Not sure yet, not sure to keep the CE ones separate, as there are a few CE pieces I'd like to frame and have as a focus of sorts.

in order to collect all 12 of them you had to sit through 12 different presentations, roughly lasting an hour each

essentially it comes down to the scarecity and how difficult it was to complete a set.
Only 350 full sets were available at the show. Each set contains 12 different coins. Each coin was given out randomly over 4 days, so attendees would not know if they would get a coin or not, so it was quite a challenge.
Despite only 350 sets available, there are not that many full sets available, as for every person wanting to keep a Darth Vader coin, means that there is one less set available to get.
This was just a freebie though, a free gift to those who attended the collector panels, no-one expected the frenzy on ebay.

I quite fancy going to some of the Collector Panels, I'm not bothered about the coins as they ain't my thing but if I get one it'll be a nice bonus to keep. I just hope that the panels won't get filled up with people who are only there just to get the coins then leave so they can flog them :roll:

It is a big worry, as the point of the panels are to educate and inform, for those who are just coming in to try grab the coins (of which I would expect quite a few now) they will be locked in the room until after the presentation.
Hopefully when they realise this, it should hopefully limit the number of people doing that and depriving others, who really want to be there and learn and see new things, of the opportunity.

The design on the IV coins were a bit too childish for my liking compared to the POTF ones.

Does anyone know what panels there will be on the Saturday or is that still to be decided?

As a fan made item they are pretty awesome. The available time, level of technology and process used to make them was nothing quite like POTF coins, these were not made by Hasbro or any other big name licence. Plus it was a first attempt at sculpting something like this.
