If you PM me your address, I've got a hand signed card I can send you mate :)

Peter Roy played a rebel engineer in ANH, and Orlander Brit, in ROTJ,
Trever Burrerfield played BOSSK, a stormtrooper and a few more,
Laurie Goode also played BOSSK, a stormtrooper, and some of the other aliens,
Phillip Herbert played Hermie Odle, one of the creatures in Jabba's palace.

Not exactly A'listers, but they were there!! :D

Wow Neil you know your ****.

Thanks mate, incoming.

Once again, have a great day.
If memory serves me correctly that Hotel is by the big Asda. Fill up the car dude, the fuel there is always as cheap as chips ( well bloody expensive chips compared with the rest of the planet, but cheap compared with Oxford)!

Hey guys

Anyone go this year? I have been to last few of these and i gave it a miss this year
because the last 2 at the UEA had so few dealer stalls it was dire :(

Now, i'm not knocking the guys involved in putting this event together or the quality of the cast members there for your autographs
etc. but in terms of things to buy it was very woeful. Vintage star wars was absolute zilch and most of the other (dozen i would say max)
dealer stalls were not great :( I've seen star wars better served at local car boots in the past.

So...i'm hoping someone can tell me it rocked this year for the amount and quality of dealers there and that there was plenty of vintage to buy. An event this size demands lots of and quality stalls...

Hi Lee. It was at best, OK. There were loads of stalls, but only one selling vintage, and they were main beaters. Loads of comic stalls, Doctor Who bits, and modern SW. The guests were ok. For what it cost to get in, was it worth it?, probably not. I did go to a Sci-fi toy fair at the Hollywood cinema this time last year run by the Norwich and District star wars club and it was bloody brilliant.
Not heard anything this year though :(
