I finally did it this year. Instead of learning about this AFTER it happened, I took the day off and am taking an hour long train ride almost to Coney Island for the MTA pop up shop.
I'll only be able to stay for a short while, but if anyone else is going and to be there when it opens lmk. I got mad masto.nyc stickers
Holy shit the line. NOT GETTING HERE EARLY WAS A MISTAKE
Pics. Some of the coolest signs were really expensive 😭 we walked away with a few but I did NOT budget enough time for all this. Line to get in, line to check out, line to leave.
Some more bc why not
@seano I'd never heard of this! Gonna have to put it on my calendar for next year.
Oct 8, 2026, 9:20 PM@seano damn, wish I knew about this in advance…
Oct 8, 2026, 5:19 PM@seano Looks great thanks for letting us know!
What're the cheapest things I might buy? I'd love to go tomorrow but I have no room for a big sign.
@GetMisch honestly, they're all over the place and there are plenty of things of all sizes. Everyone should go for the experience!
Oct 8, 2026, 11:01 PM@seano expensive — how expensive?
@sashk well my partner and I picked up a sign for a few hundred dollars, and many of the ones that were actual subway signs were somewhere in the range of $300-$1200. Many of the nice ones (bigger in size, more popular stations) were in the $1200 range. And then the real wild ones were marked as special which I think was $2500 or something
Oct 9, 2026, 12:20 AM@seano that’s… more expensive, than I would expect. My wife would divorce me on the spot if I would bring something like that home :)
@seano This is new to me and most of those prices are higher than I would've expected
