I have a feeling I'm going to have to buy that. I see there are some Gravity Falls figurines too, I might have to order those too.

Man, I respect that Alex finished it, but yeah I do feel a little rushed out of the door with others.
In the end it was a non-ideal, but fair, ending that I appreciate greatly over if it continued for 3 more seasons and wore itself out like too many other promising shows turn shit.

This reminds me of a similar screenshot from an episode in another animated series that wrapped up a summer trip full of new friends and special memories...
Gee I wonder why
Had a friend pass this along to me and I was curious if it was a legitimate attempt to get the show out on disc. I didn't recall seeing it mentioned here so I wanted to check (and do we think it has a chance to be successful?).
The tweet
The link it points too

Ah, I feel dumb for not researching who he was. Guess I should've done a bit of searching before I asked the group. Hmm I wonder if it is worth sending a letter in? I'd be willing to do it just for the possibility of getting the entire show released.
Variety - Gravity Falls Series Finale Sets All-Time Disney XD Ratings Records
Pretty impressive stuff
Just now read this, pretty amazing result. Glad it went out on such a high.
We still probably won't get a Blu-ray box set. Not that I'm still bitter or anything.
It was very cloying. I was disappointed with the last 10 minutes or so.

4 episodes into season 2... I LOVE IT! I wish my DVR would record the rest of the episodes so I could power through to the end.

So, apparently, Disney is going to re-release the "Between the Pjnes" special, labeling it a post-finale edition with added info.

The messed up thing is that Hirsch claims that this is the first he's hearing of it.

So, what says you, remnants of GF-GAF? Elaborate hoax or Disney flexing its muscle, showing it can mess with the series without Hirsch (Ala Season 4 of Boondocks)?

That's actually pretty good. A shame they couldn't squeeze it in.
Is this fanart or some comic easteregg?
Has anyone else here read the comic Lumberjanes? I finished reading the first volume of the graphic novel and it reminds me a lot of Gravity Falls. It follows the story of 5 girls at a scout camp who encounter a bunch of strange mysteries and supernatural things. The humor of some of the girls reminds me of Mable. I would highly recommend fans of Gravity Falls check it out.

Here's what I've gathered
Numbers
First Message
Second Message
And the red letters spell
w/ A1Z26 > ATBASH > Caesar-3
PINES
First Message
w/ Caesar-3
THE URBAN LEGEND HAS COME TRUE CIPHER’S STATUE’S CALLING YOU. THE SECRET MAP IS IN YOUR HAND TO TRACE THE CLUES ACROSS THE LAND
Second Message
w/ Caesar-3
DON’T FORGET IT’S ALL FOR PLEASURE. THE HUNT ITSELF’S THE REAL TREASURE BUT A PRIZE AWAITS THE FIRST ONE THERE. BE SAFE, BE SMART, AND OF COURSE BEWARE
And the red letters spell
RUSSIA
Dunno what it could mean though
Edit: A bit late on some stuff

Hmm... The replica journal 3 releases on 7/26. (Limited to 10000 last I heard). They said the revelation of Dipper's real name is the big secret within, but what if it's relating to this instead?

From reddit user imactuallyamurderer:
you can actually check the column through streetview
you can actually check the column through streetview
If it's something that was placed there manually, someone's going to have to go there and fish it out. Street view won't cut it. Can we even be sure it's still there? Alex actually visited Russia back in April, apparently. Anyway, at this moment it's night over there so we're going to have to wait several hours before someone can check it out (already some volunteers on tumblr).

Finally the hunt can begin
So switch your Rubles out for Yen
Turn left when you're at the shrine's door
When you reach the statue turn left once more
In the leftmost corner in the back
Is the info that you lack
A sword and a crescent mark the clue
Cipher's statue's calling you
Only 10,000 copies? That thing has been on Amazon preorder forever. It's even half price now. I doubt such a small limit exists.
It's been over an hour now, but Japanese GF fans found the next clue:
which led to a shriner's temple in Atlanta, GA
in the dead of night some peeps nearby popped up over there and periscoped their find:
Periscope link
imgur album
What they found was a faded, Lost poster of Waddles (with a phone number):
It reads:
When you call the number you get this message, but backwards: Vocaroo
Which seems to point to Ochre Court in Newport, Rhode Island as the location of the next clue, which is hidden behind a hanging portrait of a nun. EDIT: however the poster also contained a clue in need of translating:
I don't know what's happening now. Ochre Point is closed until morning so that's a dead end for now. Could there really be two clues to the same location? Will we need to find both to make sense of either? Exciting!

...ok this is amazing.
Yeah that was my thought when seeing that. I started to go grab a spare copy for a friend thinking if it was limited it would be hard to find but then I saw that they're still listed and with them shipping next week I figured it would be sold out if it was that limited. Curious to know for sure though since it would make it a neat collectible to go with the book and 2 DVDs I have.

The statue of Bill from the end of the show is in a forest somewhere. The clues lead people to it.
Also first person who finds it will win... something.
People are speculating it won't be a thing but a piece of lore. Dipper's real name seems to top the list.
They'll win some Mabel Juice!
Apparetly the search was stalled because the clue behind the painting at Ochre Court was missing, so Alex said he would tweet a new clue. And he did:
A MAN WHOSE FIRST NAME IS HIS LAST
A STATUE HONORING HIS PAST
RIGHT BEHIND HIM, BY THE SIGN OF HIS PARK
A GOLDEN HEAD SHOWS LIGHT IN THE DARK
People are saying it's Griffith Park in L.A., SoCal... and specifically this statue:
EDIT: someone found it, guess we gotta wait on the clue
twitter.com/ramblewheels/status/756230254553817088
EDIT: update, pieces of paper found within the stan head, have to use included blacklight pen to reveal the clue
50+50 THAT'S THE CITY
FROM ONE ANGLE IT'S QUITE PRETTY
YOU'LL FIND A BOW TIE AND ONE EYE
AT HIS HEAD IS A RECTANGLE
STONES BY STAIRS AT ON THE TOP RIGHT ANGLE
THE STONE WITH THE UV SWIRL CAN GLOW
FIND THE BLACK POUCH THAT'S BELOW
Next stop is Century City in L.A.
Also Jason Ritter and Ariel Hirsch have joined the hunt.

Ariel's Periscope
EDIT: looks like they found a flashdrive
EDIT: flashdrive contained a sound file
https://soundcloud.com/user-187491043/nextclue
Which points to CalArts. The clue is actually painted on the building somewhere. Only students are allowed on campus during session, so only someone already in the building can get a shot of it. And they did, pretty quickly too:
The code translates to coordinates, which points to Piedmont Park in Atlanta. Several people are en-route.
EDIT: Ariel provides a hint
EDIT: You know they're having a hard time of it if Alex has to draw them a map.

Yup. This is a man who cares about his fans.
Ah, let's see what's been happening since I lost my internet connection:
Eventually one of the searchers found a box thanks to Alex's map, inside was a key and a cryptex (opens with PINES) which contained this:
Points to a P.O. Box in a post office located at North Vermont Ave. Now the lady who found it has to drive over to L.A. tomorrow (today, as of this posting) morning to unlock the box. Should be open at 9AM PST, and there will probably be locals there to meet her when she arrives.
