[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 400651, member: 7379"] Part 2 [ATTACH type="full" alt="06 - Programme copy.jpg"]19027._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="07 - Programme copy.jpg"]19028._xfImport[/ATTACH] I asked the man how much they were, and was delighted to learn that they were free, and he handed one to me! Sadly, there was no sign of Mark Hamill there to greet us, but this was still a good start as we were led through the lobby. One entire side was cordoned off with red ropes, and inside those were several tables crammed full of half-glimpsed probably fabulous items I couldn't properly make out. My friend and I immediately began fresh speculation about what they might be. Were they new figures we hadn't seen yet? Perhaps new and wonderful spaceships, creatures and vehicles from the new film? I didn't know what they were, but I did wish I had more money with me to buy lots of whatever it was they had for sale out there.
