Guys,

Thinking about sending a personal item in, but if I do I'll miss the first round. How difficult will it be to obtain Mike Quinn and Howie Hammerman later on?

Quinn does alot of shows and will definately be t C5, I dont kow how oftern Hammerman signs but I dont think he's that uncommon.

Mighty_Jabba · Jan 8, 2010

Will they be posting pictures of the various signers signing the pieces? This is my first CS piece so I'm not sure what they've done in the past, but I think that would be cool.

Did you ever here anything back on this?

I've got a letter out to the Freeborns about a potential scum signing.

Joshua_B · Jan 17, 2010

Very doubtful as Freeborn has a new address

It's taken that the Freeborn's are no longer living at the Rectory Garden address as there are reports of people getting RTS's.

starwarsgrapher · Jan 17, 2010

that's a mortal lock they don't live there. redav knows that for sure as do I. I stopped by there in person, they are gonzo from that house. beautiful area and the town there is very nice, but i think they needed more hands on care from family (son) and they are hopefully getting it now. wonderful people, both of them.

this is from 2007 before the start of CE, one of the all-time great collecting moments of my life

Cperry06 · Jan 17, 2010

Shoot, I had a TTM letter ready to go to Mr. Freeborn. If anyone has a new address I would greatly appreciate it. Please PM me with info.

TheSithCalls · Jan 17, 2010

The harsh reality is that Mr. Freeborn may not be signing at all anymore.

Regardless, I just hope the best for his health as well as Kay's.

I had sent one out a few weeks before it became known they were no longer at Rectory Garden. I have not yet received RTS, but I imagine it is only a matter of time.

darthlumbar · Jan 22, 2010

Joshua_B · Jan 22, 2010

Just freakin AWESOME...soooooo excited to have him on the CS

JasonHutch · Jan 22, 2010

Can't wait to see how it turns out

jedibill · Jan 22, 2010

Great job Watto's!

Only1Kenobi · Jan 22, 2010

Lovely stuff.

sucho23 · Jan 22, 2010

Awesome. Stuart Freeborn!!!! and Roger Christian. Great Job Wattos.

DarthNervous · Jan 22, 2010

Sweet!!

DarthPotts1975 · Jan 22, 2010

Aswome is the only word that comes to mind -

madchimp · Jan 22, 2010

This piece just went from a home run to a grand slam. Im jacked. Nice job Wattos!

Spiffy · Jan 22, 2010

WOW

DarthPotts1975 · Jan 23, 2010

I'm still pyched from seeing the Email, this is really an Awsome addition!! I had recently sold my only Freeborn photo because it was an 8x10 so this is great news to me.

I'd love to be able to add him to my Jabba's Palace photo but understand if signing personal items would be too much for him.

captsithpark · Jan 23, 2010

That's GREAT newz! (actually rather AWESOME!) WoW!

(Cross u'r fingers extra-hard scumm'rs that he would so honour us w/ some of his time for a bit O' personal-item scribbling)

I know I have a few items that could be graced w/ his sig. (IF he decides yes (but I'd imagine w/ a limit per) It's going 2 b a rather tough decision ahead)

.. I would think-it-rather groovy if Kay would b part of this also

Actually, the email also stated that one of the conditions of his doing the CS piece was that he will not sign personal items, only the CS piece. Bummer, but when you take into consideration his age - he' 96 - just getting him is a major coup. Very stoked about this announcement, and I cannot wait to get this piece - this will be awesome!

Yeah but it also stated AFTER the CS signing they would see if Mr. Freeborn would have any interest in signing other items.

There's still hope -

Check the last sentence of point 3 .. Looks as though Wattos will at least be talking w/ Mr. Freeborn about the possibility of .. My Email doesn't say anything about conditions of the CS?

OK stupid question. How did everyone find out about the Jabba CS piece? Were you sent personal e-mails from Wattographs? Wattographs has had my e-mail for a long time and it hasn't changed, and I was enrolled in the Ewoks and Wookiee signings and now the CS Hoth signing, but I never found out about the Jabba CS piece until I saw this thread about two weeks ago. So of course now I'm screwed but I was just curious how everyone was informed of this.

Thanks,
Dave (geester1)

I check the site weekly.

Keeping check on the Wattographs website may be of help.

i do wonder what the backstory and provenance of the prop is

I was fortunate enough to receive this rubber piece (of the Sarlacc) & 2 other pieces of outer-lining (from the Barge) at a David West Reynolds panel at CIV

Along w/ some Sand from Buttercup Valley that I have and the Wattos Jabba CS piece I'm in the midst of working out if/how this all can be displayed together

That would make a great display.

If anyone is looking to do something similar I have large wood section of Jabba's Sail barge available.

How much ? Would love to get a peice of the barge

zhamlau · Jan 30, 2010

The more i think about this piece, the happier i get...i know no ones ever landed the guy who did the voice of jabba, but if he is still out there and ever shows up, this would be about as complete as you can get with that. God, how cool is this one. Cant wait to see it. i put very few pieces on my wall...very VERY few....this will be one of them.

Joshua_B · Jan 30, 2010

ya,this is going to be a great piece. adding Freeborn was just plain HUGE. going to hang this next to Salacious. just need the rebo band now.

Didn't Larry Ward pass away in 1985?

darthlumbar · Feb 4, 2010

There seems to be quite a bit of misinformation about Larry Ward on the internet, and he seems (at least on IMDB) to be intertwined with an older actor of the same name. I have also heard that he passed away in 2007, but don't have any concrete info on that. I have been actively searching out info on him lately, and will share some interesting tidbits at some point soon...

Mighty_Jabba · Feb 13, 2010

I'd like to know what the story is with Larry Ward. I've also seen the year 2007 mentioned as the year of his death, but it seems odd that I've never heard of any appearances or autographs from him in the years since ROTJ came out if he passed away so recently. Unless he just didn't want anything to do with it?

Mighty_Jabba · Mar 1, 2010

Just got this email from Wattographs. I think the piece looks great so far, and I love seeing pictures of the signers. I do sort of wonder who the one 16 x 20 purchaser who won't get a signature (as opposed to a printed name) will be.

<Email deleted at Wattograph's request>

DarthPotts1975 · Mar 1, 2010

Wow, I feel even more fortunate to have gotten a 16x20 with a full signature.....This is going to be one Awsome piece!!

JustinH · Mar 1, 2010

Curious to see how the printed name looks. This might shed some light on the daybill I sold to SithCalls with a printed signature on it. Really regret not sending some photos TTM to Stuart while he still signed.

madchimp · Mar 1, 2010

Now I'm kinda going DOH! for opting for the banner instead...won't have the signature. Regardless, just getting Mr. Freeborn on this piece is huge no matter how he puts his name on it!
