STAR WARS The Vintage Rebellion Podcast The Star Wars Vintage Rebellion Podcast - SWTVR - Podcast Team

The podcast starts in sombre mood this month as after a brief intro about accessories, we remember our friend Craig Spivey, and celebrate the many and varied things that he brought to the world of Star Wars collecting.
We’re talking Star Wars tourism this month, as the two Andy’s look back on their recent holiday to Hoth, Rich looks forward to touring Tatooine, and our special interview guest Matt Booker talks about the many Star Wars locations that you can visit in Britain, and beyond. Matt also brings us up to date on childhood collecting, his Boba Fettish, his shop, and much more.
In the intro section the lads talk about their own finds from the Star Wars galaxy, and some wonderful new acquisitions from Russia, Greece, Australia and the USA. Spoons gets quizzical, and Action Vehicle Face-Off comes up with a surprising victor.
Rebel Briefings finds us eager for Echo Live, forcing Fawcett on first shots, early birds and seven packs, and more.
Licensee this month is Touchline as we answer that burning question of how many coins can fit in a money bag - or is it a purse, module or container? You’ll Smile when you find out.
Plenty of bluff and banter besides, you can find the podcast in all the usual places:

After the team’s discussion on the recent find of Peach Fett and his pre-production mates, our special interview guest this month is Neil Donnelly, who unearthed these fascinating pieces. Neil takes us through the story, answers the lads’ questions from last month, and talks about his love for all things Star Wars.
Otherwise, with the New Year upon us and the podcast entering its 10th year, the boys ponder on how they might start as new collectors in 2024. What would they focus on, and what to look out for?
The Intro section is busy as ever with talk of new acquisitions, a truly vintage quiz from Pete, and fantastic finds ranging from a German action figure display, to hairdryer packaging.
The Action Vehicle Face-Off sees two All Terrain vehicles take on a pair of mini rigs. Who comes out victorious? You’ll have to listen to find out!
In Rebel Briefings, the team looks at stories including a lost Leia, the return of an old friend, drama on the radio, and comic grading capers. Licensee this month comes from Brazil, as we take a deep dive into Glasslite, and try not to mention Vlix too much.
All this and the usual stuff and nonsense - catch the podcast now, on your app of choice.

Merry Christmas to all our listeners, and the Star Wars collecting community. Celebrate the festive period with us whilst the lads share their memories of yesteryear and of course their ongoing passions spending hard earned groats on 40 year old cardboard and plastic. 
Christmas collecting Past, Present and Future  is on the menu of this episode with dollops of regular festive treats. Can Jason show his passion for the Rebel Troop Transport or will the Andy's Tie up a win by fighting off Pete's Skiff minirig in the Vintage Vehicle Face off. 
Richard serves up a delicious three course Rebel Briefings, and theres a corking purchase for Gary Smith in his Palitoy hunt in newest acquisitions.
Join us to see out 2023 with some positivity and good old fashioned merriment. 
 

It’s that time of year again - the big man’s getting ready for the main event, his team of little helpers preparing lots of toys for girls and boys….. No, not Santa! We’re talking about the one and only Mr Dave Tree, and the upcoming Farthest From vintage collecting event! Dave’s our main interview guest this month, and we take a deep dive into his events, his love for Palitoy, his work with Fantha Tracks, unproduced toys, the 2007 Palitoy Archive exhibit, and so much more.
The lads are anticipating that other 'seasonal event' this winter, rounding up the latest and greatest new acquisitions from around the Star Wars galaxy, getting quizzical with Rich, and introducing the great new feature, the Action Vehicles Face-Off!
Kicking off a bumper Rebel Briefings section, Rich welcomes Ron Salvatore to discuss the Kenner Sweepstakes promotion. The team go on to chat about events, fakes, books, domes, mini MOCs, a sad passing, and more.
Our licensee this month is Acamas, producers of fine (well, maybe not quite so fine) costumes and masks. Did Rich dress up as Princess Leia when he was 9? You’ll have to listen to find out!
An extra-long show filled with chat, banter and info on all things vintage, you’ll find the podcast in all the usual places.

Nerds? Nerds you say, on the Vintage Rebellion Podcast? Surely some mistake! But yes listeners, this month we open our doors to the lovely David Jackson from Nerd Matters, as our main interview guest. Pete chats about buttons, badges, pins and patches from the galaxy far, far away.
The lads are in maudlin mood as they discuss what might happen to their collections when they’re gone, and then shed a tear for the very last Action Figure Face-Off - who will claim the final victory?
Andy Norton takes us back to school with a GCSE inspired quiz, and we hear about some great acquisitions - and re-acquisitions.
It’s a busy Rebel Briefings as the team asks about Ahsoka, calls out a colourful Facebook group, considers conventions at Echo (past) and Farthest From (future), finds about about Faucourt’s French figures folio, and covers TVR competitions. There’s a brand new prize on offer, a fantastic light-up figure stand from Mark Sinclair aka Oldie Yoda - listen in for a chance to win.
Licensee this month is Stuart Hall - no, not that one - as we take a canter through notebooks, exercise books, sketch books, portfolios and the like. All this and more, with lots of craic and banter along the way, look out for the podcast in all the usual places.

We are back after a bit of a break due to holidays and the such. Plus we had to wait for Jason to get through customs after he was detained trying to smuggle acres of Canadian cardboard in his luggage and down his britches.
Our feature this month is The Nelvana Reunion panel featuring John Celestri, Larry Jacobs, and Brian Lemay and they talk about their experiences working on the Holiday Special, Droids, and Ewoks cartoons! The panel took place at ‘May the North be with You’ in Toronto on August 5th - Thanks to Chris Porteous.
Action figure face-off is nearing its conclusion as Andy Preston defends Dengar, Andy Norton loves Luke Jedi, Jason Smith wonders over Warok and Peter Davis delights over the Death Star Droid. Richard Hutchinson has an impossible job trying to choose the winner. 
Rebel Briefings is jam packed with wondrous tales of collecting, Richard interviews Tom Scaife & others regarding a Pre-production find in the USA, the mystery of Willrow Hood is finally revealed and so much more Star Wars collecting goodness is discussed.
The licencee section finishes it all off looking at Fundimensions and their small but perfectly formed releases.
