May 5th BFC Star Wars Family Fun Day

[Section 8]

Was one of the best conventions I've been to. Perhaps not so much for the guest list or vintage figures, but for the amount of SW characters wandering around. All were super friendly and interactive especially with the kids. Another bonus was that it wasn't too packed and queuing for signatures was generally quick. The 5 signatures I got were all friendly and chatty.

Was great to meet you too, Mike. As you can see the little one wasn't fazed at all by the suits. In fact wouldn't leave General Grievous alone.

Also nice to meet to Cc4rhu aswell. Who needs a new username as I hadn't a clue who it was when he said it to me, but I clearly recognise and know it well now on the forum. :lol:

I had a rummage through one of the £3 per figure beater boxes and pulled out a Warok and a white Chief Chirpa which was nice as I'd virtually given up on buying any vintage due the high prices.

Great pics Barry.. Nice phot skills there mate..did you not get Keith Lemon Jedi :lol:

The Rancor model display said he was making up some vinyl model kits of it I think, will have to keep an eye out as it was a great piece that 8)

Andrew..great pics, little un is on the SW road mate...BTW that Dengar had a few too may pies :lol: there was a Fett around much the same as well :lol:

Can't believe you picked up a bloody Warok!! Missed that I was looking for last 17 :roll: one of the stalls had DS Gunner, couple of last 17 but daft prices so swerved them!

All I picked up was a skiff guard for £3 no weapon ( he is for a reseal MOC) and a collectors edition 90 s Luke 12 inch MISB got that down to £7 ( have darth, Obi wan and Han so thought I'd get the Luke) not vintage but there you go!

Did notice there was a hell of a lot of Lego and the kids were going mad for it!
