... and we all had an awesome time at this event.
It was very busy and we had many things to accomplish during our week stay in San Diego. I was very fortunate to have Steve the photographer, Jeff the designer and Bill the editor helping to meet all of our deadlines and make the event a great success.
Many collectors shared in our excitement in this project and we had a very positive response to the quality of the book. Also, many collectors and Star Wars fans have told us that there was a major need for a book that would showcase everything that has been made since 1977. The last quality book that showed most of the vintage and modern items was published over 10 years ago. And we all know that Hasbro’s Star Wars output has been prodigious since that time.
Speaking of Hasbro, it was a HUGE bonus to speak with a current Hasbro employee that is involved with the current Star Wars line. This employee, who also happens to be a Star Wars collector, shared with me that Hasbro only started documenting their production items in 2005 and that this book will be a great resource for Hasbro as well as collectors. We are very excited to get this book into the hands of Hasbro, the company that has produced all these great Star Wars toys that we’ve enjoyed over the years.
We had a fantastic time at the event meeting all of the Star Wars fans and collectors, both new and old, to answer questions and share in the excitement for the project.
