Any chance you could bring back Gary Kurtz for this and sit them next to each other?? I know he was just at LFCC but to hear them talking together would be amazing!!

Superb guest!!! Met him last time and saw his photo collection - some amazing stuff! Thats just confirmed that I'll be starting 2 posters this weekend!!!

Is there a price for Zac Kohen?? Can't see one on the main list.

Thos free auto session guests are not the free auto with entry on saturday

At last!! Looks like I'll be coming down for this one too now!!!

Any chance of Alan Harris for this event??? Also some X-Wing pilots or stormtroopers would be good (who says I have a few multi-signed projects going on!!)

Met Kenny loads of times. Need to find something new for him to sign Resisting the temptation to start a poster so far!!

Probably already said this previously but more OT Star Wars guests please!! Alan Harris would be good as he cancelled last time

Alan Harris would be good seeing as he cancelled last year Also any other OT SW signers are alwasy welcome!!!!

Really looking forward to this - any chance of getting a few actors that played stormtroopers or cantina/jabba aliens for this???? Alan Harris would be a great guest and would make up for missing him at Collectormania Glasgow last year!!

Title says it all - can we have more SW guests please???? Alan Harris would be ace - esp. since he had to cancel the last time.

Some more OT Star Wars signers wouldn't go amiss!!!

Will be there for early entry along with my wife and 2 mates!! Hopefully lots ofvintage star wars to be had!!

Wish it was a blind auction - I'm only attending on the Saturday

Hi Ann Thanks for your reply - I understand your fact about wanting a second opinion. I also understand your point about autographs (being a OT Star wars auto collector myself too!) I was in no way trying to put you off - another collector is always welcome (and since you're buying AFA then you're not in competition with me!!!) The place to buy ungraded cards is not on sites like ebay etc unless you get lots of pics of the item beforehand - the best place I find is on the forums - I buy lots on there and you can tell who are trusted sellers with their history (although, again you can never be 100% sure!) - also being able to handle then at a fair helps if you know what to look out for. The best thing I ever did was join one of these forums and get opinions from other collectors - especially when you plan on spending serious cash!! Have fun at Collectormania - I'll look out for the person with the AFA case in their hand!!!

Anniekins I can assure you I am not getting confused - there have been well published reports of AFA (not the UK company) grading figures with reproduction weapons - if you checked other forums these would be easily found. All I was saying is that if you are a serious collector you should know what to look out for - a graded item is not a 100% guarantee - these so called 'professional graders' do not have to sit some sort of professional exam - it is all subjective. My point I was making is that you are paying a premium for something that has been proven to not be 100% accurate. If you are serious about the hobby then putting the work in yourself is a lot more rewarding. I have friends who like AFA items but they buy the items themselves first before submitting - which is where my point of knowing what to look out for comes in. If you can spot recards, touch-ups etc then you will save yourself a lot of money in the long run. I'm not trying to put you down or anything - just pointing out that grading is not the 100% guarantee of quality that you seem to think. but then again maybe its just me as I think its a sin to encase these figures (carded or loose) in their plastic coffins!!!

At last years event there were a few stalls selling vintage Star Wars figures - MOC or loose - don't recall seeing any AFA ones though. Wouldn't be better (and cheaper) to buy and send to AFA. Surely if you participate in the hobby you should be able to notice any touch-ups etc by eye. Also, AFA is no guarantee of originality as there have been figures AFA'd with repro weapons before. There is also a company based in UK who grade figures and offer the same type of cases that AFA supply. Lastly, can't wait for Collectormania Glasgow - more Star Wars guests please!

I was wondering exactly the same thing!! I need him on a couple of mlti-signed pics I'm working on!!

I would love some more first time Star Wars signers. The ladies that played Ewoks were excellent guests. More along that line please!!

Ade I subscribed to SFX on the Saturday and got my goodie bag. didn't have too much of a look at the time but when I went to get my bus back up to Scotland on Saturday night I went to have a good look and my magazine wasn't included. I selected the latest issue and the guy who was serving me took it off me to put in my bag but obviously put it down somewhere else. I was a bit miffed as I was going to read it to help pass the time home (was only a 9 hour bus trip!!).

Just back too from a wonderful day out at Braehead (didn't think I'd ever hear myself saying that as its so near Ibrox!!!). Was busy but not too busy that you couldn't walk round and have a good look at the stalls. I'm not going tomorrow but hopefully it has a similar turnout and heres to Collectormania Glasgow #2!!!!

Thats a pity - I've not been able to find a decent image of that either - bang goes my multi-signed pic idea!!

You can never please everyone. Just because you are not happy with the guests then doesn't mean to say the guest list is 'crap'. I for one wish there were more Star Wars signers but I'm happy enough with the 2 Ewok first-timers. The rest of my time will be spent going round the dealers tables seeing what I can pick up. Also, to say the vast majority of people will not be attending due to the guest list - how do you know this? Is this based on fact? Have you asked them all? I think the proof will be the number of people through the doors each day. Have you ever been to something like this before? A lot of the guests played characters that required masks, helmets etc. This does not make them any less valid. Sorry for the rant but I just get fed up with people who are negative just because THEY are not happy about something. I think this is very selfish to others.

Hi all First post on here - been lurking about for ages but haven't bothered to join until now. Really looking forward to Collectormania Glasgow this weekend! I have a question that hopefully someone will be able to answer for me: Will Maureen Charlton have a pic containing the Jawa and Beedo for signing (like on her announcement post)? I ask this as I am travelling down to the LFCC the week after and it would be cool to get Marolyn Turk who played Beedo's autograph on the same pic. If not then I'll attempt to print off my own pic. Lets hope this Collectormania Glasgow is the first of many and continues to grow!!!
