There's news from the North this month, as Chris Porteous visits a Canadian con "May the North be with you" and brings us interviews with Kenner luminaries Stephen Geddes and Jim Swearingen, telling their tales about creating and sculpting the toys that are the main reason we're all here.
Elsewhere, the World Cup is on, and the lads are talking goals, scores, red cards and trophies - Star Wars stylee.
New Acquisitions heralds collectibles from Palitoy to pencils, tee shirts to two-packs, and books to bowling balls, and shout outs to some great finds from around the collecting world.
Richard's quiz mashes up the World Cup with worldwide collecting, and he has a tough choice to make in a lively Action Figure Face-Off.
A lengthy Rebel Briefings section sees the team chat about current hot topics including a wonderful warehouse find, puzzling prices, Cassian's climax, fantastic four-packs, and a catch up on conventions. There's also the results of the lads' Echo Live Gimcrack challenge, Millennium Falcon mysteries, a Holiday Special retrospective, and a fantastic interview with Justin Hoggard of the Twitter channel Star Wars Fonts - much more interesting than you'd think.
This month's licensee section proves that the guys are no mugs, as they delve into drinking vessels from Staffordshire Pottery / Kiln Craft.
To hear all this, and the usual shenanigans, look out for the podcast in all the normal places.
