A friend of mine told me about LS gift cards you can buy at B&N. She said that they looked 3D. When I stopped at B&N today and asked about them, the sales clerk said that they were ALL defective, chainwide, and been recalled. They expect to have new ones by next Friday for The End. Also at B&N, I saw a sign for a LS pen for $1.95 when you buy The End, normally $3.95. The picture showed a black pen with something written in white on it and at the top was a light-up eye. Here is a blurb from an article I found online, too: "Drawings will be held at each store to win an autographed copy of The End. "The End Is Here" party giveaways will include locker posters and iron-on "The End is Here" decals. Stores will sell "A Series of Unfortunate Events" Illuminated Eye Pens, a Barnes & Noble exclusive, with purchase of The End. Also available for purchase will be "A Series of Unfortunate Events" gift cards. " news.pajamasmedia.com/entertainment/2006/10/03/11169158_The_End_is_Here_.shtml

I've looked online. The only mention of it is the site I posted. They did have a picture at the store, but I don't have a phone camera or anything like that.
I couldn't read what was written on the pen. But the eye at the top looked like clear plastic that I suppose lights up in color or something. The eye shape looked similar to the Eye Ocular Device from the movie. Like your avatar, snicketletters.
Sorry if that doesn't help. I'm planning on buying one next week. Then I can take a photo to post.

Oh, that's ok. I'm planning to get that pen too, but I just wanted to see if it's worth $1.95--- I'm talking nonsense! Anything Snicket-y is worth even a thousand dollars! The eye looks like my avatar? Cool, I liked the design of that Eye Ocular Device (nice nickname!)

I agree! For $1.95, I may buy several!

That'd mean you'll have several more copies of The End, assuming that the pen can be purchased only with a copy of The End?

I don't know how strict they will be about it. If I buy 1 book, can I buy 4 pens at the lower price? Or could I buy 1 at the lower price and the other 3 at the higher price? Who knows? I'll have to play it by ear when I get there. I may buy several books because I'll need them for school. (Unfortunate Day in one more week!)

As it turns out, they were strict about one book=one pen at cheaper price. I did buy a book, bought one pen at $1.95, but then bought another one at $3.95. They are totally worth it! Not cheap plastic, but high quality metal pen. The eye lights up in three different colors or combinations, and also pulses through the combined colors. Very cool! The scan does not do it justice. You can barely see that the eye is on red. Here is the gift card I mentioned too. Again, the scan does not do it justice. It looks all blurry but that's because it's one of those lenticular 3D cards. You have to kinda shift it a bit to see the 3D effect. I just doesn't work to scan it, but you get the idea.

I saw those tonight at B and N. I almost got one, too, but my mom wouldn't let me, since she was already spoiling my sibs and I by getting us some books after the Snicket party I attended.

GREAT NEWS. As you know, I have gotten ahold of the Penultimate Peril display case. I am now proud to anounce that I have reserved the Beatrice Letters display case along with The End display case! I will probly get it in the middle or late November.

Borders won't let you have the displays anyway. I asked once and they said it's a chainwide policy to destroy the displays when they're down with them. I couldn't believe they would do that just to avoid arguements over who gets it.
