That’s right, with just 2 weeks until Celebration VI, we only have 10 tickets left for our not-to-be-missed Yakface/Star Wars Action News Fan Party! Your ticket will not only get you fed, but also our exclusive shirt illustrated by Mark McKenna plus a shot at a ton of prizes from Hasbro (TVC action figures & more), Sideshow (12″ figures), Mimoco (USB flash drives), Her Universe (clothing), Brian’s Toys (Force FX Lightsaber), K & C Collectibles ($100 in gift certificates) and much more!
At Star Wars Celebration some of the hottest, hard to find collectibles aren’t on the show floor but in the suitcase of your fellow fan. Hotel sales have long been an after-hours activity of the Star Wars collector looking to find that rare vintage figure, a unique international item, or other prize Star Wars items.
This year at Star Wars Celebration VI the hotel sales get opened up to you! Friday night after the con, the Star Wars Collectors’ Swap Meet will be held at 6:30 pm in the new Star Wars Collectors’ Social Area. Bring some collectibles that you are willing to part with and see items from other Star Wars collections! Make a trade, work a deal, and find that item that has eluded you for so long!
The Star Wars Collectors’ Social Area is in room W304. Set-up begins at 5pm for those bringing collectibles to sell or trade. Selling is limited to just a handful of items per person though (what you can carry), so collectors should plan accordingly.
DioramaWorkshop has given folks a video sneak peek of the centerpiece of the Return To Tatooine project being held at Celebration VI. Head on over to check out the first look at Jabba’s Sail Barge!!
Also, we are quickly approaching the deadline for sending donation figures for the Return to Tatooine Action Figure Fund. So send in your unwanted figures, vehicle and beasts soon!

After a brief hiatus, due to a dwindling part count, the Droid Factory attraction at Disney and they have restocked and are offering the new parts (domes & hats) that were not available previously. Let’s hope these hold out through CVI. Thanks to our friends at Endor Express for the tip.
