Just a quick reminder, tonight at 7pm is our monthly trading party!  Finders Keepers is all the rage this week so bring what you got yesterday or pick up some tonight for the first time!  The rain is over for the day so get yourself ready and we’ll see you tonight!

We’ve had a ton of questions about whether Überbot will participate in another official Kid Robot sponsored trading/release party for Dunny Series 4. Well, boys and girls, the answer is most certainly YES! This series is without flaw and we are all extremely excited for this event! Series 4 Dunnys are going to sell out far quicker than previous series so be sure to mark your calendars for Thursday September 27th at 6pm. All the details will be coming as soon as we have more info. Hang in there!

Excuse the late post on this weeks Diamond shipment list.  It’s a pretty low calorie this week but there are some nice releases.  We’re excited to read Robert Kirkman’s Brit.  Kirkman is the guy behind Invincible and Walking Dead which are two of the best books out there.  Okay!  Busy day!  Gotta go!!

I know what you’re thinking but the 10-inch bonus club refers to the bonus labbits for display but not part of the contest this past weekend. We wanted to give a big thanks to those artists and highlight their pieces separately.

The Labbit show turned out some serious crowds and it was the first time we’ve actually run out of ballots! Multiple people spent 30 minutes counting votes and, in the end, we had a seriously close contest. I know this is said often, but this truly was a difficult show to vote on. The entries were all fun and creative and, again, we thank everyone for being a part of it. If we can be cheesy for a moment - We were all winners at this Labbit show! Okay, ready?

1st Place :
Motorbot’s “Baked Labbit” (Texas)

2nd Place : Vanessa Harper “Forest Fetus” (Florida)

3rd Place : Troy Moseley “Labbit is as Labbit Does” (Florida)

Überbot Honorable Mentions:

Kelsey Stark “Modsefa” (New Jersey)

TMH “Incubator” (London)

The world’s first labbit show has come to an end and it was certainly a night to be remembered. What an impressive crowd of smart and beautiful people!! Wowwy!! We even had our first campaigners! (We’re gonna miss you, Troy and Jan!) We would like to thank everyone who came out to support the show and all the artists involved. We love and appreciate everyone who submitted a piece in this creative event. A big thanks to the Florida favorite Terribly Odd for donating his impressive custom labbit inspired work as a prize for the show. Also, thanks to talent juggernauts Bags43 and Julius Santiago for their bonus 10-inch labbits! For those close by, please feel free to stop by the store and see the entries in person!
