I'm guessing there will be a fair few people from these boards at Armageddon this weekend.

Anyone feel like sharing what they're seeing, especially when it comes to super specials on Stormtroopers? ;)

I'd certainly be interested in seeing them and would be more than happy to pay people back if they pick up anything on my behalf.
If someone should see the super-sized First Order trooper that's big enough to turn into armour for a real child that would be cool!

Thanks for the response, farmboynz. I figured as much. I'm low on disposable income, and to be tempted with big and flashy goodies would be tough.
I'm mostly into the higher-end collectibles like Sideshow and Hot Toys, and those cost a fortune most of the time.

But hey, you never know there might be something that pops up :)

Found the Expo rather lacking in Star Wars figures. Not a single black series to be seen. Boourns. Otherwise a fun day out.

Yeah, the Star Wars product offerings are a little weak this year.

I've been taking a few photos...will get more sorted and posted in a while.

Can't wait for Star Wars Battlefront. Plus a great place to take pictures :)

wow that's an impressive list!

Great to see everyone on Saturday and Saturday night and catch up everyone was suitably dehydrated and very funny. I'll be sure to make more of the SWNZ meet ups.

Hey Tams, Lou and Snibo oddly enough the next night I stayed at a mates house and one of his flat mates is a german tourist :) I swear I'm not making this up. I kept hearing Steve everytime he spoke.
