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:

Episode 110 : Booker Boba Fett

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.

Episode 108 : The Vintage Rebellion’s Christmas Carol

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.

Episode 107 : Mr Tree’s Farthest From Fiesta

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.
