ACTIVITIES:
Once again, Archive Party attendees will have the chance to participate in a number of activities -- the proceeds from which will all be donated to the Best Friends Animal Society. Contest and game tickets will be $1 each and applicable to all activities (quantities to participate vary - see below).
The following activities, contests, and games are planned but subject to change:
VINTAGE COSTUME CONTEST
2 tickets to enter
The headliner for this second party will be a vintage-themed costume contest. As mentioned on the 'Chive Cast, it'll basically be free-reign and hopefully quite entertaining. The only rule is that the outfit must somehow tie-in to vintage Star Wars collectibles. The "best costume" and one random winner will receive a Digby-Wing Pilot exclusive 4-Up figure.
STAR WARS ATARI CHALLENGE
1 ticket per play
Guests will also have the chance to test their old-school gaming skills with the Star Wars Atari Challenge. Each player will be limited to one death or five minutes of playing time -- whichever comes first. The highest score of the evening will receive a special prize: a "digital edition" of select issues of Martin Thurn's The Star Wars Collector magazine from the 1990s - a treasure for any collector, as well as a set of original Archive Party Manatee Cardbacks.
5 tickets to enter - limited to the first 32 participants
32 lucky contestants will be competing in a Removable Limbs C-3PO Assembly Race Challenge. Loose 3POs will be dismembered and mixed into bags of packing peanuts and other vintage figure appendages. From there, the race is on to find the parts and assemble the figure before your opponent. The final "Sweet Two" round of this bracket challenge will involve the added element of wearing a Ben Cooper Chewbacca mask -- the ultimate mark of protocol droid building mastery. The grand prize will be a vintage knockoff Arco Spacewar C-3PO figure donated by Skye Paine.
VINTAGE FIGURES IN A JAR
2 tickets per guess, 1 guess per attendee
A mysterious amount of loose vintage figures will be placed in a jar. The attendee with the closest guest at the end of the competition gets to take the entire jar home! Archive Party figure jars are like boxes of chocolate -- you just never know what you're gonna get.
