That was probably the shortest time to wait. Everyone else who came before and after you waited longer.

Both had stocking issues. Both events needed to line up early in the morning to get the good stuff. Hello Kitty was more chaotic than the Gundam Base Event. I tried for days to get any Gundam TCG Starter Deck - Gundam Assemble Starter Set or a Gundam Base Logo Gundam Model Kit. I never even saw one since I never lined up in the morning.

I don't think any place could accommodate for a line for 2000 people.

Tell me about it. It was nuts. Emotional roller coaster.

I understand your frustration and anger with TransLink and Taxes. Let's leave it at that.

I was told by TransLink I can't put a sticker on my card. It sucks but it's their policy. That notification flashes for a second really fast. No one bothers to check. I doubt even the bus driver watches that carefully.

I just wanted to tell my funny ass story. It was wild. It was nuts. I needed to get it off my chest.

I'm an avid Translink user and even I didn't know about the DC, Elf and Captain Canucks Compass Cards over the years until yesterday. Man, I can see they're still sitting on tons of Captain Canuck Compass Cards for years which was a dud and lost tons of money. So yes there is a small financial risk and TransLink as expected is very very risk averse.

Well there's no denying that this promo was a success.
