The Vintage Rebellion Podcast : Episode 119

[naughtyjedi]

Konnichiwa! We're still on a Japanese theme this month, as our special guest interviewee is Andy Takara, joining Spoons to talk Oriental collectibles, Celebration, and of course his passion for all things keshi.


We start the show with a look forward to Celebration LA in 2027, and what we might expect.


Moving swiftly on, the intro section sees the lads discuss their latest pick-ups, defend their selections in Action Playset Face-Off, and get quizzical with Spoons.


The New Acquisitions feature has an international flavour as we sample new finds from Mexico, Poland, Spain, Germany and … err … Brentford.


In Rebel Briefings, Andy P interviews Mark Harewood who tells of a close encounter with a Sith Lord in a Belfast toy shop. The team goes on to discuss conventions past and future, and Chris Fawcett coins it in. There's news of discoveries in the diecast and baggie sectors, a look at old and new home made toys, and an update on the impending Palitoy publication.


Licensee this month is British company Chad Valley. A short section surely, as they only released one item - or did they? All this and more in a packed 6-hour show, look out for the podcast in the usual places.

So I've not got round to leaving feedback for a while-which doesn't mean I've not been listening! Since I last posted it's all been a great listen as usual

Well done Mr Preston on smashing the quiz! Loved your review on LOTJ, it's interesting regarding the exclusive Jawa baggie, as you said blue MIHK txt on both types as mentioned by another baggie guide, however I have seen a couple of unused examples including a tape sealed baggie with MIHK in white txt.

What a lucky boy Mark Harewood was! Fantastic!!

Spoons, great interview with Andy! Your insight on Celebrations past & present I'm in total agreement with! Naturally from a vintage/ OT point of view the shows are certainly not what they used to be and for many reasons including the sad passing of cast, the opportunities are no longer there. It hit home at Cel London 2023 when the Collector Track events were drowned out in sound by the "pop concert" going on at the main stage! I felt who ever had the say on when and where events were didn't really care about us oldies! We should have been upstairs on level 3 out the way where other events were happening undisturbed!

Great interviews with Chris F so much info on the coins!

Finally, thanks for coming over Jason-and indeed Brian! It was a great Sunday and much progress was made towards the exciting new Palitoy book! Was v honoured Brian came over from Ireland to shoot my unused/factory sealed boxed collection and some of my MOCs
A big regret was that you & Brian didn't get to see my collection room set up because I had to dismantle it and bring downstairs all the boxes to take next door to my sisters as she had the room to do the photo shoot. Many thanks for helping me take it all back up stairs!

Well done guys!
