Just got home from work to listen to the last 30 minutes.
Listened to the rest on the commute.

Excellent stuff boys, another great show. You have the format nailed.

Great to hear that you have such a vast audience now.

Welcome to all of our new readers from around the globe

The slickest episode to date. A very confident and solid effort.

 

[Jez]

oh and at least one of you has a Samsung phone :lol:

 

[spoons]

great start chaps, 40 mins in and interesting stuff about the Takara cardbacks - another big difference is that the light saber goes from yellow on Kenner to red on Takara, and the batch no. in the top right corner is in a white box. Small changes but ones that don't have any obvious reason.

Another fantastic episode guys. Finished listening to it today.

I had a blast with you guys recording this, was a bit nervous before hand but after a few minutes you settle into the swing of it and actually I don't sound as stupid as I thought I would have.

Keep up the good work guys, I look forward to this every month.

After my interview I have also bought my first piece of SIGMA so thank you as well for the little push. Will be in the LA thread later.

Great podcast fellas. Really enjoyed listening to that on what was otherwise a dull day at work programming.

I do need to take issue with Pete's comments regarding Star Wars wallpaper. He was less than complimentary regarding the artwork which is he is clearly wrong about as shown in my beautiful piece which I had framed and takes pride of place in my bedroom. Can you see the glaring mistake though?

Also, half a piece of Empire wallpaper I brought from Marc (Star Wares) a few FFs ago. Love this too.

 

[spoons]

That wallpaper is great - Ben in the Falcon cockpit with Leia?

 

[fuzzybuzzytoys]

Good point about Ben and Leia together, but I was thinking something more subtle

 

[Richard_H]

There's a shadow of a creeping looking guy in the centre?

 

[Grant_C]

Holy ****- that framed wallpaper rocks!

 

[fuzzybuzzytoys]

lol, cheers Rich.

I was thinking more r2 with his head in the wrong way round. Also interesting that Vader is a background character in the whole piece.

Grants right and Petes wrong. Star Wars wallpapers the nuts.

 

[mr_palitoy]

Listening now. Just got to the harbert cardback bit.

[mr_palitoy]

Jason

 

[mr_palitoy]

The empire one you have there is awesome, but that star wars one is simply dreadful. The caricatures are ropey, the scenes have been recalled as if somebody drew it from memory rather than source. Surely Ben and the Jawas scene just brings back haunting memories of dead scorched people, the key moment in the film of Ben v Vader is shoved off to the side, the falcon in flight is miniature, as said R2 looks drunk, chewie looks disinterested, Leia looks a bit too big (potf 2??).Is Tarkin down there in the corner in space, was he out the back of the death star having a sneaky fag whilst the battle was raging? Argh... no..
