panzerkaput

I think you scared that last chap half to death Justin

tchrin

Think he was worried his head would get licked!

cheezfriend

A couple of head licking opportunities presented itself there…

jocke

Good fun to all you guys

weland

Why only one day? That is the type of show that needs at two or three to try 4 or 5 games.

khy0te

Yep, you guys across the pond are totally crazy, Salute needs to be a long weekend not just one day.

caledor2

Yes, remind the people to lick your head Justin.

golonka

Didn’t expect to see Soldier 76, even though it’s High Noon 😉

grimdarkness

What’s in the swag bag this year?

tankkommander

Lets hope they still have some stock for UKGE…I need that Kick Off starter set for Guild Ball.

mckarok

No one has licked Justin’s head yet, wish I was there today.

stainless001

C’mon folks, gotta get on the head lickin’!

commodorerob

I was not licking his head…lol

emptynessisform

don’t worry Rob, he didn’t mean that head.

gazky

Soon to be a happy line of people 🙂

cbrenner

SCREAM!!!!!!! Justin and Ben in 2 places at once—– DIABOLIQUES!!!!—— BURN THE WITCHES !!!!!!! ;-P

That is one professional organized queue of people. It reminds me of the old Nokia phone game Snake.’ You can tell it is in England; as no one can queue like the English. I think the whole of the British Colonial and Empire thing solely happened so we could teach the world to queue. Heck it is how Nelson won the battle of the Nile and Trafalgar

chosenman44

The line before all the fun.

lawnor

Who would ever lick someomes head? I doubt that’ll happen often today

swbeil

That’s a lot of people but go to Gencon to see a really crazy number of people.

badgobo

Would love to be there.

apeman

if only ……

tookeywhy

Warboys!

rayzryr

Craziness!

wulveroffenris

Not a fan of the big queue.. but there would be goodies at the end

lordbob

I think the steamforge guys will be quite busy today.

tachycardia

Jesus. Maybe I’m not so gutted I couldn’t go. That’s a hell of a que. I need a lie down just from looking at it.

m30wm1x

With that many shineys it’s probably best to keep the shades on. Might be the only way to protect the wallet.

attilla13

Wow, big lines – and always interesting to hear what others are interested in, as they wait in the long queue, jumping at the starting line.

jmrecoil

So jealous.

kantor72

Myself and my friends from club were in that winding monster of a que for what seemed an age. Well worth it 😀 .

lblunchboxlb

Wow! Looks like it’s a packed house!

redsarge

That fellow who waived was not prepared for Justins energy. lol! 😛

sathrin

And I thought waiting lines at the airport were bad

nyilus27

Really enjoyed being there and have only just noticed that I was caught on camera towards the end of the video.

daruckus

wolf320f

I was there and my feet are still throbbing

panzertanker64

eddieharr

volkbane

I’d gladly wait in line if I could afford the plane ticket there 🙂

rgreenparadox

Lots and Lots of people, I wonder how long it takes to get through the lines. Yikes.

beetle

Ugh. Queueing. This looks like it should be a multi-day event, not just one.

phoenixman

Queue gets bigger every year

machinegod

Lick that head!

shalinor

Hmmmm – I’d suppose that being such a short event, there isn’t enough time to buildup that “Con” fragrance…

martlev

I really need to get down one year, its just a shame its only one day as its a fair old journey from me.

fireblarney

I’ll get there one day

somegeezer

MORE TOYS!

laughingboy

I was in that queue but a good few lines back.

Feeling pleased, I managed to see myself on the screen in the initial mad rush when it opened.

kamaron

zombieking

That is a lot of people, obviously if you are attending it is advisable to get early by the looks of it.

zeker1966

It seems every year people arrive earlier and earlier. I was there around 9:20 and the queue was already massive.

longshotte
