Ya! It's going to be 30 minutes away from my house. I can't wait.
Maybe I'll see some of you guys there! It's going to be pretty crowded there, I'll bet.

Yeah, just saw this in the Origins catalogue...sounds great, just wish it was also coming to COSI Toledo as well, but doesn't look like it is. Still sounds like it would be worth the day trip...

Bobafetch and I went to this today, and it was AWESOME.
We actually only really paid attention to the movie props. They had EVERYTHING. From Boba Fett's blaster to a whole collection of lightsabers, from jedi robes and tuskin raider clothes to actual scaled starships they used in the movies, this place had it all. And Luke's landspeeder was really cool!
It was facinating how big the battle droids were intended to be. They were about 6-7 feet tall! And the droideka prop was even bigger. I'm guessing it was 8 feet tall and 6 feet wide!
The Millenium Falcon was okay, but the wait was constantly about 30 minutes long for the 4 minute show. Plus, it didn't have much to do with Star Wars; the whole thing was about our galaxy. Still, it was kind of cool.
We didn't take any pictures because we forgot to bring a camera, but we are definatly going again, so we'll get some pics then.
Can't wait until you guys get to see it. It will be worth the wait!

I saw it when it came to New England, best part was the huge Destroyer Droid, I can't believe I never got his attacktix back in S2. (I still need him, Padme, Yoda, and the Royal Guard to be content with my collection)
