For folks looking to score one of our CVI exclusive Collectors Badge with Coin Pin sets, these will be available in limited quantities Thursday at the Yakface/SWAN Fan Party, at The Force United – booth #450 (days/times to be announced), at the Meet the Fan Site Collector Track panel (Room W304CD) on Saturday from 3-4pm, and at a mystery time that will only be announced on Facebook and Twitter (@yak_face).

Six Groups Celebrate CVI with an Exclusive Patch Set

Five Star Wars collecting clubs along with the Celebration VI Collecting Track will mark Celebration VI by giving away sections of an exclusive 6-piece patch set.  When assembled, the pieces form a Clone Wars themed movie poster.  The poster features characters from all six movies of the Star Wars saga along with characters from The Clone Wars TV series.  The clubs participating in this project are the Washington DC Area Star Wars Collecting Club (DCSWCC), the Ohio Star Wars Collectors Club (OSWCC), the Pennsylvania Star Wars Collecting Society (PSWCS), the Star Wars Grand Florida Alliance (SWGFA), the Seattle ARea Lucasfilm Artifact Collectors Club (SARLACC) and the Celebration VI Collecting Track.  Lead designer Bill Cable of PSWCS conceived the idea for the patch, and completed the design with substantial assistance from leaders of the participating groups.

All six patches will be available exclusively at Star Wars Celebration VI and will be free to attendees. Because quantities are extremely limited, the patches will be given away one per person.  Four clubs will be distributing their patch pieces at their Fan Group booths on the convention floor.  Please visit their web sites for additional information about the clubs.

DCSWCC, booth 548 – http://www.dcswcc.org/
OSWCC, booth 453 – http://www.oswcc.com/
PSWCS, booth 451 – http://www.pswcs.com/
SWGFA, booth 449 – http://www.swgfa.com/

The other two groups will be giving away patches in the Collecting Track Social Area in room W304CD.  Please visit the room for schedules and additional distribution information.

When Star Wars collectors want to find out about the latest and greatest toys, statues, and prop replicas hitting retail, the primary sources of news and reviews are not corporate owned web sites, but sites run by Star Wars fans for Star Wars fans.

While one might expect competition among the various sites, each trying to scoop the other, the truth is the owners and reporters from many sites are friends who see each other annually at conventions, Toy Fair International, and of course Star Wars Celebrations.

Now at Star Wars Celebration VI, six of these fan-created web sites have joined together to bring an exciting new collectible available in the Star Wars Collecting Track Social Area!

In the Social Area six Star Wars fan sites, Jedi News, Jedi Temple Archives, Sandtroopers, Star Wars Action News, The Star Wars Collectors’ Archive, and Yakface will be hosting “meet the fan site” sessions where site visitors can meet the men behind the web sites–and get an exclusive patch from each site.

Each site will have an exclusive patch given away only during the meet-and-greet, and if you collect all 6 patches they join together to make a larger patch–much like how the sites are united in their fandom of Star Wars and their love of collecting!  Each patch is limited to 500 pieces and will be given out on a first-come-first serve basis during the meet-and-greets.  Additionally, a small number of full sets will be given away in the Social Area during the convention!  Follow @C6CollectTrack on Twitter during the con.

The meet-and-greets will be held in the Collectors’ Social Area, a new addition to the popular Collecting Track for Celebration VI.  In addition to this exclusive patch giveaway, attendees can sit on roundtable discussions, get collecting books autographed, meet other collectors as well as other great activities.

Come on out and meet a fan site and get an exclusive patch – only in the Star Wars Collectors Social Area!  The times for each site will be posted soon.

Our friends at JediNews have posted an exclusive reveal of the 5 remaining Star Tots available at the Collector Track during Celebration VI. Head on over to check out Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi, Power Droid, Princess Leia Organa, Snaggletooth and the Death Star Droid. They’ve also revealed the first look at the card back showcasing all 20 Star Tots.
