    I am in Denmark, Europe.

    I have an option of either $114.68 with USPS or $153.02 with UPS. And then I have to pay added TAX, VAT and fee when it comes to Denmark before they will give it to me. I am not sure if it is worth it. :(

    I wasn't planning on buying anything anyway, but the prices made it an easy decision to pass.

    I guess I'm a sucker. I got a few things. My daughter fell in love with the BB-8 avocado shirt and said it would be fun if we matched with them, so I had to get us each one. I also had to have the Luke/tauntaun plush (with the X eyes, obviously). I also got the baseball style ESB 40th anniversary shirt.

    I wanted a shirt that said Anaheim 2020 for the novelty, but I'm not a pin guy so the extra $15-25 for the pins kept me away from that.

    All in all it is a bit expensive, but at the physical store last year they undercharged me like $150 so I don't feel too guilty about spending some money.

    Ouch! That's expensive!! I'm glad I am not buying anything. However, my pre-order will ship for free! For once, I did the pre-order properly and it pays off! I missed the deadline to pre-order for Chicago and I am not one to wait 8 hours for the physical store. I'm lucky to still have everything I wanted. I think the Force was with me... no such thing as luck. :falcon:

    Yeah that seems to be the case. Anything linked to my ticket purchase (like lottery entries/wins/losses in Chicago and this now) I get. General info mails, even ones telling me the event is cancelled, don't come through.

    Yikes!! This definitely puts me off ordering from the UK if they add anything I'd like in the next waves.

    Thank you to @Obi Anne and @LAJ_FETT for doing the Celebration forum event this weekend. It's impossible to match the feel of Celebration, but it was fun to have the various threads to reminisce on. I've also been doing the ST Trivia event and that's been a lot of fun.

    Also, a huge thank you to everyone who checked out our film this weekend. I'm glad everyone seemed to have a fun time watching it!

    Hopefully we can do this for real in '22!

    I too agree 100%! This was a fun substitute for the real thing. I know how much work and thought goes into planning these things and it is truly appreciated! The Force is strong here!

    It felt like a virtual forum meetup which was much needed with the cancellations of cons and Celebrations this year. I enjoyed reading everyone's stories though I still have threads to go through. And thanks to everyone for the support of our little film, so happy it brought y'all joy, or at least entertainment lol.

    I've enjoyed thinking back to previous Celebrations. Maybe we should do it an annual thing. On years when there is no Celebration we have a week of virtual Celebration, we wouldn't need a fully separate forum, but just a reminder of what we are looking forward to.

    I'm working on plans to make @ChrisLyne go shoot scenes in the snow in Norway for our sequel as we speak.

    Seems they restock.
    The Tauntaun X-Eyes was also sold out during the weekend, but was available again later.

    And my bad on complaining about the $114.68 shipping. I didn't notice until later, that it was do to the number of things I wanted.
    I had looked to buy the umbrella from Chicago when they opened the shop online later, but as I recall, the shipping was in the $100+, so I assumed the $114.69 was the price without altering the number of things in the basket. Anyway shipping to me is $24.80 as the lowest for one item and then it rises indefinitely depending upon the number of things wanted.

    Anyone get the email about the store closing on September 7th? Looks like store reopenings with new stuff is something we have to look forward to for the next two years.

    New stuff available hopefully. I’d like to purchase the whole pin set and not get all those stupid shirts.

    I got 22. I'm good with old Legends and the films, but I haven't seen the animated series or kept up with the new EU. All in all I'm pretty satisfied with it anyway.
