The Kingfisher Shopping Centre in Redditch is an unlikely location for one of Europe’s foremost Star Wars events but played host to Echo Base Live this last weekend. Predominantly a vintage toy show, Echo Base Live has grown over the years to include a number of signing guests. The calibre of these guests is improving with each show with Julian...
