The Flaying Man Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Looks like I'll be going up to Belfast in the summer! I think it's great that this is happening, it's a great initiative and a chance to meet and talk with fellow fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~khaleesi~ Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Just came back from Toronro exhibit! Tons of the costumes, armor, weapons, props... a game where youre shooting a long-bow in Blackwater battle, and pictures taken on replica iron throne! Very fun.

Kasrith Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I went earlier today to the Toronto exhibit, very much enjoyed it. Lots to see, lines we're nicely regulated so waiting was not long at all (only two lines, one to get in and one for the Iron Throne replica). Enjoy!Unfortunately, although the photos I saw earlier this week showed Rose Leslie at a table speaking to people, as well as adjusting the Ygritte costume in the Night's Watch/Wall section, there were no actors to be seen anywhere :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The She Wolf Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I went to the exhibit here in Toronto 2 days ago. It was pretty awesome, considering it was free. :D A great way to get us all hyped for the next season! And of course getting to sit on the iron throne was great :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cressit Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The exhibit opens in NYC on Thursday. The info email I got from Time Warner Cable who is the co-sponsor here says if you bring your cable bill you will be placed in a Fast Pass lane (hopefully it will mean a shorter wait.)I'll probably go early next week and drop back to report if there's anything new to share.

Capt. Zemblanity Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Just got back from NYC. Saw the exhibit. Great costumes and props. Arrived an hour before opening and still had to wait in line for over 2.5 hours. Luckily it wasn't cold. All in all it was worth it for photos on the IT and getting to see other Westerosi geeks suck as myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybobbie Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Visit the exhibition today here in Sao Paulo. It was amazing to see so many fan together, good chatting and sharing on the line and loved to see the costumes and props, specially the weaponry and jewelry. Also cool to take a picture in the iron throne. Liam Cunningham and Alfie Allen came to open the event, but unfortunately didn't stay long enough to the opening for the fans.
