Sci-Fi Scarborough convention 14-15 March 2015

Guys just a quick post to flag the upcoming Sci-Fi Scarborough convention on 14-15 March 2015. From a Star Wars point of view there will be a bunch of guests worth seeing, including Darth Vader himself (no not vintage collector Bill McBride, David Prowse!) and various actors who played characters in the original trilogy.

There will also be comic book artists (I’m a comic collector as well so pumped about this), prop displays, cosplay and loads of games and entertainment. What I’m looking most forward to though is the big piss up on the Saturday night!

For those who don’t know Scarborough, it’s a lovely seaside town sitting on the North Sea in the north of England and definitely looks like a place worth checking out and I’m sure it will be a unique experience.

I’m probably going and I know a bunch of collectors from the Imperial Gunnery Forum are also attending. If you are there, feel free to give us a shout. We’d love to share a beer with any vintage collector.

Hope to see you all there!

‘F.A.C.T.S’ 2014 SCI-FI and ANIME Festival this weekend in Belgium!

Just a quick post to spread the word about F.A.C.T.S –  a great science fiction and anime festival on this weekend from 18-19 October in Ghent, Belgium. There will be loads of Star Wars related activities and guests, headlined by Carrie Fisher, so all you Star Wars fans who live in the area should get down there. Unfortunately I can’t make it and of course I’m very disappointed! Not only do I love Carrie Fisher but I’m also a big fan of Dutch actress Carice Van Houten – one of the stars of Game of Thrones and she also seems to pop up in every second Dutch film…

Ghent is also a fabulous place to visit. I’ve been there a couple of times and I always recommend it to my international visitors.

Have fun!
