Can't wait for CVI! 106 more days!​

 

[The Mike]

I wonder how many days until CVI?

 

[THX-182]

I wonder how many days until CVI?

Too many. Or not enough to some.

 

[Jaycepticon]

The excitement is finally starting to build for me. Can't wait

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Still to far away for me to get excited, but it will happen soon enough

 

[thodges]

Too many. Or not enough to some.

Not enough... I have to finish my artwork for the Print I'll be offering.

Any hints, Tom?

With the announcement of the Commander Ganch figure comes a horrible confirmation. The announcement confirms Sideshow isn't coming. The press release says this will be availalbe in the Celebration Store and not at a booth.

 

[Khev]

Oh well. At least they made *something* as a Con exclusive.

Agreed. I think it's too much for Sideshow to move their setup from CA to FL, so the shared Exclusive is their way out. They will be missed once again.

 

[Shropt]

And they will look ridiculous as a company again.

 

[Khev]

Agreed. I think it's too much for Sideshow to move their setup from CA to FL

All major SW license holders are able to make the trip to *both* coasts for SDCC and Celebration. Why can't Sideshow? It would have been nice to see the Droid PF's and possibly HT Anakin and/or Han in person.

It would have been nice to meet some of the great folks who work at SSC. Also would have been nice to see some of the soon-to-be-released SW pieces.

Not really sure how you can miss the biggest SW party of the year AGAIN.

Not necessarily true. While it is unlikely, it is still possible that Sideshow is going to Celebration VI, but doesn't want to deal with the hassle of handling pickups at their booth, and would rather just show off their wares, and talk to the attendees.

Can't wait for CVI! 105 more days!​

 

[Darth Waller]

From a PM.

"Sideshow will not be attending Celebration VI but you might see some of our collectibles on display at the actual show."

This part is promising, though. I just hope it doesn't mean only exclusives.

"And I should also add...besides some items on display, there might be some other surprises and goodies up our sleeves as well. Stay tuned."

"Sideshow will not be attending Celebration VI but you might see some of our collectibles on display at the actual show."

That just means some second hand SSC figures like Yavin Luke and ANH Leia will be available from select dealers, just like at CV.
