Well its over. What are your final Thoughts about the whole show?

Mine are:

LIKED

Exclusive's

Collectors Talk's and Medallion's (need 10 more)

The Whole Experience and Atmosphere

One man Star Wars Trilogy

Meeting Steve Sansweet and Randy Martinez, and signing my programme, both good guy's

Opening Ceremonies, The Emperor is very funny

Wicket also very funny guy

Artist alley, but gutted I did not buy any art

Meeting the man Boba and the sith Maul

Meeting other fans, although i cant remember any of their names

DISLIKED

Excell security staff

Not getting all the medallions

Dull CE staff, didnt have a clue

Queing

High dealer prices with a ok stock range

Very hot inside venue

Missed Sunday

Army and Navy (pointless)

Barclycard (again pointless)

Hasbro display, very poor, nothing we havent already seen

Not enough choice of food (i'm a fussy eater, just eat hotdogs) and pricy drinks, £1 a can!!

Did i mention QUEUE'S!!!!!!!!

There were a few faults but the were more good points, but this is the first CE so it will get better in time.

Hasbro revealed quite a lot!  Check out the main news page... they revealed the last 6 figures of the basic 60 and also a few UK exclusive too - all in all this was great as they could have kept it for ComicCon.  A lot of people were surprised at just how much they did reveal.

Medallions - there was so much to do that unless you set yourself the goal of just going to the Collectors Talks getting a complete set was very hard.  22 collectors sessions over three days and 12 medallions - that means almost every other talk.  If you'd done that thought you'd have missed so much.  If only we could have split ourselves in two!  If you'd been there yesterday you could've got come additional medallions at 4pm (as they gave away all the remaining medallions); I know somebody who managed to get six legitimately by queuing and requeuing.  You should have satyed for Sunday!!!

Just saw the Hasbro news on the main page, quite a few things i didnt know about cause i missed the talk. Wot a plum!!!

Gutted about those coins, i did think about sitting there all day but like you said i would have missed to much. Maybe i can trade for some and there's always "evil ebay".

Cheers

Just a couple of quick ones,

First does any of the guys out there know of all available freebie badges and whose were they (and does anyone have any spares).

Second whats the Dallio on TAC wave 4 it has been reported (before CE) as a July Release but at the Hasbro talk it stated it would be a September ( I have spent well I know) release but dude that's a long time.

In all I only have 3 slight disappointments (2 of which were my own doing) over CE one being the fact I only needed 2 stamps on my galactic passport (nobody would let me get to them on Sunday), always missing the Vader balloon, and that it didn't last longer

Agreed - IMHO in needed another day, there was so much to do and another day would've made a big difference.  I didn't want it to end, everybody we spoke to (including all of us) were having such a good time!!!  Well only another 30 years to wait till the next one - NOT!

There were 12 Medallions in all - search the Jedi News Archive and you'll find the article listing them all (they are based on the 12 original figures produced).

Wave 4 is July\Aug in the US and we're normally about the same time maybe two weeks later - time will tell.

That sounds a little closer for wave 4 (I can wait now) phew

As for the medallions i put them out of my mind (and wish list) it was impossible to get all of them unless you were quite ruthless (ah well)

Now about those badges anyone ....anyone.

The only badges i saw were Jedinews.com, about 5 different colours and allthecoolstuff.com which i have a spare, i can send you. The only other good freebie was the Hasbro CE coins, i also have a spare if anyone wants it (or maybe swap for a medallion, only kidding) free to a good home. Just PM me.
