   Episode 129 : Raiders of the Kenner Arks

   We’re bringing out the big guns in this months feature interview, as Rich talks to super-collectors Ron Salvatore and Chris Fawcett about the early days of collecting Star Wars, and their pioneering work uncovering lost Kenner treasures. In the intro section, the lads look back on San Diego Comic Con - did it deliver on Star Wars content, or is Disney holding back for D23?  There’s a quick canter through our new acquisitions, and Action Country Face-Off takes in India, Poland, Denmark and Ireland.  Spoons gets quizzical with questions on our past guests, and in New Acquisitions, the team picks their favourite finds from the collecting world, including comic bounty hunters, a McDonalds holograph, an empty crisp packet, Wonder Woman and the droids on record, and an X-wing with a rather special instruction sheet. In Rebel Briefings the boys discuss a handy auction result, a new Kenner book, a special Speeder Bike box, the Falcon on Concorde, recording rare records, future Retro, and AT-AT batteries.  Licensee this month is Thomas Forman, a British company with a long history in publishing, and a short chapter in Star Wars calendar production. Join us for copious Star Wars chat, with plenty of laughs and banter along the way. Look out for the podcast in all the usual places.

   Episode 128: The Ki-Fighter Co-pilot

   Episode 127 - The Ki-Fighter Co-Pilot Welcome back to the Vintage Rebellion Podcast! No, we don’t understand the title either, you’ll have to ask Rich. Joining us this month is Jerry Hancock who takes us on a journey through Star Wars collecting and the impact it has had on his life. In a packed show, the lads lead off with their thoughts on the Mandalorian & Grogu movie. Good, bad or ugly? You’ll have to listen and find out.  There’s a canter through the team’s new finds, and in Action Country Face-Off we visit the Star Wars offerings from Netherlands, Russia, Peru and Puerto Rico. Andy P hosts a quiz for years and years, and there’s an international flavour to New Acquisitions as we find Han Solo and cakes from France, Droids Fett and a snowy badge from the USA, and a poster from, er, Woolworths. In Rebel Briefings the team discuss offerings from the Saga Vault, the Star Wars He-Man connection, looking back to young Lucas and forward to Thank the Maker, and anticipate Echo Live.  The Licensee section looks at Aqua Fun, an Aussie manufacturer of inflatable swim aids. Will Pete find his water wings? Expect all the normal Bollux and banter, find the podcast in the usual places:

   Episode 127 : A New Hope for the Hobby

   And now for something completely different. This month, we’re proud to present a special show focussing on assistance for newcomers to the hobby, but hopefully, we have helpful nuggets of advice for all listeners. We’ll look at what you can collect, where to find it, pro’s and con’s of the various marketplaces, how to spot repro (and why), options for display, and a lot more besides. Special guest interviewee this month is Wayne Richards, a collector who had the toys in the 70s and 80s, but as an adult collector, he’s only been back in the game for about a year. He tells Andy P about his collecting journey, his growing collection, and a few lessons learned along the way. Elsewhere, the lads chat about how they got back into collecting themselves, discuss their latest pick-ups, and Face-Off in Argentina, New Zealand, Japan and France.  Rich hosts this months quiz, impartial as ever, and the lads look at the latest and greatest finds from the collecting world - a Harbert Yoda, a Mexican record, Brazilian Model Trems, Star Wars Vans, and a radio press kit. In Rebel Briefings we celebrate in Cincinnati, wonder Y wings, get retro with Jeroen, discuss dodgy die-cast, ask whether Rebel Transports are poo, hear about Heritage hi-jinks, celebrate Celebration, and look at Topps prices paid. No Licensee this month as we just couldn’t fit it into such a packed show!  Find the podcast in all the usual places.
