Counting the days until the event... really looking forward to it! We plan to bring all 3 of our books (Price Guide, Prototypes, Cast & Crew), so those who have wanted them but the international shipping was too high, please let Dave know so we can get an accurate count.

Absoluteley guys, please, please, please let me know if you are interested in a copy of any of the books. These things are BIG and HEAVY,so we need to get the numbers right to make sure everyone is happy and no one is left out. Please let me know at sales@allthecoolstuff.co.uk if it is something you are interested in?

We also heve some nice coverage in this months Collectors Gazette Magazine:



We also have some awesome presentation news to add for the day. "Vintage Star Wars Special Action Figure Sets" with Chris Caswell will take each of us on a show and tell on this particular area for collecting, showcasing some of the pieces from his fantastic collection.

The User Contributed Display theme will be a seasonal one, "Star Wars At Christmas", so get your thinking caps on to what YOU can contribute from your collection for the day. The connection could be anything, as long as there is a story or connection to the piece you display, so it could be something from your childhood that you got for Christmas for example. So to avoid a dozen copies of The Star Wars Christmas Album, it could be your anything as long as there is some tie in to Star Wars and Christmas

More news coming soon,
Dave

I'm planning to come, & looking forward to it (how long I can stay depends upon my daughter )

It was a great day made very special with the inclusion of Gus & Duncan.

The talks were superb and there were some great vintage items up for grabs by some of the traders.
Big thanks to Gus, Duncan and Chris Caswell, as well as the team who helped out, Wayne, Carol, Dean, Catherine and Chloe.

I hope that all who made it enjoyed the day and got something out of it in one form or another.















The next one will be in a few months, would be great to see more and more of the vintage collecting community participate, so don't hesitate to drop me a line at sales@allthecoolstuff.co.uk to get involved
