The small tombstones were made by Randotti, and were plaster. At the Swinging Wake Doombuggies event, we received a lovely replica in resin. However I believe
the ones given to the top-tier attendees in previous events (where they had dinner in the Mansion) were pretty large.

Darker Image: Keep an eye on eBay. The original Randotti tombstones have lost a lot of their collectible value in recent years. They used to sell for $100 plus
EACH, but you can often pick one up for much less. Just search "Randotti" on eBay and bid your time. The economy is in the toilet and prices have
fallen through the floor on a lot of things. I couldn't find any at the moment, but keep watching.

Two more Dearly Departed packages up on eBay:

We'll see how far the economy has fallen if these don't sell at this price. |

And here's a Hitch Hiker's package, originally $85, now at $222.50 with four days to go: And a very persistent eBay seller whose Dearly Departed ticket ($250 original price) refuses to sell at his Buy It Now price of $999, so he just keeps
relisting it:

Well with only a few more months left on the RSP form, hopefully we may see some prices drops on those who are selling these extra tickets. I missed out on
nabbing one for myself, so I got my fingers crossed on seeing the price drop a bit on some of the tickets. Glad they did it this way though and not actually
give out physical tickets like concerts do. Would be funny to see scalpers outside Disneyland trying to sell extra tickets for this. I actually wonder how many
tickets they sold for the event anyway.

FYI: Talked to event services this morning and they said that if you had NOT received an e-mail confirming your stay that was included with your event package
(GG, or FM) it was because according to their records, you are sharing a room with someone so they only contacted one of the two of you to confirm both.

Hey everyone, I dont know if anyone saw or posted that Disneygallery.com updated the merch. page with pics of the "Ring Pins" in all their glory. Im
not a huge fan of the pins available for this event, but these ones are pretty well done and im sure alot of people will like them.

The concept drawings are always nice to see however the finished product pictures are the most exciting.

A lot depends on the lighting. Look at that lousy photo of the Griffen bookend prototype with tin foil under it on a bench in the workshop. With just a tiny
bit of care they could have removed the tin foil and placed the light off to one side and it would look much better.

Yeah, the griffin bookends look like they're gonna suck. You guys probably shouldn't try for them, pick something with a nicer picture.
