Eurofurence 27

This blog posting will be updated to reflect the latest information.

Preorder your toys (Also the ones to look at)

Like every year, we can only bring a selection of all the 300+ toys in our inventory.

If you want to see a specific toy in person, please inform us.
This way we can make sure to bring it

If you want to buy a specific toy and pick it up without shipping cost,
please order in advance using the shipping method „pick up at convention“.

Otherwise we can not guarantee that we have packed it and that nobody else buys the last one before you get your chance.

• Please use an email address that actually exists.
• If you did not select „Germany“ then the price may be slightly off because 19% German VAT applies instead of the VAT-rate of your country.
• If you want to pay on-site, please select to have it pre-payed by bank transaction and just don’t send any money. An invalid credit card or Paypal address would cancel the order.

After Dark Dealers Den

Like last year, you can find us in the After Dark – Dealers Den, which will be a sectioned off area in the top, left corner of the Dealers Den.

New toys and Previews

The (regular sized) Avali by FurryStyle.

Bargain Bin

Of cause there will be a bargain bin again.
In addition to flops (toys with minor defects) and one-offs (toys made in a wrong colour, firmness or duplicates) by FurryStyle, we will also feature a lot of one-offs by Sidewinder Creations and Bad Wolf this year.

Due to having so many toys for the Bargain Bin,
we will do a daily changing Bargain Bin.
Every day there will be a different Bargain Bin with different, discounted toys on the table.

Status

TL:DR – there is a LOT of work going into such a tiny Dealers Den table on the other side of the country.

There are a lot of tasks to juggle but luckily this isn’t the first time.
So we have divided them up into things that need doing a month before, to weeks before and one week before the convention.
As always reality has a different idea and things to get delayed. Especially things being shipped too late to actually arrive on the day we communicated very early.
