Nicely done Tantive XI Team. See you in Chicago!

Glad to hear that you're going. Look for the Chris (the89thchris) & myself in the Tantive shirts.

Those look amazing guys, as I will not be at the Star Wars Celebration Chicago I look forward to having an opportunity to own a set via the raffle. Have fun at the convention and keep us updated with some pics.

Just like the last 2 Celebrations.  If there are any single droids that don't get handed out, they will be given away on the forum to members.  I don't know how it will be done yet.  The last time, it was for the most active members.

Yes, I certainly benefitted from the last active member giveaway after Orlando:

Finished, just in time.  Here is a group shot, before getting packaged up for Chicago.

Hello Clint, that is one impressive astromech hoard! A ton of work on your part for the good of the Tantive XI site. Great work!

Enjoy the Celebration Chicago.

Impressive image, Clint! I may use it on Twitter and Instagram as a reminder one week out.

Make sure if you see Chris P. or myself, to say hi. I don't think Chris has a bio up yet. But look for the Tantive shirts.
I'll be at the Archive party and room sales, wandering the halls, and at some of the collecting track panels.

Check out this clip featuring some "behind the scenes" photos of how these droid figures were made!

Excellent video with very dramatic music [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ! Nice insight into the effort that Clint put into the Droid Army. Thanks for the effort and sharing.

Very cool, good luck to those attending, enjoy the show!

We’re on site and we’ve got droids! If you want one, find Commander Clint (he’s got a TantiveXI shirt today) and I’ll be there too (I’ve got a “La Guerre des étoiles“ shirt). I might come back on with more specific locations but the floor doesn’t open until 1pm.

Commander Clint is in front of the collectors lounge area.

I’m in line for the exhibit hall:

You got him on one of those, on the top pic he was right beside me. Here's a look at the show floor. Mainly the stuff I thought was interesting.

I starred where I think Clint might be

What's up with the severed head guy

I was looking for someone with a father christmas beard

Great pics Chris, keep em coming mate

Nice try on the first picture, but nope. I don't do line ups. You got me on the 2nd picture talking to Jason Smith. Andy, I shave the Santa beard just after New Years. It was too ironic, that I was making toys and looked like the jolly old elf. Let alone, handing out toys at the con with that beard. lol

I'm going to try and take more pictures today, of all the people that I know. Yesterday was just to much of a sensory overload for me.

I'll be up in the collector track panels this afternoon, start at 2.30 ish, for the 3 pm panel on Weird & Wild SW Collectables.

Chis will be at the Collector Track panels all day, as he'll be filming all the panels.

I'll post some more pictures later, as I'm having technical difficulties with my phone and computer.

Meet up with some more of TVR podcast crew today. Took in a couple of panels. Now just waiting to hear where & when the room sales are tonight,

So while waiting to head back for the room sales, I fell asleep on the couch and missed them.

I'll be heading to the collecting track panels shortly & will be there most of the day. Ending with the swap meet & social at 7 pm.

Where's your stamina man

Andy. I'm starting to feel my age. lol

I sat thru a bunch of great panels today. After the "Kenner: Concept Model to Collectible" panel with Chris Georgoulias & Jim Swearingen, I got to meet Jim Swearingen. He was one of the main concept developers at Kenner, when they started creating the Star Wars toys.
I'll post some pictures when I get home, and have access to my good computer.
