I went to facts, I filmed a tour around all 3 rooms, first room was the gaming room, that tour is about 5 minutes long, the others were all merchandise, room 2 and 3 are both 16 minutes long.
there was about 12000m² of merchandise, artists, actors and much more.
I also became a member of Teekay-421, the Belgian Star Wars Fan Club
The stuff I bought:
Vintage collection:
Silver Foil Magnaguard
Silver Foil Commander Cody
Boba Fett

I also bought a second 30th anniv. collection Lando, which I got signed by Billy Dee Williams.

Pictures and videos are coming soon
