    OK, since people seem obsessed with lines, what time is good to line up to just get in on Thursday? I'm a Fan Club member and want to get my 4 CIII Vader figures first off. Help?

    I plan on lining up at 10:00-10:30 AM. The doors don't open for Fan Club members until noon,so I figure that will be plenty of time. :)

    I'm pretty sure you'll get a ticket for loitering if you're in line at this point.

    I am in the same boat as Jakejar and his mom. I should be coming in around 1-2 pm. Think the line will be thinning out by then?

    I hope?

    You know, nobody's commented on the first part of Hog-o-sith's original post, which to me begs the question: Why are people (especially Star War people) so obsessed with lines? Seems like every kind of social activity that involves Star Wars, we're always looking for excuses to line up. Is it a competetion thing? Do we all need shrinks?

    "


    Thursday will probably be a rather manageable line. Many people aren't coming in until late Thursday or even Friday, so Thursday's line won't be bad at all.

    Just get there an hour-and-a-half or two hours ahead of time and you will be fine. :)

    Blah, no one's answered my question about getting there an hour and a half or two hours *late* however.

    And for that matter, what about other days? There's no way I will be lining up before the doors open, I'm thinking of showing up around 10 or so in the moring. Maybe 9 am. But if that means doing nothing but sitting outside for a couple hours...meh. I am sposed to meet someone at 11:30 on friday morning...will the line be gone by *then* at least?

    SW fans are crazy about lines. It annoys me. :p

    Yeah, I honestly never thought about waiting in line just to get into the Con itself, that's annoying. I hope they go down after an hour/hour and a half or so, because if I have to wait in line all day just to get in I will not be happy.

    One of my most vivid memories from C2 was the size of the line on Saturday morning. I swear, it never ended. My buddy and I were filming it and it just went on and on for miles. And I do mean miles. We were walking, trying to find the end, but when we saw that it wrapped up and around the road, around the corner, off into oblivion... we stopped and went back to our place up front. It was truly something to behold. I have always wondered what time those folks at the back actually got to see the front doors, let alone get into the convention center. All I remember is having been in the building for a couple of hours and seeing the line still being ushered through the front doors. Mind blowing.

    So basically, if you don't mind what time you get in, you can pretty much just show up whenever. But no matter what, you will still have to stand in somewhat of a line. And then when you get inside, you will stand in a line. I agree that Star Wars fans get out of line (no pun) with our lines. But for an event this size, with the amount of people attending, you have to expect to wait.
