[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 411020, member: 2"] Good idea :) here's mine: 1) Attending the legendary Room Sales for the first time. Saw some ultra-rare stuff and even bought something cool (a Blue Snag) 2) Friday night drinks, although I go to quite a few Farthest From's etc I rarely get to spend much time drinking/socialising with everyone 3) Collector Panels - as always some amazing stuff, I consider myself fairly up to speed on collecting but there were a few new things I learned (eg fake POTF coins and the road-side Death Star!) 4) Buying vintage - I never go to conventions of this size expecting to buy much as prices are usually insane, but I actually bought loads of stuff this time and found there was quite a lot of stuff reasonably priced. I bought loads of weapons/accessories I needed and a few loose figures too, so was very happy. Not quite the one of a kind Luke Bespin MOC I found at the 2007 CE, but still happy :) 5) And finally of course meeting lots of new forum members, as well as seeing some I've now known for years again. My only disappointment was not seeing Mark Hamill or Carrie Fisher, sorry as much as I love both of them I am not queuing up all night for anything. Having been to Excel several times for work expos I know that they have two other areas just as huge as the two open for CE, so I don't know why they didn't just put the shows in one of those which would have happily fitted thousands of people so everybody could have seen them. Maybe next time I'll get a hotel so the early starts won't be so prohibitive. [/QUOTE]
