Here is a twitter post from one of our followers, The Plastic Empire (@TPEmpire). I’d be surprised if this was an isolated incident.
StarWars.com has posted via YouTube the winner of the Omaze/UNICEF Force For Change campaign. Congrats to D.C. Barns!
In an incredible show of the power of the Force, the global Star Wars community raised $4,261,410 for UNICEF to impact the lives of children around the world.
The official Star Wars Celebration site has updated with details for the Celebration Anaheim Pin Trading Program.
Here’s where the fun begins…the debut of the Star Wars Celebration Pin Trading Program! Featuring pins designed by artist Christopher Lee, the Star Wars Celebration Pin Trading Program will scatter 45 unique Star Wars pins across Celebration Anaheim. Fans can purchase some directly from the Celebration Store, other pins will be available exclusively at special events, and even a few more available for trade with select members of the Celebration crew.
Watch for the availability of an Early Bird Set of pins featuring Leia, Luke, R2-D2 and Chewbacca this Thursday, August 14.
Check those inboxes – HasbroToyShop is sending out shipping notifications today to collectors who ordered SDCC exclusives last week.
UPDATE: I tracked my packages enroute and it looks like a signature is required for delivery (via FedEx). You might want to check yours as well and make necessary arrangements for your order.
