Hola amigos. A total newbie to this site so just hang in there, only 43 years young' so not a pensioner just yet ha. Enjoy life and don't take for granted' u just never know BUT keep ya head screwed on so balance it all out.. Been collecting for years' star wars' old vintage toys' retro consoles and a mad Liverpool nut, BUT also a ibiza legend' smashed the 1st ever radio 1 show in front of cafe del Mar" in 96" so I class myself as a "Original" ha. Enjoyed our 1st London show July 2017' along with the Mrs and 2 young children who now love going to these events and meeting especially the star wars actors and getting stuff signed and hopefully get alot more done. Don't let anything stop ya in life even when the odds maybe stacked against ya.. All the best Dogtag.

Thanks for all the advice. Have dates been set for next year's event yet please. Soon I know' lol"but when do guests start getting named. Thx

Hi. All this will make next year's more easy to understand then for a newbie like myself. Might try and do the Friday then if queues not as big or busy so a chance of a photo might be more possible.

Hi. Yes bud' my cousin had photo with Pamela and he's shown us' Jesus I should have lent him my shades" very bright. He had a few with others and the pictures looked very good..

We saw Christopher Lloyd with 2 signs. 1 on the bk board saying no posed photos And then 1 on the table saying no photos. Some lads who were all together pointed this out to Mr Lloyd and the helper. The sign on table was removed and all seemed OK.

Hi. So do the actors who say' No photos at the tables' Do they also say NO to the proper photo shoots with' high intensity bright lighting' "Pamela from what I've heard alot say" and then flashing going off..

So what does a photo op cost to a auto desk. Is auto desk to what I do' a picture of item being signed.. Sorry for silly question but new to all this.. Thanks

Hi both.. I'm still new to all the different lingo being used' just bare with me ok. Cheers. Lol..

Hello Heart dt. Having a photo of a item being signed is important to me' it's my proof of that item being signed FOR my collection only, but then when the time is right for me to then pass on to my children. The problem is unfortunately THAT to many people judge a lot of us the same THAT we all get a photo of a signature on a item and then when we all get home WE put on ebay for £1million pound.. The children had saved up money for Alan' and had got a massive cardboard figure of his character in Rogue one to be signed but when told no' I said no sorry' a picture of a item being signed while I'm standing there' surely can't be no great hardship BUT I understand people's views to yes or no.. I'm a massive football supporter and been collecting autographs for years on my programmes or shirts or whatever but always try to get a picture' well' if fast enough these days..lol..

Hello Queen. Thanks for replying. No it wasn't a child with Emily it was a grown up. I thought that the fact that he was polite enough to ask and then be told No sorry was OK. To go bk to the desk and to hand his ticket over and get his money bk' we thought that was great' a nice touch..

Hiya all.. Our 1st time at this event' some prep work had gone into it for a while as I'm not in great health' 2 young children' travelling on coach.. Loved the 2 days we were there But more importantly the children enjoyed it and said they would love to go back.. BUT' a couple of things annoyed me, you wait for 40mins in a queue on crutches with young children' get to the actor then see sign" No posed photos" OK not a problem so not being rude we don't ask OK' BUT then at the same time member of staff with actor trying to hurry us up' Erm hello" I just paid £60 I would like to get a word out if possible.. Then after a week you see actor posing for photos at table?.. We waited in the Peter mayhew queue also on sunday" next to him was Emily from walking dead' on her back board it said 'No posed photos' we then noticed a young lad got to the table with camera ready and asked if he Could have picture but was told no.So with member of staff went back to table where he paid his money" and got his money back. This I thought was a great idea and very fair. So when we queued up for Alan Tudyk £40 signature" and as we got closer to paying table' the Mrs saw it said NO PHOTOS' so we asked a lady in red t-shirt" can we just get a picture of him signing item" she came back and said no, BUT if you got to the table and then asked he might say yes" so I asked" if he says no can we go bk to paying table and get money back" and she replied ' OH NO' we told you that it is no photos so that's your own Fault" so we told her what happened at Emilys table and still said NO you won't get money back..HOW about a bit of common sense from some people when others bent over backwards to help others out' maybe a few Job worths I'm afraid. SO then again days later we then see this person in posed pictures at table.. Also with the Emperor' stated no photos and then again walking through Sunday posing for selfies. So on this' I think next year I will pay the money and then ask politely if I can JUST get picture of item signed if possible. ON a great note' the gold entrance on the Saturday and sunday' the lads/ girls who helped me out as on crutches with acrushed spine' Mrs and 2 young children" we can't thank you enough for all your help and support in getting in" absolutely top notch service and great to see that some in society still have " common sense" to call upon.. CHEERS all..

Hi.. I'd put photos on but unfortunately not got a dickey bird of a idea how to do it, so Favorite items signed Slave 1 lego ship still sealed by "Jeremy bulloch' Boba fett' Boba fett "helmet" signed And a few other star wars items signed.. Would have got a couple of other great items signed BUT "who ever it maybe" wouldn't allow any photos' not even of a item being signed, BUT hey hoy..

TRUE STORY.. Being with a young lad who's only 8 and wearing a all in one darth vader costume' he turns to me and says "Dad" I need the toilet" OK pal" come on let's get you sorted' so off we trot to the dunny. Get there' and stripping him down we standing next to each other obviously minding our own business and then someone caught my eye to the left.. I looked at the old boy and I knew straight away who it was but No-One else did. I leaned over to the left and whispered in my lads ear' "Pal I'm not going to lie to you' but if you look left then you will see BOBA FETT having a wee in the same toilet as us" Being 8' he looked" then looked at me and we both started laughing.. Would you believe it' we all walked to the sink at the same time and I said to Jeremy' Their's not many people in the Galaxy who can say they have shared a toilet with BOBA FETT" and then we all started laughing.. We were still laughing when we walked back to the Mrs and my daughter who were also laughing.. SEE' sometimes it's not about how much you spend to make memories. I hope you enjoyed it..

I'd love to meet Clint Eastwood Micheal Caine Morgan freeman Hopefully they would allow us to take a picture when a item is being signed..
