My online order fell through and I've been left high and dry. I'm looking to get these two posters signed tomorrow so can anyone out there bring them for me? I took a look around at the con this afternoon but couldn't find anything. I'll pay handomsly! If they've got some other autographs on that's ok too - i'm sure we can work something out. Thanks in advance

was this the big 7 o clock announcement?

The venue certainly was empty! I'd estimate 15-20% of the attendance on Saturday. Even Mayhew had no line after about 45 minutes.

Please could you let us know whether he will be upstairs or downstairs?

Any tips on where to park near the venue? I know that street parking in Brighton is a nightmare. Willing to pay if I have to, although free would be ideal!

Double Post. Please delete.

This is the Star Wars event, right? If so PLEASE get Frank Oz, James Earl Jones or George Lucas! One can dream..

Wow that's nuts! So his signature was 3x more expensive based on what was already on there? I understand things like charging for words on dedications but that just seems ridiculous!

"APOLLO 11 COMPLETION ARMSTRONG ALONE OR BOTH ARMSTRONG AND COLLINS £915" Does this mean that he had photos on his table that had already been signed by Armstrong & Collins that he added his autograph too? If so do you think that will be happening this time around?

It's pretty limited even if you're in to Star Wars to be honest!

It might as well be cancelled now given what remains of the lineup!

So.. is there any chance at all of getting a refund on my Saturday entry ticket?

Any plans on a replacement for him SM?

On what basis? Right now the con is looking like a wash out.

Absolutely gutted. No reason at all for me to come now and ideally I'd like a refund but I can't see Showmasters providing that

Now that Billy Dee has cancelled there's no one at all that I'd be going for either. Hoping for a refund but it's probably not going to happen.

Found it: https://www.coolwatersprods.com/appearances.html " Due to medical reasons Billy Dee Williams is not longer able to appear. His doctors assure us he is OK and Billy himsefl spoke to Coolwaters president, Derek Maki, and said he'll be in the UK in 2016! We wish him a speedy recovery! His son Corey Dee Williams will join him on the 2016 tour!" Shame for BDW but this is an absolute disaster for the con. He was literally the only reason I bought a ticket to come up from London and now it just isn't worth it as there's no one else who I want to see. I'm guessing that Showmasters aren't going to be giving out any refunds under these circumstances either

Oh man I hope this isn't true. The convention will be a complete wash out if that's the case!! EDIT: Can someone link the announcement on his website? I can't find it.

Argh! Down to just the one person that I'm looking to meet now then.

Well despite looking forward to Billy Dee I have a horrible feeling that this is it for the lineup! Let's hope there's more to come...

got mine today.

I was very disappointed at what we got ESB-wise at the event given the hype in that thread last October or whenever it was. Will take any future "announcements" with a grain of salt for sure.

Any comment on this Showmasters? Coming a long way for this on the strength of Billy Dee, but a few more Star Wars guests would be awesome please!

Jason - Here was the original post about The Empire Strikes Back (note that the actual thread has now been deleted!) "LFCC 2015 will be celebrating 35 years of The Empire Strikes Back With this land mark year we will be bringing you some rare guests and important people that make this amazing film happen 35 years ago. There will be first time signers and many things to do and see and opportunities to celebrate our love for this wonderful film we just wanted to warn all the Star Wars fans out there this will be a big aspect of 2015's LFCC see you all there May the force be with you" Ok we got a few first time signers and people who *could* be considered rare signers but where were the "many things to do and see" that were promised? None of the main cast were in attendance (Dave & Kenny aside but they do attend a LOT of cons) and there wasn't even so much as a prop / photo shoot related to the film. How on earth can this be considered a "big aspect"? Did some people pull out? I bought my ticket based almost exclusively on this announcement and I feel quite let down by it.

I really hope they get some decent guests after the let down of their Empire Strikes Back "celebration" at this years LFCC.
