[QUOTE="Darth Bobby, post: 461562, member: 6906"] Excellent episode this month. Very sad news about Mete Akin, never met him but enjoyed his interview on the podcast. Terrible news. With regard to losing enthusiasm for the hobby. I would say I’m still as interested, and get as much pleasure from vintage but my collecting has definitely lost momentum. Prices are certainly a problem. I’ve not been looking at Facebook much, as I believe you can have too much of a good thing and the constant stream of vintage posts can be a bit much. Maybe Star Wars is at maximum saturation and people are feeling burnt out it as it’s everywhere again. I think the Last Jedi will be amazing, but I reckon Hamill will announce Ep9 will be his last film. After that the hype for vintage will decrease. Especially if the Han Solo film is badly received by the older generation. Maybe then prices will level out? Great to have the King of Gimcrack back on the airwaves. He sounded fresh, rested and ready for action. The market-watch rundown was cranked all the way up to eleven. Guess it goes to show sometimes you just need a break to get your mojo back. Will be interesting to see what cheap and chatty bin fodder emerges from the new Gimcrack section. That’s the joy of collecting. Often it’s the totally disposable, least thought out ephemera that are the most interesting pieces . That’s the beauty of Star Wars collecting. Looking forward to the next one. [/QUOTE]
