Another great time had by us all and from the video and photo's, the general public as well.
The sun was out and it was going to be a hot day outside at least. Inside was well temperature maintained.
The droids lined up.
This event and others around the country, was run by Monopoly Events.
Early entry doors opened at 8:30am, hence why we had to be there early lol. The queue was massive [see video]! Our location was just off the main entrance foyer on tiled floor. The main area's have carpet and for the heavier droids this wasn't good for performance 😖
The display table.
Pauls R2 & my R5
Oliver brought R2KT
Mike’s droid no1……
Awesome 3D printed Buzz costume
Mr Terry Cooper arrived as MARVIN, from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
As per, I had been following Terry’s progress over the months of hard work, and the results speak for themselves.
MARVIN won first place in the cosplay competition!!
THE John Cena.
There were three entrance time slots, and as can be seen in the video of the day, the venue was busy but not crowded. Plenty of space for people to mingle without getting in peoples way for photos etc.
We got to chat with lots of people interested in the droids, asking how they were built etc. and entertained kids big and small. Had a few run-ins with Dalek’s lol but nothing we couldn’t handle. I took a few photo's but mostly video, so check it out below link
I will in future pack food lol as although there are a few cafes, come lunchtime/afternoon they had queues as long as the entrance ones and the others had sold out of food. We all had a great time though and look forward to the next one, hopefully with more droids.
