Planning to attend Star Wars Celebration IV in Los Angeles from May 24th-28th? Well, you had better start making your travel plans now because it's already mid-April! This year's big 30th Anniversary Celebration IV convention will be held in the Los Angeles Convention Center from May 24th-28th, and a big group of Star Wars-loving Sideshow staff will be there to meet and greet collectors and debut brand new Star Wars products! The Sideshow booth number at CIV will be #410... make sure to come by to visit us each day (or better yet, multiple times each day!) at the convention. See ya on Memorial Day weekend!

This week marks the last of our Star Wars 30th Anniversary Priority Pre-Order events! Remember, if you have pre-ordered the Attendee editions, you MUST pick your items up at Celebration IV between 12:00 PM (PT) on Thursday, May 24th, and 12:00 PM (PT) on Sunday, May 27th. All canceled products will be offered to walk-up Attendees beginning Monday morning, May 28th. If you are in doubt about your attendence, please pre-order the Non-Attendee editions to be safe! ***Also keep in mind that credit cards will begin processing for these Exclusives during the week of May 3rd, and Non-Attendee shipping will begin at the end of May, so be sure to make the necessary financial arrangements before then - we'd hate to have to cancel your order due to a decline. To help get you through the process, we have provided helpful FAQs, and you can also contact our caring Customer Service department if you have any additional questions!
