  1. Hi There

    The pre order price for Buzz is £250

    It will not change.

    The price he will charge on the day will probably be less than that for the base price but not by a significant amount.

    We will not have the images available for viewing but you can specify the type of image you want and i will do my best to match it as close as possible.

  4. Hi

    I can't make it to Autographica because I will be on my honeymoon. However I can't miss the opportunity to get Buzz Aldrins auto. Although I feel a bit wary of ordering it online. Has anyone else done this before?

     

    Also, what photo will he autograph?

     

    Thanks in advance if you can answer my questions.

  5. Hi There

    Yes you are correct there are a lot of ups and downs at this hotel.

    However there are multiple lifts and Disabled visitors are of course welcome.

    We will make every effort to try and ensure your visit is as hassle free as possible.

  6. Hi Guys

    We are aware of and working on the problem.

    We are not aware of any harmful viruses present and it is probably a coding problem.

    Not everyone is reporting a problem and it only seems to affect some browsers.

    Let you all know when we have looked into it a bit more.

    Meantime if you need to contact us use the plastic bone shaped instrument in the corner of your living room.

    Or for you space fans the saturn 5 shaped telephone which you have nicknamed either Buzz or neil.

    Safe surfing everyone will keep you updated.

  10. Dave, is it one person one ticket for photoshoots? I'm hoping I might persuade my sister to allow my nephew to come down. I got Buzz's sig last time for his christening present, and he got a big thrill from a movie about flies that got to go to the Moon. Apparently, at the end, Buzz walks into shot to assure folks it's impossible for the flies to survive the trip. It then cuts to the classic shot of Buzz on the Moon, then closes in to the visor.. revealing the flies inside the visor..

     

    If I wanted a shot of the 3 of us, would that be 2 tickets?

     

    O.K i will try and clear this up.

    The photo shoots are 1 ticket per person.

    The only exception is if you have a child with you who is 10 or under.

    No children will be admitted unless accompanied by a ticket holding adult

     

    The Buzz photoshoot is selling very well so make sure you get yours as early as possible.
