Star Wars CVI Photo Thread

[jimjimmyjones85]

Just made me realize these next two Celebrations look alot alike...

CEII & CVII

Except that I think the proper abbreviation for Europe is ECII. Not sure though...

I don't think so... the first one was always CE... and it is said Celebration Europe.

I do believe I stand corrected...

But I would swear that when they announced it on Sunday, it was the other way around.

You have been known to be wrong... from time to time.

 

[furystorm]

Dammit!

But, it was cold in that room!

Your tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker.

I thought they smelled bad... on the outside...

I'm still (slowly) tweaking and adding more photos, but here is my CVI album at the moment.

I had such a great time, you guys.

Heck yeah!!!

I hope they have some good C2E2 guests next year. It would be awesome to hang out again!

I plan on going to C2E2. I'll have to try to arrange to meet up with you guys. I wish I could have spent more time with everyone at CVI, other than the party. I was just non-stop busy. I think I volunteered to work too many hours, leaving little time for play, plus I amazingly completed the Scavenger Hunt (got 1 of only 150 medals, so I guess that's kinda cool). I did get to see most of the panels I wanted to, but I never really shopped the dealers, and didn't get enough time to "explore" all the great stuff. If I go to Germany, I plan on having more time to soak it all in and enjoy the con more, instead of rush rush rush...

Some more of my prints!

Emperor photo from Official Pix

McQuarrie full signature prints. I gave the Yavin one away as one of my prizes at the Freaks party. Kenbenobi got it, yay!! It was too good though, so I had to buy one for myself. Luckily they had one more left when I went back. And with the Hoth scene, I got the deal of the con!! They are selling it for $100, but when the guy gave me the last one (gibby got the second to last) he said it had some dents in it. Because of that, he marked it down 50% so I got it for $50!!! I was happy!

Dude, you totally rock for donating that! Thanks again for the awesome prize! I'm glad to hear you got a bargain on the Hoth scene. I can't believe they dropped it 50%! Hopefully you can't notice the dents once it is framed...

Definitely! That would be great!

Kenbenobi, did you end up with the other McQuarrie Micro Machines print as well?

How did I miss the Hoth Scene one

I just added you as a flickr contact Shadow5. Great shots man.

I don't think I've ever actually seen those pieces before. Were they hard to come by at the con?

 

[gibby]

They're the Micro Machines pieces he did in 96/97 for the Action Fleet playsets. There were four individual prints and one combo. You'll see the non-signed versions pop-up for about $20 on ebay from time to time.

I think we picked them up on Friday, so it wasn't too difficult, but we did get the last 2 for the Hoth playset.

 

[Khev]

Geez, 1996-97? He still had the magic touch then. I wonder why they didn't ask him to do designs for The Phantom Menace.

 

[gibby]

From what I've been told and have read, he started having issues while working on this set.

edit - I thought Waller attended his panel, but I can't remember...if someone did, maybe they can also chime in on this. I would think it was discussed.

 

[Darth Waller]

The retrospective panel I attended was basically just guys in the industry talking about how he influenced their work. Not much was actually said about McQuarrie beyond that.

That stinks.
Did you tell me that and I forgot already?

You lucky bums !

Definitely. I for sure thought they would be out of these, especially since we got there on Friday.
Guess it was the luck of UT again!



Still need to find out who got the x-wing print at our Freaks Party!!!!

I don't remember telling you that, so if I did, double
