    12. The page has been updated, sorry for any confusion.

      If you're using a mobile device, use the Full Site link. Follow the link for vendors on the right side of the screen. After you agree to the terms and conditions, choose your table size on the next screen.

      If you need any more help, let me know.

    26. I'm going through the registration process now. I'm registering my daughter and myself, do I note somewhere that we're related for the Mom&me?

      Oh, and how do we know if we're among the first 40?

    27. I noticed there wasn't a Guardian-level registration this year, is that not going to be offered, or will it be up later? I registered anyway, just to be on the safe side, LOL! :sweat

      Oh, hannaliten, there's a Comments section you can write in once you've paid for your order and it's complete, you might be able to mention there that you're buying for you and your daughter. I wish there was a Sister and Me contest, as I bought mine and my sister's tickets just now! :sweat But I think that's extra-lovely considering what weekend it is. ;)

    32. I know, I was the same way, there wasn't any way I was going to miss the start of the order period! :D Everything sounds so exciting this year, and I've loved every year since the beginning, so I have very high hopes right now! :) Thank-you very much, jyrus, for the confirmation as well, now to start figuring out who's going to put in an appearance over there from the horde. Plus room sales, love it! :love

    35. Just wondering, is there a way to have the Mother and Me thing work for a grandmother/granddaughter, or would that not count? I've been putting off registration because I'm trying to get my grandmother up for a visit and she's always wanted to see a bjd convention.

    37. I'm really looking forward to this! I registered on Jan 9th, so probably I didn't get the "first 40" but it would be cool if I did :D

      I hope I can make a costume for the contest!

    38. Galacticat, you should have received an email confirming your registration (with info on if you made it in the first 40). Might want to check you spam folder, just in case.

    45. I'm new to the world of BJD and since I live in Kitsap County I am VERY excited to be able to attend this convention, YAY !!! :)
      I just came across the info on BJD Collectasy yesterday and registered.
      Is there a mailing list so I can get advance notice for future conventions ?
      Did I mention I am very excited hehe

    49. I'm all registered but am now trying to decide who to carry around with me! I can't decide between 1 of my mnf's, my PW Elf Tristan, or my Lillycat Loolou... my friend isn't able to make it with me this year so I'll be carrying by myself and don't want to have to juggle too many. Has anyone else decided who they're bringing?

    51. I'll bring an Angel Egg doll and a Syb- so I can have them try on wigs and accessories :D

      My custom is looking unimpressive- but I might bring it anyway just because I don't want to be a quitter- and maybe it will make some people feel extra proud of their own stuff :D

    52. I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask but I couldn't find a contest-specific Q&A... For the sci-fi scene contest, it says you can only spend up to $50 on it, but does that include costume supplies for the doll(s) that will be in the scene, or only for supplies for making the background\props\etc of the scene itself?
       
      #52 SwivelChair, Mar 25, 2015

    53. Good question. The $50 applies only to the scene and props, not the doll and it's costume.

    57. I wish I knew that beforehand lol
      I already ordered one somewhere else and I could have picked it up right at the Convention, yikes.
      I think it is just for their display one though ? or did I miss something ?
       
      #57 Twisty, Mar 29, 2015

    58. It will be the one they display at the Expo. They're only bringing the one, due to the size, as far as I know. So, first come, first served scenario.

    59. I don't now much about expos, and I was wondering: is the selling of items in room sales limited to online registration or is going to the room sales limited?

    60. xxkittymexx, if you didn't get a chance to register online you'll have an additional opportunity to register Friday afternoon from noon to 7pm in the Sinclair room on the main floor at the Hampton Inn. Both cash and credit cards will be accepted and there is an ATM nearby. Those that registered online, or that register Friday at the Hotel will have the opportunity to sign up for room sales. A list of those having room sales will be posted in the Sinclair room on Friday. Hope that answers your question xxkittymexx.
