I postponed my participation as long as possible but just bought some tickets for Ghostbusters HQ/Disney Castle. Let's see how this turns out.

It is Eastern.  We are in New Jersey.  It will be recorded for those who can't view it. 

Questions can also be texted to this number...

Just about 100 likes on the first page! Pulled the trigger just now for the first 100. Let's try and get to 150-200!

If you have not yet please go on the first page of this thread and like the first comment (my post) I will donate 1 dollar per like! I believe it's at 97 or so so I just rounded up before today! Keep going guys! Let's at least finish around 30,000!!!!

I have been apart of a lot of "communities" motorcycle, video games, cars, etc. no other community is this giving/thoughtful! Let's prove it! We can spend 1,000s on lego we can give something to this cause!

Hi and many greetings from Vienna, Austria. As I stated on Friday, I think that 2:00 pm EST will be 8:00 pm over here in central Europe.

We should be live shortly. Some technical difficulties.

Appears to be up on running - I'm in

I believe they said this was the first time they were streaming from Youtube, so we were not allowed to embed the stream.  Needs to be at least 90 days. Everyone just needs to click this link to watch it directly on Youtube.

 

 

 

I realize anyone watching probably already knows, but you may want to put a link to the raffle in the comments or description.

Watch the stream right now.  Enjoying the conversation.  Good job guys.

Enjoyed the little I manged to see, before my youngest needed putting to bed. He loved the kid playing with the Mixel in the background. Great stuff...

I just finished watching the recording because (as I feared) I couldn't watch it live. Right at the start of the show, I had to leave to pick up my younger one.

I am glad that you used the opportunity to go "on air" because this way I got the chance to see you guys "in person". 

The most likeable thing was what I heard from you, Ed: "I am just the guy who likes Lego."

And that's it, the quintessence why we are all here and in times like these to help, of course. So I really hope we can make it to up to 30k at least this year.

It was cool to see that Ed actually looks eerily similar to his avatar.  Cool!

Good work today, Ed & Jeff! Was fun seeing the live show - and thanks for the "inside info" I needed to justify buying another $100 worth of tickets

The kid was my mini-me, the Dark Prince of LEGO...Max the Mixel Man.

Pretty much the truth.  I never would have guessed 40 years ago that I could help people playing with a toy I was so passionate about.

LOL...The avatar is a custom made avatar based on my face.  Good observation.

Thanks.  People will just have to watch the video to find out the "inside info."

We have some great pictures to share...

He is talking about the Mystery Lot. You mentioned that not many have bought tickets for that raffle prize.

To be honest, I picked up that remark, too and I am already thinking about bringing up my already "invested" $410 to a round figure and buy some more tickets for the remaining $90.?

Countdown is on.  It would be great if we could hit $20,000.00 before the end of today.

Picked up three tickets for the Disney/ GB HQ.

I am daydreaming about the Ghostbusters fire station. I've even asked my wife where we should put it in our home once assembled, since we don't have a ton of space. I may be jumping the gun a little...

It's not that I want to dash anyone's hopes but... the Ghostbusters HQ will be mine.
