The Star Wars Collecting Track is better than ever at Star Wars Celebration VI with the addition of the Collector’s Social Area!

Organized by Marjorie and Arnie of the Star Wars Action News podcast, the Social Area gives Star Wars collectors the opportunity to network with other Star Wars collectors, learn more about the collecting hobby, and get autographs from authors of books on collecting.

The Social Area will feature collectible roundtable discussions led by collecting experts from across the globe. You can meet other collectors from your area and join a collecting club! Listen to live podcasts about Star Wars collecting from Star Wars Action News, the ‘Chive Cast, and This Week in Star Wars! Meet the owners of some of the most popular collecting websites, and more!

Plus, on Friday night in the Social Area, the underground hotel sales come to you with the Star Wars Collectible Swap Meet! Held in the Social Area, bring some of your Star Wars items to trade! Find the one figure needed to complete your collection, or that one-of-a-kind item you can’t live without.

Stay tuned for a full schedule of events, and be sure to stop by the Collector’s Social Area, room W304.

Leave a comment

Gus Lopez and Duncan Jenkins have revealed a new book showcasing some rare collectible available to the cast and crew of the Star Wars films.

Some of the most obscure and scarce Star Wars collectibles ever produced are the items offered to the crew and cast of the Star Wars films. Duncan Jenkins and Gus Lopez take the reader on a tour of crew memorabilia from all of the Star Wars films and productions, from Star Wars: A New Hope to Revenge of the Sith, along with crew memorabilia from Blue Harvest, the Droids and Ewoks cartoons, the Ewok movies, Star Tours, Lucasfilm, Skywalker Ranch, Industrial Light and Magic, and Clone Wars. These extremely limited T-shirts, jackets, coasters, patches, caps, stationery, greeting cards, and invitations are covered in depth. Each chapter is organized by film/production in a snazzy design by Mattias Rendahl offering extensive photographs and information.

Gus and Duncan’s Guide to Star Wars Cast & Crew Items will be available for shipping soon and we’ll be selling and signing copies at the Completist Publications booth at Star Wars Celebration VI in Orlando, Florida on August 23-26.

As a special treat, a limited supply of the shirt used in the cover of this book will be available at Celebration VI as well!
