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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the Social Area six Star Wars fan sites, Jedi News<\/a>, Jedi Temple Archives<\/a>, Sandtroopers<\/a>, Star Wars Action News<\/a>, The Star Wars Collectors\u2019 Archive<\/a>, and Yakface<\/a> will be hosting \u201cmeet the fan site\u201d sessions where site visitors can meet the men behind the web sites–and get an exclusive patch from each site.<\/p>\n

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! \u00a0Each patch is limited to 500 pieces and will be given out on a first-come-first serve basis during the meet-and-greets. \u00a0Additionally, a small number of full sets will be given away in the Social Area during the convention! \u00a0Follow @C6CollectTrack on Twitter during the con.<\/p>\n

The meet-and-greets will be held in the Collectors\u2019 Social Area, a new addition to the popular Collecting Track for Celebration VI. \u00a0In 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.<\/p>\n

Come on out and meet a fan site and get an exclusive patch – only in the Star Wars Collectors Social Area! \u00a0The times for each site will be posted soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
