[@michaeldebalso6719]

I think it’s so cool to see how many friends Joey has made in just a short time of collecting, it’s amazing to see the community just come together and support each other in such a close knit family! It warms my heart and makes me feel so proud to be a collector as well!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Michael! It was fun to meet everyone that I’ve bought from and also people that I’ve met along the way :). The community aspect of this con was simply the best. It’s like you are at a family reunion

[@woodrowhull5811]

Having a VIP like that is so cool. Usually an hour or so but a full day is worth it.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Hey Woodrow! Yea I got their late on day 1 so although I used the VIP to get into the sales floor and to get Ashley’s autograph, I wish I would have gotten there sooner to take full advantage and see more celebs, and also to do the vip meet and greets with the celebs. I missed out on that. Next year I will go a day early. Thanks for watching Woodrow!

[@hamm5437]

Great ep! I'm relieved you now have prune face now.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Lapusso! And thanks for watching and being a channel member!!!!

[@scubapete9500]

What an amazing Day 1! 👍😎😎

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Scuba! It was a jammed packed short day! Day 2 and 3 are even more jammed packed!!!

[@Superawesomegeekshow]

Awesome. So glad you got to meet Ashley. She is such a great person. Nilda and Joey!!! -I recognize that entry to their store. heheh Such awesome gifts. So glad ya had a good time at ICCC. Wish I had gone also.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Haha I knew you went to go visit them so I “ borrowed” the clip haha. Ashley was awesome. And she really did take the time not only to talk to me, but every person she met.

[@Superawesomegeekshow]

@@thepadawancollectorofficial hey no worries. anytime and anything is always up for grabs for you to use as you need. I do wish I had been able to go and meet up with you. -plus see Ashley again. She had been on the podcast and we met a few times at various conventions through the years and she is always nice and glad to see everyone who comes out. a real pleasure. I ended up with my brother in Tampa that weekend going over his cancer and future treatment plans so I was with him instead of going to ICCC this year. Hopefully next year I can go. Only thing is -I wish I had given one of you guys money to get and autograph from The Emperor on an 8x10 photo print. eh well, hopefully he will come back to the states and I can see him again somewhere else.

[@ApprenticeEwok]

Wow. MOC Wicket and gettting to talk to Ashley, dream come true!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

I was super stoked to meet her!!! She was so awesome :). Thanks for watching Brandon!

[@garymoore1975]

Awesome 👏! I can’t wait until next week and my 1st Star Wars Celebration…

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Wow that’s gonna be HUGE!!! I’m gonna be there on Sunday! It’s going to be my first celebration as well :)

[@SeriouslyStarWars]

Looks like it was an awesome first day! It’s definitely fun talking to the vendors and other fans at these conventions!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks SSW! It was an amazing day! I was a little tired from traveling all day, but got energized as soon as I got into the venue! So much fun :). Thanks for watching my friend!

[@scotthildebrand3148]

[@joggeunc]

This video really warms my heart! So much love in the community 🖤

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Jogs! The community is amazing! And thank YOU my friend for watching and taking the time to comment

[@DanMiller1168]

It was great meeting you. The lovely Mrs. Miller and I will bring a bigger bottle of bourbon next year. One that we will open and enjoy with you! See ya soon

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Hey Dan! Can’t thank you both enough for your amazing gift and taking the time to talk to me. Next year Mrs Padawan and I will have to take you out for drinks! Until next time my friend, it was a blast getting to finally meet you

[@MoparMcNeer]

Looks like day 1 was out of this world Joey. So fantastic that you were able to meet Ashley & get your items autographed. And pick up the MOC Wicket too. And you received so many thoughtful gifts, but I could tell it was meeting those friends that really meant the most. Can't wait to see what Day 2 had in store. Side note, Don't know how much footage you got of actual items that were for sale at the event, but would love to see a whole segment showcasing many of the items that were available and what their current asking prices were. That's of real interest to me, and it's always cool to see everything out there vintage wise that is for sale at these shows.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Hey Mopar! I can def add that in an episode. On day 2 and three I showcase prices and more show floor so hopefully that gives an insight as to what’s there and what the prices are. But that’s good insight for future cons!

[@xdd_fishlips2333]

Awesome Joey. That convention looks great. So pleased you meet Ashley. She seems so nice. That Wicket moc is so good mate. Can’t wait for the next episode! Take care Joey and thanks for always putting a smile on my face 🤘

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks XDD! Always an honor to know you are watching. It was such an honor to meet Ashley as well! I was a super fan boy haha!

[@Dayma021]

Can't wait to see some more video of the show floor! Great stuff

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Dayma! Next episode is mostly on the show floor and some of the panels :)

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

Man, I'm happy for you. This is like SW Toy Collector's heaven, for you, I'm sure. Am I the only one who thinks We may very well see a silver Snowtrooper somewhere in The Mandalorian Saga? I agree, I like the Ahsoka patch, too. Are you gonna put it on a jacket or sweatshirt? Congrats, Bro.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Anthony! I was in heaven! I had a smile on my face the whole time! Kinda like walking through disneyland or something :). I hope we see a silver Snowtrooper in anything star wars lol! Im going to put the patch in my scrapbook! I cant wait to show that at the end of my loose run :)

[@SuperSorrell]

amazing video!! so stoked you got to meet AHSOKA HERSELF!! great episode as always friend.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks SuperSorrell! Ashley was so cool and generous of her time, not only with me, but every single one of her fans! Thanks for watching my friend and taking the time to comment :)

Looks like you had a great time I got some great stuff

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks DMR! It was a great time! It was like a vacation to me. And I needed something like that. I hadn’t had a real vacation like that in many many years and it was so worth it, just for my sanity’s sake. I’m honored to have you watch my friend!

[@JorgeRodriguez-ex5rr]

I’m so jelly man. Looks like you had a blast. It’s always nice to hear when a star is nice to their fans and is so generous with their time. I love that they make you feel as they care about the time you put into appreciating their work. Some very nice gifts and pick ups as well. Can’t wait to see what else you picked up. Cheers brother

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Jorge! Ashely was the best! So kind and generous of her time! Im more of a fan now for sure! The gifts were icing on the cake, but getting to meet friends in real life for the first time was priceless! Thanks for watching my friend and thank you for the awesome comment :)
