Star Wars Roadshow Update
Got toys? Want to know what they are worth? Fans and collectors alike may bring up to 10 Star Wars items per day to Todd Carlton's "Super Collector" booth, our local resident expert, for him to identify, grade, and appraise. Todd, the author of the all new 2002 Star Wars Super Collector's Wish Book writes a challenge to the fans: "if any customer brings in an item (2001 and earlier) that is not listed in his all new Wish Book, that person will receive $5.00 off the immediate purchase of the book.
In between apprasials and grading, Todd will be displaying and discussing pieces from his own collection with fans and collectors. Todd will also be covering guidelines for grading, cleaning, restoring, and caring for your collectibles and memorabilia".

So dig into your closets and pull out your old Star Wars treasures. You never know what it might be worth!

Autographs Explained
All tickets into this event are numbered. VIP ticket holders have lower numbers than general admission tickets. (We call out groups of ticket numbers to meet the celebrities) Because of time constraints, only vip ticket holders are guaranteed to meet all the celebrity guests. and general admission ticket holders may not have the opportunity to meet the headline guests.
All our celebrity guests charge a fee to sign memorabilia or to sign one of the photos from their selection of work. Fees have ranged at past events from $10.00 to $20.00. Payment for these autographs are made directly to the guests at the show, except Tem Morrison. Tem's autograph session will require a special autograph coupon that entitles you to one autograph on any one item you present, or on our Jango Fett color 8x10 photo. While there is no limit to the number of coupons you may purchase, customers are limited to 10 items per person per visit. (so if you want more than that, you will have to get in line a second time) This will the line move more smoothly for everyone waiting.
