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.
