Mayhem

As Sindel says, if you have a ticket for batch X, you can queue for your photo for any batch numbered X or later, if you happen to miss when batch X is called for any reason. What I've done a couple times is get the photo, and then have the guests sign the photo. Having a low batch number there is handy so you have more time to then get the autographs.

I’ve got other items that need signing...!

If you’re actually going to the palace itself, the entrance is on the other side of the bridge to where the train station is. Not very far, but as you said you’ve driven there before, you may have passed it on your way there anyhow. My old school has a sports ground nearby hence I used to go there quite a bit.

Diamonds go first anyhow in the day for photoshoots, so you can have the rest of the day to get it signed.

Believe it depends on the talk. Some talks are no photo or video whatsoever iirc.

Customs in Germany wanted to check my case one time as I had a Disney ex-store model in there I was taking to an event, they even swabbed it for explosives heh. But I was impressed they recognised the character, although they did obviously call her by her German name, not her English one!

I do wonder if what caused him to miss the first day of Star Wars Celebration last month contributed sadly... he will be sadly missed, I am glad I made the time in March to queue and meet him again at LFCC Spring

He's not there Friday, so it puts more pressure on regular people wanting to meet him not buying Diamond but only going VQ. If you think it's worth it, I'd say cough up for Diamond.

Only in so much that it sounds like his company can only bear X people being away at a time on the same days, and thus he wants to book the days off now to make sure he can have them off. Before anyone else claims them. I get that a bit, there's only two of us testing, so we try not to overlap, but it was difficult earlier this year as our partners were due to give birth within two weeks of each other!

Finally got around to making it available...!

Yes, I had not got David's autograph for some reason, and he really enjoyed looking through the Japanese TRON cinema book I brought. Even got a quote from him!

I got here 20 mins ago and the queue is now double what it was when I joined, so it’s gradually forming...! Only really in for a couple VQs so hopefully fairly low numbers and then rest of day can be relaxing heh.

Some people say, others say it was Jack Purvis.

And so most people can still fit in the same shot heh...

He worked on props for ANH but yes, did also have the suit on for a few scenes.
