Unfortunately, I don't have a picture handy for it.
It's been *so* long since I've participated in this thread, it's going to take me a short while to review recent drawings so I don't duplicate.

The dragonfly is called dasher and it's actually my choice of colours for the dragonfly cointest that was on here... They can be picked up on a German Website. I linked it in the Dragonfly comp thread.
There are 3 other editions available from the original US based mint, Dasher is currently out of stock, as you can see here: http://www.cache-advance.com/proddetail.asp?prod=dragonfly_dasher

There is an event in North Seattle on the night of the Block Party...
I'm guessing that published before they decided to lock out new events for that weekend.
-
We could all just meet up on the saturday night somewhere anyway, even if it isn't an actual published event...
Very true.
If people want to do that, and I can get a rough count by say.. Tuesday... I can get reservations for space at the venue I had in mind.
My thinking was around 6pm at AFK Elixirs and Eatery in Renton. It's about a 25 minute drive from the block party, and they have plenty of space something like this, provided they have the notice.
Since I doubt we're going to approach the 50-75 people I was preparing for if we were doing the event, we should be fine.
-
Ok, I won't be having a full event on Saturday night, since that weekend is locked around the block party, and they won't be publishing any events.
I'll definitely start working on setting something up for next year as soon as I can after block party is over.
I still plan on setting myself up somewhere in the afternoon at the APE event, hopefully I'll see a few of you there.
-
I'm seeing if I can quickly put together a dinner event after the block party, but it's rather late for that.

Ok, So the cinema event (GIFF) is apparently Friday.
So, if people aren't interested in the informal meet-up Sunday at Going Ape, I can research other ideas I have. But those will require some relatively good knowledge of how many people might be attending.
-
So, I don't yet see any side-event scheduled here, and with the cinema event after the block party, it seems like Saturday is probably not a great time to do it.
I am working as a volunteer at the APE event on Sunday morning, though I'm contemplating setting up an 'informal' trading space in the afternoon, either out of the back of my car, or at the side of the trail by the eastern tunnel entrance. Would there be others interested in joining me in a bit of a trading session?
If there is much of a turnout, then I'll put some real effort into doing something a bit more formal/larger/coordinated for 2015!
-
I'm potentially interested in several, depending on exactly which editions they are (and final cost)..
Definitely Interested:
- Elements Compass - Earth - Nickel
- Unity Dragon
- GeocachingDragon 2009
Which finish?:
- Seals of Solomon
- Juwel of the moon
- Elements Compass - Earth - Nickel

no info yet? ... i was sure someone like moop along or atlanta gal would know. they know everything!
Yep, I was hoping for more info
Well, I'm not Moop along or Atlanta gal, but I have a small bit more information I can add.
I know of 6 versions, I suspect there may be at least one more.. As far as I know, mint counts for the versions have not been released by Cache Addict.
The one pictured above is the one I've been referring to as the "Groundspeak Purple/Gold"
The other 5 are:
Copper / Woodland
Satin Silver / Green
Black Nickel / Blue
Black Nickel / Green
Black Nickel / Purple
I don't know for sure who the designer is. I suspect it's Mike, with help from one of the artists he worked with.

This will be my first Block Party. Does a lot of coin trading/swapping/selling happen there? Do people bring collections along for others to Discover?
I'm coming from the UK, so wondering how much stuff to bring along.
To tell the truth, it will be my first Block Party as well, but I won't bring my collection with me (coming from Germany). Just a few of my personal coins to trade.
Maybe an experienced Block Party coiner can answer the question?
I've been to all of them, and I have yet to find much in the way of organized trading, unfortunately. I managed to do a few trades last year with a couple of individuals that I was specifically on the lookout for, but that was about it, and even then, I missed finding a couple of people I was watching for, due to the size of the crowds, and the failure to preplan a meeting place.
The first year, there was a trading area set aside, but I never saw anybody set up there.
If there is enough interest, perhaps we could put together some sort of midnight madness style event for this year.
-
Mine is that way, and I think it's by design, to turn it into a 'passport stamp'
If you did the GeoTour during the block party, and had them stamp your passport when you completed it, they actually used one of the coins as the stamp on the passport.
-
So, I've been away from caching and coining for a while due to the new addition in my household, but I've been thinking about this a lot lately. So, here's my list:
1) Neptune's Compass (Artic Ocean)
2) Elements Compass: Earth (Shiny Gold)
3) Earth Turtle Oceania (Tahiti or New Zealand)
4) Colonel Cachington (Copper Dragon)
5) Colonel Cachington (Silver Unicorn)
And now I think I'll go see if there is other cleanup I need to do on my seeking list.

Sorting through all my coins (which is quite a feat, I might add) I saw, that I have 10 different Dragon Tails.
But checking through all the pictures in this thread, I never managed to get the version of the teaser (what is that called and was it actually ever made availlable?)
Also to my distress I found, I'm missing Nightshade.
Does anyone has one for trade or sale? I'd love to have the full set.
Edit: Thanks to a reader here I managed to trade for one. Brilliant!
So, you found Nightshade, the teaser was called "Deep Sea", and yes it was/is available.
There are 12 total editions, including the AE: "Iron"
-
So, it's taken a lot longer than I had originally hoped, but I have a solution for editing the catalog on geotrackable.info now working.
And as such, I now need a small cast of volunteers to poke at it and give me feedback.
I'd like to keep the count to 2 or 3 to begin with, while we work through the initial growing pains.-Mike

With this edition retired and put to rest, I am starting work on another. What metal and colors would you all like to see? Please let me know, I will start a list. The rest here on out are individual pieces... $10 each...
So far:
Brushed gold with black
Polished gold with black
Copper with red
I'm thinking a nice tropical blue glitter, say J504 (or perhaps Pearl 15) on either Satin or Antique Silver. Maybe a green (glitter/trans?) on Antique Bronze/Gold
I might even be tempted to change to the reddish Glow (10) for the eyes.

scificollector, what version is this!?!!? I LOVE it!!!
A few trades in the last week.
Well, I'm not scificollector, but I can answer this question.
That would be the "Midnight" Artist Edition.
-
These will only be available for a short time more, a week or possibly less...
If you picked up a Sea or Land (or both!) you won't want to miss Air.
-
After much consideration, I'd like to request 31 Please.

Yes, there is a MWGB version. I believe it's called Ember. I haven't ordered any coins for GCF yet. But I bet those two could talk me into an order.
TMA
Yes, Ember is the name of the MWGB version.
TMA: We'll be sure to whine and wheedle appropriately, after you survive MWGB.
-
Oh jeeze...you just made it worse...
I'll bet they're fantastic. The colors in the clouds on the sunset version must be spectacular!
How does one acquire an AE version?
Eh, didn't mean to cause great consternation!
For all of the AE's for any coins designed by NepoKama and myself, there are two ways to acquire them:
1) We periodically post a few on ebay, for various reasons
2) Both NepoKama and myself are open to trades.
-
Can you post photos of these? I'd love to see them.
I've got photos of both AEs for Sea posted on Flickr.
Oh my...
...drool...Thanks...I think.
What NepoKama isn't saying is that those photos don't quite show everything. The sails on the Midnight Ship are glow.
...drool...
