And yet there is no Celebration in Europe in sight...

The profits are not there I bet. IDK.

May the 4th would be a great moment to announce where and when the next one will be held.

That;s the plan.

Why ? It has been done before.

I understand companies wanting to make their money back and obviously a profit, I have no problem with that. But we all know that these large crowds are getting filled up with more and more scalpers and that's what I have a problem with. Sure, some are new fans and that's great, but scalpers are popping up like noxious weeds and it drives me crazy.

Side note, the Star Wars Bananas for TLJ were too much for me.

Star Wars Bananas??????

EFX Scout helmet arrived. Like I said before I wasn't expecting too much difference from what I've seen from collector's pics already.
The helmet is quite heavy, shiny and looks solid, coming with a nice COA, but is not as accurate as it could have been. The jaw flair and the big visor gap are the most prominent issues with this replica. My visor closes quite ok looking from sides, but looking from top it the gap is wider on one side than the other.

The visor itself has some accuracy problems as well. The snout is not that sharp, but was expecting to be softer so it is ok. The stand looks cheap, but seems reasonably steady and solid, still is definitely inferior to other EFX stands. Price is quite high for what you get in the end, especially for international collectors who weren't bribed by EFX with a free Vader helmet.

The overall appearance is ok, less accurate than RS Prop Masters and maybe even LoneWolf, and looks better than Altmanns, the other licensed high end Scout helmet. An ok replica, but inferior to previous EFX LE helmet replicas. It is not the worst Scout helmet out there, but definitely not the best.

Comparison EFX vs LoneWolf (LW) vs RS Prop Masters Scout Trooper Helmets:

Thanks for the great review.
Geeezzzzz the gaps on that EFX are pretty absurd.

Well, my source "in the know" told me they heard no convention center has been booked yet. They were trying to make Celebration later in the year, since Episode 9 isn't coming out until December 2019, and they wanted to make sure Disney had Star Wars Land open by then. SW Land will open in Anaheim before it will in Orlando, according to multiple reports. I do still think they'll have something set by May 4th, but they're apparently scrambling right now... I personally suspected that both US and Europe will have a Celebration next year, but I don't know if that's feasible. It's been done before... Just not by Reed. But Reed has multiple conventions each year, so they can handle it...
