Well, Back home from Day 1 of 4 at The 'Invasion Dublin' Star Wars Convention. Much bigger then the 2010 event I was last at. A lot more exhibits and guest speakers. Some more traders aswell but not to much Vintage. There was only one fella doing some, Dermot, well known in Irish Collecting I believe. Picked up a nice MOC from him which I will display in the LA Thread later on. Thanks to Imperial Nut (Steve) for the heads up...(pity about not meeting up, kids and work always getting in the way :roll
I Also set aside a few loose figures as well, collecting them over the weekend
A good few stars there in fairness, Jeremy Bulloch, Mike Edmonds and Billy Dee Williams., Autographs were the usual crazy prices, €30 for Lando...
as you can see there was not much Ewok love being shown for poor old Logray when i was there.... :lol:
I thought the Q & A sessions were quite interesting, big laugh for Billy Dee when asked by the host, which was his favorite SW character? to which he replied...'the woman in Return of the Jedi with the six brests.....' :lol: Heres Smooth Billy Dee on the Mic....
Best display by far again this year was the AT-ST
All in all a good time had, very much geared towards kids and the modern collectors, still good fun and will be heading back over the weekend to pick up the loose figures and one of the convention posters which were fairly cool and should look sweet framed....
