Krash: 1 man = 1 figure
I don't really like that rule... as a semi-collector, I like having 2 of the same figures, that way I can keep one for my rainy days and the other one I can open up and play with 
It's not a doll, it's an action figure. Fresh Prince of Bel-air
but I agree there should be enough for everyone..
that's the other good thing about my earlier Idea. by having people requesting their figures earlier, (when they web-order their ticket) it gives the conchairs an idea of how many they need to make.
One of the so many reason they ran out of Jorg is because they never thought that 26000 fans and 1000 exhibitors and artist etc. would be there..
And you've got to admit, 54000 figures doesn't make it THAT exclusive anymore...but i'd still like to have two.

Okay, I know that Republic Credits are no good out there, but will the vendors be taking Credit Cards? Or will be cash only? Since I was not at C2, I do not know how it works. I sure would like some info on this. Thanks!

Yes some of the dealers did except credit cards at C2.
I am not sure if they all did or not though.
I bought a few things with credit cards there when I ran out of cash one day.

You had to pay cash for the Sacul figure. I don't think many dealers accepted CCs, but I didn't check that closely.
And some kind of Vader figure seems a natural for this event. Perhaps in the new vintage packaging Hasbro rolled out for 2004.

Okay folks, on average, how much money are people planning on bringing? Now, I am by no means a rich person, but I want to have a great experience while I'm there. Any tips would be helpful. Thanks!

First - the slightly OT "How to deal with the exclusive figure": Personally, I don't want mine mailed to me - there will be too many instances of peoples figures not coming in mint packaging, and as a collector I want to see it before I put down the cash. So simply limit the number everyone can buy and track it. Remember - for C2 they said 2 per person, but they never tracked it so people had 10-20 of them.
Okay - the store itself was fine last time. Were there long lines? Yup, but I think we all predicted that. And they did move pretty quickly for the volume they were dealing with. Selection was a bit skimpy, and quantities were lower than they should have been, but we have new people running C3 with all the feedback & notes from the past 2 so hopefully they can correct those problems.
My only other complaint - and it is a minor one - is that I found the merchandise a little dull. Nothing, except possibly one of the posters, really stood out or was different from what you find anywhere else. I am hoping they really do something different with the style of the apparel they sell.

Iwakura and VaderFanForever I recommend travelers checks and a small ammount of cash to take with you.
Carrying around big wads of cash is never a good idea. At least if you loose the travelers checks your not out of funds. Look into that it will be a safer bet I think.

Uilmuteiz...yes, $3000 IS a lot of money, which some of us can't afford to bring. Right now, I'm putting a lot of money into my Darth Vader suit. Living in Canada, and paying in US funds does tend to drain the old bank account, but I think it willl be worth it.
Also Uilmuteiz, I like your idea of the "goody bag". If they give us those when we register or buy our packages, that would save a lot of headaches for a lot of people...including the fans!
Finally as for items I probably will buy...program, hoodie, exclusive figure x2. I have a feeling (not being at C1, or C2) that the price of figures and collectibles will be a lot higher than eBay for example. I know people want to make a buck, but don't do it by ripping off the FANS!!!

-_-O
I wish we would live in such a world where we are not ripped off at one point or another.
As for the money, yeah I know, 3000$ is a lot of money (but if it can help you out, when I first wrote it I meant it in Canadian, I left it that way for our american friends cause for them 3000$ is as well more than enough)
I went to SW-C2 on $800 (CAD)but I missed out on a couple of things so this time around, I'm giving my expertise so that fans from all over the world can enjoy their Celebration as much as possible.

Sorry to say that unless they decide to take the Star Wars Celebration on an International tour, it most probably won't happen. Indianapolis is the most centered international town in the US.
And to go back on topic, I'd love to be able to buy a set of all the passes that will be used during the SW-C3 (like they did for SW-C1 in the Insider) but on site in the late sunday afternoon. Or at least beeing able to pre-order a set.

If that is the case, then it goes to show that Lucasfilm doesn't give a care about the fans up here in the Great White North! I understand about the location thing, but imagine people from the US coming up to Canada, expierencing our great natured hospitality! The people at Lucasfilm would LOVE us!!! Just for once it owuld be nice to see something like Celebration happen in Canada
