Collecting Track and StarTots Pins Return for Celebration 2022

 

The popular Star Wars Celebration Collecting Track returns for Celebration Anaheim.

Part of every Celebration since 1999, the Collecting Track features panels by the fans for the fans as some of the hobby's most well known collector's share their knowledge and the stories behind the toys that so many of us love and cherish. Each panel also gives out a free Star Tots pin to attendees at the end, and this year will be no exception! These pins have become incredibly popular with fans and collectors so make sure you attend the panels if you want to get your hands on them.

Some Early Celebration Europe 2023 Advice

Image
  Over the next few weeks I'm going to start updating this blog with a new 2023 hub and working on new guides for next year. But for those of you who want to get the jump on things I figured I'd do a quick post with the information we do have (and a little on what we can expect to be different from last time Celebration was in London). Next year Star Wars Celebration is returning to London, and to the ExCeL Center where both Celebration Europe 2007 and 2016 were held. This will be the first four day Celebration in Europe and will take place over the Easter weekend from Friday, April 7, to Monday, April 10. Ticket sales haven't been announced yet (hopefully we should see them in the next month or two), so most of this will be focused on hotels and how things ran in 2016.

Here are hotels next to ExCeL London: Whilst the majority of these booked

SWAG at Star Wars Celebration Japan

Image
  The SWAG Crew is back and better than ever for Star Wars  Celebration Japan with a new website that is the perfect resource for learning all about SWAG and helping you to create your own. Fan made SWAG (stuff we all get/stuff we all give) is one of the nicest things to receive at Star Wars Celebration. It's different from the official freebies (cool as they are) because you know that this is something that someone has created themselves just to give away to their fellow fans. It's that personal touch that makes the fan SWAG so special. Want to get involved and make your own SWAG? The SWAG Crew Facebook page  is still here with a brilliant community who are more than ready to help you take your first steps into a larger fan world. But for anyone new to SWAG you simply have to check out their new website ! From the history of the SWAG crew to everything you need to know about making your own. There are guidelines, FAQs, links to recommended suppliers who can make your SWAG once
