As a reminder, if you have pre-ordered Attendee exclusives, you MUST pick up your order(s) at Celebration IV in Los Angeles by Noon (12:00 PM) on Sunday, May 27th, or your order(s) will be canceled and the item(s) released for sale to walk-up customers on Monday morning on a first come, first served basis. Also, please not that processing for ALL 30th Anniversary Exclusives will begin on May 3rd, 2007, so make sure you have made financial arrangements by that date.
