SWFUK PODCAST - Episode X : Sith Smithsonian LAUNCHED

[Stuart Skinner]

Delighted to announce that Episode X : Sith Smithsonian brought to you by the SWFUK Podcast is now launched.

We've got an absolute corker for you with no less than six guests joining the team.

This months interview is with Palitoy Golden Collector Gary Smith. His collection is so impressive and vast it makes this interview unmissable for any Star Wars Collector. Kick back and enjoy Gary go through his Palitoy and miscard collection.

This months Market section is rammed as Pete discusses the recent Vectis Auction, during the market section we hear from Craig Stevens himself who sold those amazing Palitoy pieces, whilst Pete also catches up with Kathy Taylor from Vectis.

This months forum roundup we hear from Matt McCartney (MonkeyRoo) about his second part of The Hamington Chronciles that have recently been released, whilst rich looks at another topic off the SWCA. We also look at threads posted up by Grant_C, Sublevel Studios and FinestComics.

In this months oddballs Grant talks autographs with Nick from Franks Autographs and for any autograph hunter this is a must listen section.

The final person we hear from this month is Richard McLean during the events section as he discusses his upcoming event 'Echo Base 2', which sounds like a stonking event.

As well as all this we also have another scorching Boom Story and in this months LA section we look at items put up by Richard_H (chose his own yet again), SOJ, Waltham Wookiee and Walkie.

Sit back and enjoy the show once again.

I listened for about an hour in the car on the way into work, excellent stuff, very tempted to downlaod the Ewok song!
I must say, i've listened to every SWFUK Podcast, and the Gary Smith interview is the best yet! I'm only about 15 minutes into it so that could all change i suppose, you know, if he states that U garding is ok, admits that he is Deber and that he lent Toy Tony an ironing board. But the chances of him saying that though are fairly low i reckon.
Stu lives in a special place if he watches the Sun set in the morning!
Great work fellas.

I've about another hour to go but another fantastic podcast. loved listening to Gary and his story about first seeing an older boy playing with Star Wars figures was exactly the same for me. There was probably a lot of young boys wishing they were a bit older around that time. Also really enjoyed the Death Star part and although I remember seeing that thread I'm not sure I read it closely enough, can anyone point me back in the direction of it?

Keep up the good work guys

Good work guys, really chuffed for you on the Celebration thing too - great news!

It seems Mr Smith is in high demand of late! If all goes to plan people can get a second dose of Gary (ooer!) later this month!

Will have a listen to the rest of the cast guys, great stuff

 

[mr_palitoy]

And just finished the second half. Nice to hear from Kathy at Vectis.

Not sure about the whole toploaders are bad for your cardbacks angle.

I have close to a 1000, BCW in recent years and ultra pro for the earlier ones. Some of my cards
have been in those top loaders for 10 years. And I haven't seen a single card which shows any sign of
ink sticking or paper damage as a result of being in any of my top loaders.

cheers Jason

Wowsers, another great podcast, probably my fave so far.

The bit that really stood out was Gary's interview, and the revelation about the Palitoy rocket firing Fett! Gary, would really love to know more about that, and pics if possible, along with the letter Outstanding mate

Top job fellas, always look forward to the next one

Was great to be part of a Podcast. When I first started collecting back in the early 90's, I'd never have thought that one day someone would want to interview me regarding my collection!!


That said, I was impressed with how many times my answer to a question was 'I don't know'
