Optimus Comic Con - Bristol (UK) - Saturday 20th October 2018 - Review

For once, not an early start, only 20 minutes to reach into town & to Templemeads Train Station. The Passenger Shed is on the approach incline leading up to the station itself.

We had a change of floor plan on arrival.

We joined two other 'Star Wars' display's in the centre area of the hall. This was better as there was a lot more space for us all.

Early doors opened and the hall filled up with lots of people. There was a lot to see as well as stall's and guests. The droids were in demand with people wanting photos of the and also the Emperors chair, belonging to Carbonite Cosplay Props.

As per usual, getting around at these events is usually limited, due to people wanting to see the droids in one place. We did have a C-3PO standiee & also a Kenny Baker.

These guys came with a Chopper, that was outside having photo's taken.

We lined the droids up as people were wanting group shots, this made things a bit easier too.

And here's the photographer....

Some more group shots...

Size comparrison of R2-XL & R2-D2.

Paul Warren popped over to see us and had a quick catch-up chat.

I wasn't there at the time, but was told he'd asked to have his picture taken with R5!

Finally we had our photos taken with the Emperors chair.

photo credit goes to DC Photo's for this one, he can be found on Facebook.

Another well attended event, and a plus for it being local lol.

After packing up and loading R5 into the car. I popped back in to have a quick look around whilst everyone was clearing up. I spied a few movie posters that were actually ones displayed in cinemas. So I grabbed a few.

Three picture 'Solo - a Star Wars Story' ones and a plain 'The Last Jedi' one.

Similar to this picture, except mine have the actual release date on them.

Next event is London's MCM Comic Con
