Edd, yes for sure. Here is a humble guy that is selling other pieces, using birthdays, going without, to put together enough to add a couple of precious $300-$400 12 backs to his collection each year. Then today I heard some one blew $30,000 on a single Leia AFA95 MOC at Hakes Auction. I know...

Very good episode - thank you guys! One small segment I particularly liked was the guy who talked through his story of setting a six year goal to collect the run of 12 Backs. He spoke with such integrity and conviction about trying to achieve this relatively humble goal, it was quite...

Funnily enough I was just going through a bunch of figures that I'd bought in a junky job lot a while back, and they look very much untouched since the olden days... but it does include a single lead Imperial Blaster. I get the feeling that these lead weapons preceded the plastic repro time...

If you have Netflix, there is a good documentary called 'The Toys That Made Us' and that includes interviews with some of the Kenner personnel who created the very first figures. Perhaps the best anecdote is that the original Jawa that they mocked up was one of the designers brown socks!

Thank you, very kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the visit!

Lars, well tonight a Solo poch cardback sold for almost a £ grand! That's some crazy money for a cardback - there must be a couple of guys out there really competing with each other for the poch right now...

Nice interview with Ron Howard about Solo, apparently his old mentor Lucas spent a day on set and gave some direction! http://ew.com/movies/2018/02/09/ron-howard-solo-a-star-wars-story/

Very exciting news, and as a big Game Of Thrones fan I couldn't be happier with this choice. They seem really well suited to explore 'ancient' times, the Old Republic era perhaps. It should also be noted that these seeds being sown may not be manifesting as movies for some considerable time...

I cant help you there, but I know its never nice hanging out in hospitals so get well soon and I hope that SW helps keep your spirits up and the time go quicker.

Nice one, it's at The Willis Museum in Basingstoke till April 14th, and then its at Experience Barnsley from April 21 - July 15. At the risk of sounding mysterious it will be at further venues but I cant say which as the museum press people like to control the announcement.

Stu, please give Rich the responsibility to report Biker Scout's victory on the next podcast. I just want to hear him saying the word 'biker' lots. :D

Glad she liked it, and thanks to all for the kind comments.

We have a poster - this is fun!

I wasn't expecting the short teaser from yesterday to include different footage than the full length trailer, nice surprise! I have to say this looks very good and some new imagery that we haven't seen before in a SW film (although the giant tentacles did remind me a bit of the Gungan sub...

Great teaser. It defo reminds me more of Rogue One than the OT. I like the Star Destroyer coming in through the clouds and the scale of some of the sets. The musical refrain at the end is also similar to the Rogue One theme. Look forward to seeing the full length!

You mean the three little 'body rigs'? No, they were v.small little boxes and defo didn't include a poster catalog (it wouldn't have fitted even if they'd wanted to).

Yes Lars your list is right. The only slight anomalies are that the Skiff didn't include the prominent yellow offer 'Planetary Map Inside' on the box like all the others did, and that the Glasslite versions of the ATL Interceptor and Side Gunner did not include the map (it was Kenner only).

I hope Stu, Rich and the boys will forgive me for making a shout out to Toy Run podcast. Ian put me in touch with them and I was interviewed on this week's episode. The interviewer was Criz Bee who was himself also on the Vintage Rebellion back on Ep 29, I think we had a great chat, always good...

"Once you start down the paperwork path, forever will it dominate your destiny..."

Hi Jay, I don't know 100% would be the answer! I suspect the Sweepstakes leaflet could have been popped into any wave 2 boxed toys from Kenner (Falcon, Sandcrawler, Creature Cantina, Imp Troop Transporter, Droid Factory, DV TIE Fighter, Land of the jawas and Dewback). Any US toy from 1979.
