I really hope Lego does another block dude set, I missed the comic con ones and this is my first celebration so that would be sweet!

What are the hallmark and lego exculsives?

LEGO hasn't been announced yet as far as I know.
Hallmark is this 3-piece set...

Welcome to the party, ian!

What's your character guess if they do something similar to SDCC?
I'm hoping for Vader, but it would be oh so cool if they did the Emperor!!!

Those blockdude sets are awesome. I remember walking by them over and over during C5. A little too rich for my blood but still awesome.

Can't wait for CVI...

35 more days!​

Do you recall how much they were, and who they had at CV?

It was a set of the bounty hunters and I believe it was $75.

1: It wasn't long fr me, but I had a VERY low number, and I got in first thing on a later day.

2: I do not think so.

3: Yes. The ticket is for the item to be SIGNED, not for the people.

Awesome, thanks!

Vader would be sweet! They aren't everyone's favorite but a clone set would be cool, armored figures always look a little better IMO. Thanks for the welcome, I'm looking forward to being able to talk to people who actually care about sideshow and star wars. My wife tries to act interested god bless her but its not the same lol.

From Rebelscum.com:
Many of you have heard about Steve Sansweet's Rancho Obi-Wan, a non-profit museum that houses the world's largest private collection of Star Wars memorabilia. Some of you have even taken a tour. Now, for the first time, see what the excitement is all about at the Rancho Obi-Wan Experience at Star Wars Celebration VI.

Filling a large 600-square-foot space on the exhibition floor, this will be a specially curated exhibit of some of the treasures from ROW, ranging from props and prototypes to original art and fan-made wonders. Stop by and chat with Steve about your collecting passions, get your books signed, pick up some special souvenirs, and get help planning a future trip to the museum.

OOH! That sounds like it will be fun to see!

I have a set that I never opened

Yep! Can't wait!

 

[furystorm]

Hope that doesn't cost extra though...

I'd hold on to it. It will probably be worth a lot of money some day.

 

[Darth Waller]

I imagine it would be free like the McQuarrie art exhibit was at CV. Plus, I can't see Sansweet charging fans money either.

 

[furystorm]

Good point. Still, glad I'm in on the Kevin Smith, even if it's only to have the chance to hang out with a bunch of freaks.

I am! I am scheduled to work the Hallmark Booth from 2 - 3pm on the Friday.

You work for Hallmark, or you are volunteering for them? I'm assuming you are a volunteer, since if you worked FOR Hallmark, I would think you'd be working more than one hour... Unless you're a sculptor or somebody high up the ladder...
After volunteering for OPix at the last two Celebrations, I have upgraded to working the collector panels this year. I'll be emceeing some of them. It should be a fun experience... Hope you guys can attend some of the panels! They're usually a great time, and very informative...

Volunteering. Hallmark contacted the 501'st, and ask for Vaders over 6'4" in height to help them at their booth during the show.

Ah, that's cool. They actually asked for Vaders of a specific minimum height? Wow, they're picky... Well, I hope they hook you up with the ornament exclusive!
