Taking us back to the days of old with Star Wars cereal boxes from the 80's, the organizers of the Collector's Panels gave out unique cereal boxes for each of the 16 panels. Since the panels go on every day all day, completing this set was indeed a challenge if you still wanted to enjoy the other things going on at CV! Each box is limited to just 400 and packed with real cereal.
If you wern't able to complete your set, then on Sunday at 5:00 after Celebration V officially ended, you could get in a line to receive 'leftovers' of any boxes you might be missing. Each person in line was handed a small stamp card enabling them to go through the line a maximum of 3 times, while supplies lasted. Once that ended it was a mass of trading and dealing as folks tried to complete their sets. The final line give-away was extremely organized and fair. They even made sure that anyone with only 1 stamp moved up to the front ahead of everyone with 2 stamps. If only all the lines at CV were that well organized! While not quite as exciting as the medallions handed out at CIV, these are still a very nice collectible to walk away with, even if you only got three of them (like myslef).
