Auckland Armageddon 2010 (was: SWNZ returns to Armageddon)

Post by MattG »

The press release has gone live on the Armageddon Expo website, so it's official: SWNZ will be returning to Armageddon for the October expo in Auckland. It's been a few years since SWNZ had a stand/exhibit at Armageddon (although we did have a presence at the expos in both Auckland and Wellington for a couple of consecutive years), so it will be good to be back, and to put on a display representing all the collectibles and hobbies that SWNZ covers and supports.
SWNZ press release wrote:Star Wars New Zealand (http://www.SWNZ.co.nz) is an online community that supports all Star Wars hobbies in New Zealand. Through the SWNZ website, message boards, and social network pages, you can stay current with news and events relevant to kiwi Star Wars fans. Whether your interest is collecting, reading novels or comics, gaming, miniatures, prop-building, costuming, or just keeping up to date with the New Zealand celebrities and artists that have been, or are, involved in the Star Wars universe, SWNZ has everything you need.

For the Armageddon Expo in Auckland, October, SWNZ will be staging an exhibition that represents the diverse array of Star Wars hobbies in New Zealand. The SWNZ display will cater to fans of all ages, and draw from both movie trilogies, as well as the newer television series and other extensions of the continuity. Come along to see unique and rare collectibles from the last 33 years, life-sized statues, robots and costumes of characters from the screen and expanded universe.

You've given me some interesting ideas, thanks! Let me get back to you once I've got a bit more of the planning sorted, but either way, I appreciate the offer.

Thanks for the support guys.

We've got a lot planned in order to make something really worth coming along to see and photograph, that's different from, and complementary to, other Star Wars representation (such as the 501st and Reel Collectibles).

Stay tuned - will update as plans unfold (but might keep a few things up our sleeves as a surprise for the actual event).
