Star Wars Celebration V: August 12-15, 2010. Orlando, FL

[Bamboota]

Can I just say that I am ____ing excited as hell about this!??!

We need to meet up, trade numbers, party, get drunk, and do stuff. Oh yeah, stuff!! WOOT!

Have you been looking around for places??

That isn't the final Exhibitors List. Hasbro isn't even listed, and they'll surely be there.

*fingers crossed*

Bam, here is the place.

After some consideration, this was the best all things considered especially the shuttle.

Confirmed by Dusty... No Sideshow booth at C5, but they will have a presence there:

We won't be there in person, but will be sending gift cards and perhaps some product to display at someone's booth. Will keep people informed of where when it gets closer.

Thanks, Dusty!

I assume this also means there won't be any C5 Exclusive Sideshow SW item, though I suppose they could still technically do it and have it sold through the StarWarsShop.com booth or something. I think this show is gonna be difficult for several licensees to pull off since it's only 3 weeks after SDCC.

Gey....Bamboota is dissapointed.

Major disappointment.

I wonder if any of the east coast employees might come anyway?

This is really sad @$$ news.

The Wyndam is the place baby !

That would be nice... I think SDCC is what killed this deal.

Yeah, also... C4 was in L.A. (their home town) so it was much easier for them to have a big exhibit booth there even though it was only 6 weeks before SDCC '07. Not sure how financially successful it was for them though compared to SDCC, which is just bang-up HUGE.

 

[daikkenaurora]

Bam, I found a spot at the Wyndam. $65 a night with shuttles to both the Con and Universal included. Check it out. Split that between one or two freaks and it;'s one !

Plus we can all party like rock stars !!!!!! :chew

Let me know. I already booked. They charge one nights stay in June to secure the room so you can book now and if you decide against it, you can cancel in May !

I saw that too. I also found the Doubletree Universal for $80 and they usually have shuttles to conventions. So we need to act fast before hotels start jacking up the price.

That is a shame. I loved seeing them at CIV, but as I haven't been able to make it to SDCC, I guess I'll just have to live on the memories of my harassing them mercilessly at CIV.

yeah that was my other option, but we opted to save the 60 and go with the Windham.

is the Windham in Orlando any good?

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

It is as good as any of the others. Universal was my other option. But to save some money...

All reviews read the same... good and bad.

Do you have a link for Wyndam for $65? If I'm going to go I need to get a hotel for a good price.

I emailed the staff of C5 recently... and got this response.

Thank you for your email, and for your faith and passion for Star Wars. Celebration V will be an event shining spotlights across the saga, from the films, to The Clone Wars, to the books, comics, games, and art which have explored further into the galaxy far, far away.

You'll start to see guest news soon on our official site, with news picking up a great deal as we move later into Spring. I feel your faith will be rewarded, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me.

May The Force Be With You!

Thats pretty awesome that they responded back.

That's what I suspected tho.

I agree. Just nice to hear it directly from them. Hope they live up to it.

 

[IrishJedi]

So, did anyone else get some of the CV beach balls they were giving out at MegaCon? Pretty neat piece of swag, I guess. I'll post pics later.
