Hi guys, I'm going to be working as correspondant between TIG and the SWCA 'Chive Cast.
TIG recently got a shout out on their show and the guys that run it, Skye and Steve, are keen to hear about what TIG is up to and European Star Wars collecting in general. So I'll be the link to keep them updated.



For those of you not familiar with the 'Chive Cast here's a little bio that Skye sent me:



"The Star Wars Collectors Archive Podcast is a monthly "audio-magazine" dedicated to the collecting of vintage Star Wars memorabilia.
From 12-Backs to Bubblebath we cover it all.
Regular features include a market watch, highlighted figure of the month, and a vocabulary lesson.

The 'Chive Cast is hosted by Chewbacca collector Skye Paine and B-Wing Pilot collector, Steven B. Danley.
Much like their figural counterparts, Skye is loud and hairy and Steve is quietly cool."





Here's the link to their current show:

LOL - I never thought of a B-Wing Pilot as "quietly cool" . But hey now I do!

I never thought much of the B-wing pilot. period.

great to see that we're being more "active" blips on their sonar.. i've had some good times listening to their weirdness during the odd all-night-crunchtime-workmode-sessions!

maybe they can help advocate the power of oddball collecting! S&S, are you reading this?

Wouter, PM on it's way mate.

Just to say I listen to the chive cast each month and it is awesome! Highly recommended to all

The new edition of 'Chive Cast is rocking and rolling right now!

Go check out the show here: http://www.chivecast.com



Here are some of the goodies this month...

'Chive Cast 27: WalrusMania and Smoosh Face (Now ENHANCED)

"Skye and Steve break the “enhanced barrier” for the first time in their podcasting career. This episode tackles the wonderful world of Walrus man and his newly renamed friend.

Skye unveils more details about the mega Archive Party at Celebration 6.
We discuss the debunking of several rarity mythys and introduce “the Francis”

Vocab and nugget sections tackle molds and unloved AM radios make us dream.

Todd Chamberlain drops by for a trip down memory lane discussing the biggest ever Star Wars display auction from 1993 in Las Vegas.

Our market watch and feedback sections round out the rest of the show with a special remix from a forgettable prequel moment.

All this in one of the longest ‘Chive casts of all time. Grab your mansuits everybody, its one of the longest ‘chive casts of all time."

The latest edition of the 'Chive Cast is now available for your listening pleasure!


This is the first 'Chive Cast to feature the brand new link up between TIG that will be showcasing various International Oddball items as submitted by TIG members!

The first items are from our very own Wouter (Hyver)

So come on you TIGers, go check out the excellent 'Chive Cast at http://theswca.com/podcast/

Looking forward to listening tomorrow Paul.

Listening to the Tooggle podcast right now. I really liked that the pictures off all items beeing discussed where added (showing up at my mediaplayer at the moment off discussion) to the previous podcast.

I hope they can do this more.
Anyway, love listening to the podcast and i think Skye and Steve should cross the borders and come on TIG aswell.

Cheers, Dennis.

Skye Paine & Steve Danley are both members here Dennis. Hopefully they'll have a few posts to their names soon.

Paul sent me a link to this thread.

I can tell you that I will certainly be posting more on this board in the future. In fact, we are recording tonight and will be mentioning the potential for a mass exodus.

Thanks to all who listen, it really means a lot.

Skye

Like I'd mentioned to Paul, If you want to discuss the influx to TIG or anything, I'm free tonight to talk. Just LMK

thanks for taking time and effort to do the shows, it's fun to listen to and educational (on the hobby side) aswell.

Hope you can keep up the show.

When's the next 'Chive Cast ?

Thanks.

We are recording tonight and I should be editing it throughout the week. I use the last day of the month as the deadline. In 2 and a half years I've only missed my deadline once.

I'm hoping to schedule an interview with your very own Paul since LXW is the figure this month.

It should be a good show.

Cool man,

I love the show.

Ive gotta say that Im an avid fan of the show. Its always good tuning in and hearing good vintage chat. However I must admit in the run up to Celebration all the talk about the show, giveaways and parties is making me feel sad Im not going!

Great show!

Wampa Wampa space freaks!

Latest edition of the 'Chive Cast is now available for your listening pleasure!

Featuring interviews from our very own John (DarthBerizing) and JoeY, and the TIG Oddball items of the month!

And they even put the little "thingy" down the bottom for me this time

Listening now.

You know Josh, I think we will call that thingy "the Josh" from now on. "Hey, Skye and Steve, get Lobarth to put "the Josh" on the show page." :D

Its a very TIG heavy episode so I hope you all enjoy. Talking to John was great.

If any of you have not subscribed, please do so and leave feedback on iTunes. That kind of stuff really helps.

I'll include the show description below in case you are wondering what we talk about this month:


On this month's remote location Vintage Pod:
- Skye attacks one of our best listeners
-The Luke X-Wing figure is praised and ridiculed
-We talk more about the Archive Party at Celebration VI
- We have a surprise interview with Chris georgoulias, the orchestrator of the
Collector Track Star Tot Giveaways.
-We also interviews John Ragusa at the Imperial Gunnery to discuss good and bad board mojo
- We finally throw another brick through a window as Joe Yglesias brings back the bootleg.
-Crazy bad coin design nugget and a scandalous unloved item that may land skye in Jail or on a federal watchlist.
-More oddities from Europe and market watch is officially divided into two parts.
-In the feedback section we solve the riddle of whether or not Skye is a commercial actor.

All this and somehow more in your slightly late June ‘Chive Cast Vintage Pod!

I'm flattered...I think

Nah, I appreciate you guys listening to my concerns. Still couldn't get it to work the other way so I am glad "The thingy", er.. I mean "The Josh", is now going to be there each time.

Did someone mention a coin segment....downloading now!

Guess i better listen to John too!

Well done again guys, I really look forward to these, & it's great to have a TIG input too.

Great Chivecast. Also good to see TIG getting a nice bit of time on there. I'll make sure that I am on every chivecast that they want me for from here on in, carrying the TIG banner. IF we all post TIG links everywhere that we possibly can, we can get the member roster up to 1000 members before CVI. Who's up for the challenge?

Cheers
Joe

Great Podcast.

I was under the impression that SWFUK was the premier Vintage collecting site.

Great stuff guys.

Look forward to the next.

Skye drinking the milk...
