As expected, we have limited amounts of stands, and they are taken by a first pay first serve basis. If there is more demand for certain stands, we will adjust the setup.-
Setup Rules:
Stands cannot have floating rotating signs, any other object above a stand that not is part of the built stand, or anything that makes a stand point out more than others. Stands must stay under prim limits, or objects will have to be returned. We encourage creative stands, but there is a line. We love America, so no flags or objects promoting Middle East countries that are hostile to Western interests or items that promote communism or fascism. Also no trademark violations. Armory Island Managers have control to remove things for your stand. All products setup in vendors must be combat related.
–
We recommend releasing special, or new products in the Weapons Expo. We also recommend attending your stand to answer customers, reporters, and other peoples questions.

If you would like to reserve a stand please IM William Dalgleish, or drop him a notecard if he does not respond in a 3 day period. Spots are limited, so please reserve your stand as soon as possible. Any questions, comments, or concerns IM William Dalgleish or Apollo Case.
