sarah-monster Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I must admit to shrieking when I read who it was - I've been dying to meet CL for so long!!! And then I saw the £45... Oh screw it, doubt I'll ever meet him again, pass the credit card... Any idea why it's so much though? For that money you'd be expecting a photo/song and dance routine from him, surely?? Ah well. Has anyone met him before? It seems that he's quite strict when it comes to autographs etc judging by comments on here so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagart Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 This is a most unexpected addition and a great one - I do wish he was allowing more than one per person though. How do you choose between Bond, LOTR, SW, Wicker Man, etc? Nice problem though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie1138 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 /sigh... my wife says i'm wrong,wrong(!) to say christopher lee isn't an icon/myth/legend of the silver screen. she says he is! so there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie79 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I can afford £45 easy, willing to pay, and the high price tag for me means I have a better chance of meeting him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theThinWhiteDuke Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 awesome guest.....but I think Dreyfuss was better.... not gonna get him though; reason is I already got his autograph (as Dooku) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirefruit Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 The one person I really want to sign my LotR book (he wasn't allowed when I met him), and now it can happen.... if I can work out if I can afford it or not. The talk will be worth it, but you can't put the great man where you normally do talks, it's an injustice! He needs a theatre! I could listen to Mr Lee talk all day long, but I don't think I want to see him on a makeshift stage, with folding chairs (and walls). It just doesn't seem right. There's me thinking I'll have a cheap LFCC with just Maggie.... no chance! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Van Dort Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Thanks SM! Mr. Lee is a true gentleman, having met him thrice previously. I already have his auto on loads of stuff, but will no doubt go & see him again, to get his auto on my LOTR Italian poster! Cheers SM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess83 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Amazing guest, but far too expensive for me. I'm lucky I can afford £25 for Carrie Fisher (er, actually I can't really, but it's the bloody Princess). So I'll have to give him a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich5wolves Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 awesome guest.....but I think Dreyfuss was better.... maybe at last he wasnt 45£ lol I would have gladly paid that for Dreyfuss! I would have paid £45 for Dreyfuss but id pay £60 for Lee and some. Cant wait to meet him, see the talk, write the theme tune - sing the theme tune lol Amazing! He is the best guest SM have ever announced in my opinion / bar maybe Buzz Aldrin. What a night! Im so happy! Telling everyone! CANT WAIT! Aspen our drinks on Sat will have to be whisky!

crippsy_99 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I dont see what all the fuss is about the guy..when my friend texts me the announcement I couldnt even think of who he was heh other than "that evil wizard guy from LOTR" but seeing this thread now oh yeah Count Dooku.. Still wont be seeing him though, while I like LOTR and Star wars, never been much if a fan so to speak..for £45..ouch! And there was me saying £20 for the LOST guests is a lot Dont remember him in Bond and dont think ive seen him in anything else.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesterrace Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Great guest , can't afford it personally - already met him and got him to sign my Lord Of The Rings posters , and what fun asking him to sign the 3rd film , which apparently he wasn't in And the REAL reason that he doesn't sign Dracula photos is that he didn't like people turning up in capes and with blood makeup at signings so he decided not to sign anymore . PS If anybody wants someone to get an autograph , I'll gladly help out as I am not getting one myself . just read the conditions can anyone else get one of my posters signed? I can get it signed if you want , email at tansternant* on aol if you still need help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 And then I saw the £45.. Any idea why it's so much though? Because he can. This aint some up n' coming actor from some flavour of the month TV show but an iconic acting legend with a career spanning over 60 years with at least one signature role.

Trialia Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 *throws up hands* I thought you said "amazing"? Don't get me wrong, he's a great actor, but I'm not really a fan. Are you serious? Amazing is exactly what we got! Completely and wholly serious. I'm not remotely interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not interested in meeting him. *shrugs* As I said before, with the recent cancellations the only guest I actually care about meeting now is Rachel Luttrell.

jonchatty Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 great SM Its not too badly priced at the end of the day it would cost more to buy it from a shop. Glad im there for both days now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Flying Gribble Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Autographs are 1 PER PERSON ONLY, and you can only get into the autograph queue if you are buying an autograph. I really want to get this, but can't leave my young daughter on her own and don't think I can stretch to 2 autographs given the others we're getting. Is there any leeway on this at all? (Excuse the pun ) TFG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Fox Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 £45 is expensive for an autograph, but then again it is Christopher Lee so I am more than happy to pay that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzlerjames Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 If you buy an autograph from his website it costs£60 and you don't even get to meet him - I just hope that the price includes more than a grunt at you as you are fed through. A photo would be excellent!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
