I REMEMBER YOU!!

Sorry I denied you your request to hold my blaster ( I'm not the trooper in your pic , I was one of the one's in the lobby)
But the UKG rules bans us from doing so.

Your mate was mistaken for Johnny Vegas by half the troopers there by the way laugh

Well that's okay, a Man's blaster is his own affair, lol.

And that's not the first time Simon has been mistaken for Johnny Vegas either laugh .

Anyway, it was nice to meet you!

    I went this morning. it turned out to be a real good choice of day and time - hardly anyone was there and I could examine the exhibits and take pics as long as I wanted. (When I get them sorted out online I will post a link). I liked the lifesize Naboo Starfighter but the light show above it made taking pics pretty hard.
    There is no SW merchandise shop inside the exhibit. However, there is one just outside the building. I asked the guy why it wasn't inside and he said it was due to some council regulation. The stand wasn't there when I went in but it was open when I came out. I ended up buying a T-shirt (£14.00 for adult sizes). They had some items - shirts, coffee mugs, pins. There were also a few Kotobukiya statues for £9 cheaper than at Forbidden Planet (I went there afterwards). The guy selling stuff said the exhibit was packed on the weekend and he sold a lot of his Koto figures then. There weren't any other collectable figures.

    hi
    i went to the exhibit on sunday, and they did have a very small merchandise store which was set up out the back of the hall, in a portable trailer! In there they had exhibtion t-shirts and stuff, and shirts that said "may the force be with you" and stuff.
    I was expecting a bit more there. I loved the exhibition though, it was fabulous!!!

    Yeah, that's the place. There are signs for it as you get to the exhibit exit.

    Here's some photos I took today. Apologies in advance for the flash - a lot of the exhibit was too dark to do without and some of the rooms were too small to get an angle where the flash wouldn't glare off of something. Also in the album is a pic I took of the life-size Animated Leia that Forbidden Planet have in their window. (This was for the folks in the Collecting forum).

    I finally got round to visiting the exhibition today. Glad I got there before school term ends.

    I didn't enjoy it as much as the Barbican one though, but it think it was because it was spread out into lots of little rooms.

    Anyhow, all my pics are here - http://www.esnips.com/web/FizzbinStarWars

    What date does the exhibition finish, I wish to go at least twice and probably 3 times with different groups of friends, Lord Tice will be pressured into going for sure!

    Open until 7pm each day, last entry at 6pm.

    Their website doesn't say what the end date for this exhibition is.

    I think I read somewhere that it goes until some time in September.
