I finally got it Thorsten! :o)
LOL Amy, a litany of everyone's "S.O.B.s", much like Homer's "D'oh!s"
Thorsten, how is everyone finding all your other pix?! I'm such a dolt, I tried backing up on the site but get nowhere. :-( Do you have a Lost pic list? Tx.
OT - Will you all be watching "V", or have you started watching Flash Forward? Not sure what I think about Flash Forward yet.
I watch FF and am still waiting to get hooked, but am hopeful. Not liking Mark's whining to Penneh though, he's gonna drive her into the other guy's arms. :-(
I'll be checking out V.
@capcom…
just mail me, same cypher!
EKNRGJJNEFFNMQQTO
If the reveal is in FL, which is a good chance, I know a number of people in the Tampa/St. Pete area, and will be contacting them
The SyFy channel here in the states has been showing the original V series/mini-series over the past few days. I'll just say the special fx didn't age well. I'm expecting good things with the new show!
First a Hello to all the new members here. :)
Second, not sure if that's been mentioned before but after looking at super7florida's photos posted on August 29, I think the person in the first Halloween pic with a t-shirt printed with "ARG..." is very possibly the store's owner.
He's the only one who's wearing a Super7 t-shirt there cutting the first cake, picking a raffle & other "hosting" stuffs on August 29.
Copy that Thorsten. :o)
Hey all, to check out where Zort's event is (or is about), check here:
http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/
Pretty neat.
@Thorsten - "email, dusty!
;))" Email who??
Right Tabula, the original V SFX seem rather homegrown at this point in time don't they? I've been watching it too. X-D
…dusty, I was only joking, instead of twittering the URL to the whole planet, just mail it to me ;))
Gotcha - that means I'll post the link in the active comments thread. Really hope it's Florida...
@ thorsten

Hi all...just popping in to say HI.
"V" day today!!
The email reply from Super7 that Dragon got is probably as close to a confirmation as we'll get -- with the "LOST" and :) included. Who/where are we emailing about the expected Super7 reveal? I would fly to St. Petersburg if I already have the day off just for the reveal since it looks like Tyson does not want to grace the midwest with a local reveal.
Thorsten will come back tonight when done with work and look at your ideas. I like the idea of our own poster series and would be willing to contribute funding for the same.
I am hoping for a Chicago reveal with the Jay Ryan print since he's based outside Chicago, then I can play along!
Assuming the reveal is at Super7 St. Pete, I'm going to take a guess on the freebie:
Super7 vinyl toy with the url
FYI, we're at about 24 hours since the red 7 went up.
Is there a reason why we think the reveal will be at the Florida Super7 vs. the San Fran Super7?
@comixguru - site colors black & orange, the blog pic of the owner wearing a shirt showing ARG, and an email response from the owner that was non-committal either way and spelled LOST with caps, indicating he's a fan.
All speculative - oh, and I really want it to be in St Pete.
Gotta say I envy all those who could attend a reveal. :)
Hey guys - I'm thinking of starting a LOST Fan Art gallery, maybe even following a similar clue structure. Would love to do 1 release per week during Season 6. After seeing all of these scenes/ideas, there is no way to cover them all. What are your thoughts?
We've obviously got some designers in the group, I can design on occasionally, and would really love to put something like this together.
@ObFuSc8…
Have fun at work, see you later!
@Amy…
just keep hitting F5 on the hub, Tyson just returned from Starbucks ;)
Dear Tyson, where be my triple chai latte?
Wouldn't there be intellectual property issues with artists selling "LOST"-themed art?
Probably, but the LOST sites have been using content from ABC for years, and don't have a problem.
By the fans for the fans? And it's art - no freedom of speech there? Not sure how that works...
very true - LostARGs for example...
And LostPedia, DocArzt, SL-Lost, Lostaholics, etc.
Dusty. That sounds good. Chris Oatley has done some fan artwork and made posters out of it. I won one in a Lost trivia competition on the cranky fanatic podcast. His site is http://www.chrisoatley.com/
I'm sure there are other talented artists who are lost fans... It'd just be.a matter of organizing them in 2 months. Probably a lot of work, but could be very cool.
Just wanted to stop by, and say hello. adam_keller, will be here, at a real community, from now on.
Welcome adam.
I am going to St. Pete as long as the reveal is on Thursday or Friday - or tomorrow for that fact - but I can't go if it's on Saturday or Sunday. My twitter account is @james_frazier
Welcome Adam!
Thanks Amy, very glad to be here
Thanks Dusty!
I will be in St Pete if it is Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Let's go St. Pete!!
My brother is in Gainesville, about 2.5 hours north east of St. Pete, and a friend of mine from Gville is going to St. Pete this weekend. When we have definite confirmation of a St. Pete reveal, I will let them know and they will be there too.
Someone should call the St. Pete store and tell them that you're coming to the LOST event on Saturday, and you need driving directions. Then see if they correct you on the date.
I just can't get over how you guys find someone for every reveal!
Ok, I really want it to be in St. Pete on Saturday, but the 8.5 hour drive each way would be taxing. Decisions, decisions...
Back to the fan art conversation - what about opening it up to anyone who wants to design. We'll have themed weeks - for example Week 1 would be "The Incident". Artists must submit their work by X-date, and then we lead up to the reveal of the fan art. We could make it for sale, slide scale it, the artist gets a portion and charity gets a portion. Thoughts?? Really think this could be a great fan extension of something that's obviously struck a chord with so many people.
Done - Amy, what's the URL for their store, and/or number?
I'll be there if it's Thurs. or Fri.
Twitter @dragonmgmt
@Dusty

Talked with the store!!!
Dusty, any info?
Paraphrasing: "Super7, you're on the right track. We found out about it awhile ago, but we don't know yet if it will be .. uh, how do I say this .. here or at the San Fran store. I think we ... uh ... the guy who could tell you isn't, well, he wouldn't know until tomorrow."
Hehehe. Did you get a name?
At first when I asked, he said let me check, then came back and danced around the answer quite a bit - a few minute conversation.
@Amy - I bet it's Chris. :)
Didn't want to post the name in case of any backlash - real nice guy.
Chris quit his job in Glasgow and moved to St. Pete!
Well, I'll definitely be there. And I'm all over this fan art idea. Would love to gather some input from you all as to whether its worth pursuing.
Nicely done Dusty
That's awesome Dusty!
fan art would be an awesome idea Dusty~!! i think Disney's idea of a theme week is neat as well. there's a girl named Buuya on deviant art who is a huge LOST fan and always does these amazing pictures/paintings. she's really good. if you set something up, you should try to get her in on it ^o^
http://buuya.deviantart.com/
We are a devious bunch - pretty incredible the amount of dedication this show has developed in its fan base, no? Looking forward to the reveal - pray it's in Florida and not in San Fran. A simultaneous reveal in both locations would be cool... Either way...
"disney" was actually me - mistyped. So far we have this Chris fellow and Buuya. If we get enough interest, I'll get this set up. Could be very very cool.
did it again... sorry...
disney = dusty mistyping... I'm done now
Oh, I'm hoping St. Pete. Already told the office that they may need to clear my calendar one day this week!
i'd join for some, not on the scale as those two but hey, it's a fan thing ^o^
(how sneaky-schizo!!! dustydisney)
Hey fellow fans! This whole experience has made me think about doing some Lost themed prints. Check out my Etsy site and lemme know what ya think of my other geeky stuff:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/geekboypress
I'd love to be part of some Lost fan art goodness!
nice Frak Hoodie!
Frak hoodie! Love it.
An hour of science / code breaking comedy so far. I'm in heaven
Thanks folks! I'm an equal opportunity geek!
Zort - glad you're having fun! Sounds like a blast.
Well no new clue yet, off to make a rhyming twitter prayer before I sneak out the back door and try and squeeze 9 holes in.
Ok I'm pretty much caught up now.
Another WCM that would be interesting is the Dharma Pit.
Midday Shadows said...
Last week, before the 'Walt's' reveal, I suggested that the Black Rock would be a great one, and suggested that Daniel Danger would be perfect for the subject, stylistically
electrachrome supplied the Daniel Danger-esque colour wash:
I seen that and really liked it.
I've been watching Flash Forward too. I like it but it seems to be lacking something. Not sure what maybe the tempo or emotional attachment to the characters.
I actually really like the Forgotten which has been rumored to be on the bubble for cancelation (of course) Looking forward to watching V tonight. That's probably when Tyson will give us the next clue.
Geekboy - I'll add you to the list of our fan art artists! And take it easy on me guys - vacation planning for some family has Disney on the brain!
prayer sent. and I think I am gonna be right betting on the FL location yesterday.
There was a twitter prayer specific to FL an reveal a good ways back.
Going to Orlando, dusty?
That's cool, thanks Dusty! Just lemme know...
A little family Christmas with the Mouse. Be good to have everyone together - lots of planning though!!
Way to go Dusty making the call. I think we have our east coast maven. :)
I hope this reveal is on Thursday and not Friday. I won't be home Friday.
Send a Thursday prayer to Tyson Rev.
geekboypress, did you follow me on twitter at a point?
I have been pretty brutal lately blocking followers that appeared to be print flippers with no sign of Lost knowledge.
I could have sworn I blocked a name similar to yours not knowing your Lostie status, and I hate to have been to harsh if I did.
What is your twitter name if you have one.
Yes way to go Dusty!!
and TY Sayid'sGirl every prayer seems to help!
I have a coworkers funeral on Friday, so I too am hoping for a Thursday reveal...
I'd be into some fan art action… when I get five minutes!!!
Just started using twitter thanks to this Lost ARG madness! It's just @geekboypress. Don't worry, no flippin' in my future!
I'm really liking the fan art thing. I have an idea for a poster but unfortunately I don't know how to screen print.
Hey all,
FYI, we've (at least temporarily) abandoned DarkUFO due to some administration issues. Email me (roomthreeseventeen@gmail.com) if you want the address of where we are now.
NEW CLUE
New clue!
Escaregot, Ghostfighter, & Milton are all types of toys at the Supe7 store.
New clue up!!!!!
Escaregot is one of the vinyl figures at Super 7.
OK. All 3 are.
:) first, finally!
'official' clue confirmation that this is super7 related...
all are toys - part of the Super7 catalog
New Clue!!
Looks like we had it figured out already!
damn you guys are fast
Thanks for going out tonight, Zort.
lurker here, but there's a new clue.
escaregot, ghostfighter & milton
it looks like we were right, Super7 it is
You should really all be running a detective agency.
Really trying hard to catch up on all the comments here. I've been working a lot and working on a xmas present for my girlfriend, seeing as the chances of their being her favourite scene are slim.
Basically, I've made a Photoshop The Constant telephone call picture which i'm going to put on to a canvas. I don't understand the logistics of it but it cost £10 and an easy process.
Really hope it impresses Lost fans, especially Thorsten after seeing some of your interpretations. I'm pretty much a learner in Photoshop, which would explain my glee.
Here it is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/44295199@N04/4072671857/
new clue!
Um.. you guys? Did I just discover the next clue?
Take the 7 image, http://damoncarltonandapolarbear.com/dcpb/x/images/f12h1.jpg And change the address to http://damoncarltonandapolarbear.com/dcpb/x/images/f12h2.jpg
What is "Escaregot, Ghostfighter & Milton"?
Ha.. nevermind.. it's on the hub now. At least in the future we should keep an eye on the images names.
@Martyn…
Lovely work, she'll be happy!
Dang.. and I thought I was all sneaky! lol.
haha, awesome, Frank!
http://g4tv.com/videos/21214/Geek-Out-Gallery-1988-Toys-Show/
Interesting background piece or 2
from G4TV featuring Jensen Karp and some of the artists.
You will need to cut and paste.
Good job everybody. Guess we just need date and time huh? Man we are a bunch of fan-atic people aren't we?!
Tyson, I know you read this…
don't be disappointed, you did a great job!
;))
You know, had it not been for the letter, would we have gotten this so quickly??? lol
I'm crossing my fingers for a Thursday reveal.
The letter, and Amy Lynns investigative talents!
@reanimated - maybe, the first hit on google for Escaregot is the Super7 store.
Cheers Thorsten, reading yours and Reverand Milos discussion on the breakdown of the 7 clue the other day made me realise how little I knew about photoshop and made me wonder how I got through Uni.
I agree with Attorney Greg, you guys are ridiculously fast at solving these clues, no wonder most of you can get a poster in 17 seconds.
I think i'll just sit back and take the role of Tea & Coffee boy.
Coffee anyone?
Hi all. again, I'm just sitting back now with my diet coke and feet up while you guy slug away.
I'm gathering tweeters over at @Lottery_Ticket/lostarg-frame-12
Tweeter list allow you to follow a group that I have collected without all the fuss. just follow that list. or not.
Also, @geekboy, LOVE the Shaun of the Dead poster. Will think about getting it but really am running out of wallspace here, just ordered a print from Methane Studios and the empty LOST slots are begging to be filled.
C'mon Thursday Reveal, it's my day off and my card has money on it!
NEW CLUE
@LT - Following! Thanks for setting that up.
Escaregot, Ghostfighter & Milton
ooops...sorry, didn't see it was already posted
Escaregot
Ghostfighter
Milton
Ghostfigher is awesome looking.
@martyn…
don't worry, PS is grown into a huge beast over the years. You can look into this
http://tv.adobe.com/product/photoshop/
and this
http://www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html
for some ideas, or always call me, I even teach that stuff ;))
So either a single store reveal at just St. Pete's or another bicostal event?
I think I forgot to mention earlier, when I called the St Pete Super7 store, he definitely ended up giving directions, wanted to make sure I knew how to get there... My vote's for St. Pete at least.
New to the lostargs, though I have been following for awhile. Just received my Transmission poster yesterday and I couldn't be happier.
I wanted to post that the number of letters in each of the words is 9, 11 and 6. Could mean a 9am reveal on 11/6....
The FL store doesn't open until 11am.
Let's plan on bi-coastal since we have history. So, start shouting out if you are in the SF area and available, need your Tweeter call.
St. Pete peeps, too.
I know a lot of you are hoping for Thursday, but I have to say that would be majorly bad for me. Been sweating this one out and sure enough looks like I'll be airborne. So I'll have to send prayer for Wednesday or Friday. But my money on Thursday.
Could be dual coast, which would make it 12 FL time?
I'll be there Thu Fri or Sat. PUMPED.
sf store isn't upen until noon...
Waiting for a new clue I decided to knock up my own bit of rubbish lost art, since some people liked the idea of a Lost golf print.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2525/4072771043_cc5c4298db_o.jpg
@ reAnimated - the Escaregot looks like the reflection/image on the Widmore Publishing backer board, no?
very nice, mrtibbs!
Great investigative work everyone! So not thrilled that I will be sitting in class for the next 90 minutes. Can't wait to come back and see what else is up.
Attorney Greg. yes there was one image that would work. I sent files to Zort70. Suggest that if anyone else manipulated reflection, send along. I listed what I saw previous comments: shark, face, googled swimmer, cat's paw pressing down on goggled swimmer. Really. Drug free.
very nice mr tibbs, like it so much, i'm going to keep it!
Welcome to all the new people!
Again, you guys are awesome. So St. Pete's sounds like the place...just when is the question.
Re fan art: Just be careful of images you use, because there is copyright involved if it's for profit.
chat room is open for business
I posted this earlier, but I've got a friend in San Fran that would be willing to check out the store there. If it's on Thursday, he wouldn't be able to go till the late afternoon, but if it's Friday he can go anytime.
BTW, has anyone tried calling the SF store? If not, I'll call right now.
Good work, Lotto. Don't forget to set the Layer blending mode to Multiply ;))
I'm off to bed, have fun folks!
Actually, Mr Tibb, I would buy that if it was revealed this week, really impressive stuff.
And as I was saying earlier with my fan art, there is a process where you can create your own canvas frame for £10, may consider it for the posters I've missed actually.
Anyway, here it is on the greatest website ever invented: http://www.firebox.com/product/2221/Create-Your-Own-Canvas?via=ser
Cheers guys, if only it was real!
It sounds like there's enough interest in a fan art site. Tweet me @LOSTFanArt if you're interested in developing some art for the site, then stay tuned...
chat room please

new clue is up :)
Escaregot, Ghostfighter and Milton
Hollywood_Bob
I'd give it a go but wouldn't want money for it, just give it to a charity I like instead.
twitter.com/LOSTFanArt - hit me there. I'm compiling a list of artists to put together a fan's series for charity. If you're interested in participating as an artist, send me a tweet.
"Escaregot, Ghostfighter and Milton"
Yeah, all 3 of those figures are in stock at the super7store website.

just going back to the hotel room via food stop, new post soon.
Zort, hi we are in the chatroom
Thanks for the kind words Martyn!
geekboy, still having problems finding you on Tweeter
No problem geekboy, I was impressed.
@Thorsten... Thanks for the sites, will give it a little bit of a play again, and if I get stuck I'll come to you ;)
@LotteryTicket... What was the link to the tweeters list again sorry, my iPhone is playing up.
@Lottery_Ticket/lostarg-frame-12
sorry in the chatroom
Fascinating - another U.S. coastal/bicoastal reveal site. How original.
I think locations are based more on the basis of contacts and connections within the infrastructure of this ARGs producers/associates. As we have had some non-U.S. reveals, I wouldn't get my hopes up about specific sites within the U.S. While everyone would like a close reveal, our regional sense of pride arificially elevates our expectations. Let's face it, these folks are from the coasts and that's what they know.
NEW POST
you guys are cracking me up.
The shirt scott is wearing. Is for the company gARGamel. Just a coincidence. seriously people.
