COLLECTORMANIA 20
Collectormania 20 was held at the MK Dons arena in November 2013.
Showmasters had changed the layout of the event by putting everything in one hall. It was so much better, but will be even better next year when the hall will be complete.

Billy Dee Williams
I was super excited to meet Billy. To me he is a massive character in the Star Wars universe. He plays Lando Calrissian.
When I met him he was quiet but friendly. I asked him if he was offered the role of Two-Face in Batman Forever and he turned it down or if he was not approached.
He told me that after Batman Returns, the franchise was bought by another company and they wanted to go in a different direction with the series. He then said that it was the same with the new Batman films. I told him that the Tim Burton Batman is my favourite Batman movie.
I then asked him if I could have a photo taken, but he said no. The person sitting next to him then said I had to go and buy a photo shoot ticket. It felt slightly awkward, but I just smiled and said "fair enough, thank you".
I shook his hand and that was it. He was friendly and answered my question. It was a pleasure to meet him. I hope he is in the new film somewhere.

Jeremy Bulloch
I have met Jeremy before. He was very nice before, and this time he was again very nice.
He was not even sitting behind his desk to meet the fans. He was standing in front of the table so that he could stand and chat with everyone. He was even really happy to pose for photos.
My eldest daughter took this photo and when Jeremy saw her with the camera, he asked if she was a professional photographer. I told him that it was my camera and I am trying to become a professional. He wished me luck. When the photo was taken, he blinked his eyes and said he was blinded and asked me where I was. A very pkleasant meet and greet. It is always a pleasure to meet Boba Fett.

Now, with Jeremy added to my Star Wars poster... I have 10 signatures. I look forward to getting more.
Sammy meets Danny John Jules
Seeing as Sammy started a Red Dwarf photo at Collectormania 19, she wanted to meet Danny to add another on to the photo. She had already met him before with me, but she wanted to meet him on her won this time, so I stayed back.
When she walked up to him, he smiled and said hello. She said hi and gave him the photo, he took it and asked her if she only knew him from Red Dwarf. She told him that she also used to watch the Storymakers when she was really little so knows him from there. He was very happy to pose for a photo with her. He then even shook my hand and said hi. He is a really funny and nice man.
