The Best Star Wars Collecting Podcast
If you collect Star Wars and don’t listen to this podcast, you are missing out.
Love this podcast!!
Star Wars Prototypes and Productions isn’t only my favorite of all Star Wars podcasts, it’s my favorite podcast of all time. Host David Quinn does an outstanding job exploring our hobby (both vintage and modern) with a plethora of knowledgeable guests. Guests include fellow collectors, friends from various collecting groups and even at times Kenner designers. Dave combines great writing with witty humor, and comes up with fun and unique topics. Listeners can learn about the collectibles themselves, Star Wars history, deep dives on the new Disney releases, and first class reporting from collectors’ events and local toy shows. The format is relaxed and inclusive….whether you’ve been collecting for one week, forty years, formerly collect, or blew apart Luke Skywalker with fireworks as a kid**, then this podcast is for you!
**shame on you if you blew apart your Star Wars toys with fireworks ;)
A MUST if your a Star Wars fan of a collector!!!
Oh my gosh, where has this podcast been on my life?!? When I listened to my first one, I ended up binging six more. Incredible content and the narrators savory tone would rival Lando whispering sweet nothings in your ear. If you’re a Star Wars fan or a collector, this is a must! Keep up the incredible work!
