The 350 event attendees get a Figment & Dreamfinder Jumbo pin, but other than that the only merchandise is the WDCC piece. > So they dropped the seminar after all that? Looks like. And the breakfast time is only an hour. I suppose they could have someone speak during it, but probably not.
Originally Posted By idleHands It's an "encore performance" from last year, only at the Contemporary instead of Yacht & Beach. Breakfast is a buffet, with tables nearby so you can eat and chat with fellow Figment foamers. Bruce Lau sits at a separate table with WDCC reps hovering nearby, to sign accompanying certificates upon request (sculpts are already pre-signed by Bruce) and talk about his work. And WDCC reps have a small display of upcoming releases to discuss as well. And the walkaround Figment from Epcot is available for photo ops. (That line was much longer than the one to meet-n-greet Bruce. =8^0) No seminar, no speakers, nothing resembling a "special" merch event like originally planned for the Odyssey. WDSE was most likely too preoccupied with their upcoming cork conference.

Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 Wait...so does the $260 price include the sculpture? I certainly hope so if there is nothing but a breakfast (that you could do anywhere). I guess I'm trying tu understand what the price includes.
Originally Posted By hopemax Yes, the $260 includes the sculpture ($199) a Jumbo pin ($25-$35) and breakfast.
