Exo-Suit signing at Bluewater, next Saturday
Posted by Huw,
Peter Reid, creator of the LEGO Ideas Exo-Suit, will be signing boxes at the LEGO brand store in Bluewater, Kent, UK, next Saturday 26th July from 12-4pm and you'll be able to buy the set week a before it's generally available.
I am planning on going and it would great if a posse of Bricksetters descended on the event to show Pete our appreciation. If you're going to be there, track me down and say Hi! In fact as an added incentive, everyone that comes up to me and says 'Are you Huw from Brickset?' or similar will be given a free 30280 Piece of Resistance polybag (while stocks last).
If you want to discuss plans for the day I've created a thread in the forum for the purpose.
Hopefully I'll see you there!

Bit too far away from here. Good if you live nearer by to get a signed copy before release though.
You guys geet a signed Exo-Suit?!? Why do I have to live in the USA?!? :(
I'd LOVE to go, though Kent is a rather long drive from Hertfordshire... :-(
Anyone know how much the Exo-suit be there,£29.99,£34.99????
its a bit far but might be fun to meet you all
I'm probably coming, though to be honest I don't actually know what you look like Huw, and I'm terrible at approaching and talking to other people! People usually have to come to me :-)
Bluewater's luckily only an hour away for me (add another hour for M25 traffic I guess!), but I've never actually been there before... so I'll be the young woman looking hopelessly lost ;-P
Oh, and Bluewater better have enough Exo-Suits for EVERYBODY who comes. I don't want to turn up at 11:30am and find they're all gone, otherwise I'll be wasting my time. Take note, Bluewater... don't mess this up ;-)
Such an event is a must-visit to me - and I am living in Spain. When again would there be the chance to meet the designer of a Set (even if it got a bit changed at the end). Count with me, I'll be the fellow with the strange-looking Five-Finger Shoes (looking strange but so comfortable).
Is it also possible to get the manual signed?
Darn, im thousands of miles away, but I have a Classic Space Logo shirt too :D But in blue.
Tempted to carry around a sign that says 'Hey, are you Huw?' Or something to that effect.
Only about 3500 miles from me (5600 km) :)
@tobyde, I suspect Peter will sign anything if you ask him nicely :-)
Will the suit be available to purchase just during the hours he is there or throughout the day?
Finishing my course in London on Friday, leaving on Saturday... Seems a detour is in order... Good to meet people from this list, so Huw, how will we recognise you??
Aaaggghhh! I'd love to meet you in person, Huw! And get a signed Exo Suit! Shame he's not coming to the US...
3hr drive +Early start= Bluewater 8:30am= Exo Coolness,Eternal Happiness......plus 1 Angry Lego Widow.... Yeah! :-P
Can I borrow several thousand dollars to fly to the UK? But take note, any change left over will be kept. :)
I'll be coming! Huw - why don't you wear something we can identify you by? A white rose in your button hole.....? :)
I will also be in attendance, and will try to mark myself out in some way, perhaps by wearing my Brickset T-Shirt. If a number lf us can be there it should be good, and even better for the chance to buy the Exo-Suit early!
By the way everyone, Huw looks exactly like his avatar, complete with square head and stud.
@Huw you clearly haven't googled yourself recently, it's pretty easy to find out what you look like. I'm hoping to make it down from Aberdeen for the signing, if I do, I'll be the one in an inside tour tshirt.
Excellent! Although are those exo-suits available at opening, or exclusively between 12-4? Sounds like there's going to be a terrifying large crowd this Saturday!
-- Or, by calling the store, I've answered my own question. I'll see you all in the queue at 9am twitching for the Lego fix :P
Hi first time commenting on this site, I will be there tomorrow coming all the way from Redditch (150miles) helps its my Birthday
