The Vintage Rebellion return after their extended break with their longest podcast to date, beating the previous longest by a staggering 26 minutes, good luck to those who listen to this in one sitting!

Joining the team this month for an interview is a well known name in the collecting community, Mattias Rendahl, Mattias talks about his books, preproduction and growing up in Sweden with Star Wars amongst many other things.

Also this month, David Moss of Toy Polloi returns to the show to discuss the restoration of Vintage Star Wars. David discusses restoring toys fit for the bin, sometimes using techniques seen by some as controversial to hardcore collectors. This months Oddball section hopes to trigger some interesting conversations and highlight some of David's incredible restorations.

An extended rebel briefings sees much discussed from the charming message in a falcon story, fake wollworth baggies, Palitoy 30 back fetts, Meccano Fett world record sale as well as many other stories being discussed in the community. We also hear some interviews from Celebration from various collectors who attended the event.

Mattheiu Barthelemy join the team during the Newest Acquisitions segment to discuss his recent purchase of a Meccano Landspeeder, whilst the boys also look at other stand out buys within the collecting community.

We have a Celebration break down, rapid fire and the usual song, as the Rebellion return to what they do best. ENJOY!!!

The Vintage Rebellion return with a slightly delayed show, but another epic show nonetheless.
This months main interview is with UK collector and friend of the podcast Simon McOwan. We discuss his Trilogo last 17 run that he's just completed, HC Ford and Sons record erasers amongst many other things, including his failed business enterprise with Dave Tree 16 years ago.

As Usual Jez delves into the world of collectors newest acquisitions, this month he looks at vintage soap, Yoda hand puppets and miscard's amongst many other stunning items picked up within the community.
As well as all this and some other cracking nuggets, Rich decides to give humour a try, if that doesn't make this show a vital download then I don't know what will. The blokes totally quackers!!!
Enjoy the show.

Really liked the music segment with Tony of restrainingbolt.com (a resource I've used often). I have a Star Wars vinyl focus which has been going for about 7 years now, concentrating on LPs and 45s: thevintagetoyadvertiser.org
As Tony says it's a great focus to take up because of the massive amount of international releases available, plus some great artwork covers.


Dorothée, who sang on the Ewok singles, is a famous singer and TV presenter here in France who was hugely popular in the late 70s and 80s for her music and shows aimed at children. She also released a Smurfs single in a similar style to the Ewoks.

Meco is a big winner for me. One of the worst songs for me is "What can you get a wookie for Christmas when he already owns a comb?"

(pictured top left)




But this has now possibly been dethroned by the René Joly Star Wars song which I never knew of until this latest podcast. Thanks!  

that song....

"Rebel Briefings also brings us an update on baggiegate as well as a feel good story after a collector completed a run in the most unexpected way through the generosity of a stranger."

Richard, about how far into the recording is this part (on the off chance you know)? I don't have 5 hours and though I will return to listen to the entire thing this is what I would like to start with today as I finish up work.

Also I heard your wheelchair bound????? What happened? Hope your healing well.

Around the 1hr 13 mins and 20 secs. ish

I've had 'yet another' ankle operation. Shredded ligaments from years of sport. I'm on crutches atm but will not cope in Orlando so decided to get a wheelchair to ease the travel.

Are you guys ready for Episode 34 'Brian's Angels'??
The Vintage Rebellion welcome stand out collector Brian Angel to the Podcast to discuss his collecting habits, we discuss Facebook, Engineering Pilots and his R5-D4 focus amongst many other topics.
Rich discusses display and shipping ideas with Iain Sanderson and Johnpaul Ragusa.
Whilst I host, possibly the most crazy NA ever with a random Tuna Fish advert and a discussion on Yak Face's Muff!  We discuss our favourite TIE Fighter from the range and highlight an absolute steal at an estate sale.
On Beyond The Toys, Grant welcomes artist Chris Moore where they discuss Star Wars Wallpaper. The Star Wars wallpaper you may have had as a kid, the very same wallpaper designed by Chris Moore!
This months market is short and sweet as Pete looks at the 2016 Kenner 12a market prices and the tracker top 5 'Ties' things up nicely.
All this plus the other usual gibbering with Stu at the helm from start to finish.
Enjoy the show!!!

If you thought last month's podcast was different, wait until you hear this one!

There are a few special one off changes, but we are not going to give away anymore than that.

Rich brings us an exciting, nay, game changing update on something which was hypothesised last month.

Rich is joined by a plethora of guests with Josh Blake and Bill Wills kicking it all off discussing a little known droids factory mockup. This is closely followed by Stephen Danley talking about his new website, facebook group and podcast as we discuss, Star Wars at the movies. We join Jamie Brown for a quick GW Acrylic update, but wrap up discussing the chances of a new fake in the hobby.

Jez hosts yet another ram jammed New Acquisitions section with items ranging from $1 figures and car boot sale finds to extremely rare Hungarian carded Fetts and Uzay ERGs. There is discussion about an amazing line up of Die Cast Landspeeders and the crew have a huge nostalgia #hit with some special vintage items, and the lads take a look at Darth Vaders Star Destroyer.

This month Richard is hit with the Rapid Fire questions and is truly called out as a MOC collector.

Join us and our 7 guests for what may be the biggest temporary shakeup since George Lucas dropped the revenge title in 1982!

THE VINTAGE REBELLION PODCAST : EPISODE 38 - An Aussie, The Ashes and a Freaky Chewbacca

The boys return for their 38th episodic show with friend and fellow collector Simon McOwan joining the team for guest hosting duties.

Forget the Return of the Jedi, this month sees the Return of the Quiz, with accusations of cheating flying around on all sides!

Aussie Lee Harris takes a nostalgic look back at his childhood, whilst also discussing his current collecting stance, as well as depressing everyone with a tale of burning toys!

Grant is joined by Jonathan McElwain for the first part discussion on highlights for the US food market for the original Star Wars movie. Jonathan is an expert so expect to learn a lot about a subject rarely discussed. Yum, Yum!

In this months NA, Jez and the lads (plus an extra 2 special guests) discuss a variety of purchases including variants, some in the wild 3 pack finds, a lovely story which shows that even Cloud City Clouds can have a silver lining, and the mighty Imperial Shuttle gets the once over.

Rich has the pleasure to interview Ross Barr, the face of CAS and brings us 3 stories from the vintage collecting community.

So much rammed into just over 5 hours we hope you enjoy the show!!!!!!!

http://swtvrpodcast.podbean.com/e/episode-38-an-aussia-the-ashes-and-a-freaky-chewbacca/

I got a nice shout out about my rapidly growing collection in the podcast. Very cool

http://swtvrpodcast.podbean.com/e/episode-39-a-new-ho/

The Vintage Rebellion returns with a plethra of changes.  Simon McOwan joins the team for his first show as a full time host, alongside Andy goulding who joins the team as guest host for this month.

Derek Ho joins Stuart for this months main interview as we delve into his collection and growing up with Star Wars in Singapore.

The lads get together for possibly the most varied New Acquisitions yet, where the conversation ranges from the Popy range to Airfix kits.  Simon pulls a Hutchinson with a Palitoy catalogue, Richard speaks of a beater Kea Moll and gets introduced to Uncle Gundy beaties.  The main element is an in depth discussion on Luke Skywalker original... or is it Farmboy???

Rebel Briefings sees the guys bravely tell Ron Salvatore (from a good distance away) that he's got something wrong on a SWCA blog post.  This is followed up with a cracking interview on a diorama display and a closing of the baggiegate story... for now.

Grant says goodbye to the podcast with his final Beyond The Toys section, as he speaks with Jonathan McElwain for the concluding part of looking at food tie ins.

We also have a Farthest From special where we hear from Edd Grant, Dan Burgess, Scott Cato, Stephen Savory, Darren Quinn and Jason Smith who all attended the show.

And watch out at the end as Episode 40 will see the team return to a permanent five piece and we announce the final member to make up the crew.

We hope you enjoy the show.

Dang, I don't have time to listen just now but have been wondering what the conclusion to the baggie stuff was. Seemed the last update I saw was a bunch of confirmed fakes but the guy was still selling and had a booth at an upcoming event or something like that. Looking forward to hearing further on that.

EPISODE 40 OUT TODAY!
On this month's Vintage Rebellion Podcast, the team are joined by Shawn Moynihan for the main interview. Shawn discusses a whole plethora of topics, including his love for The Holiday Special, putting marbles up astromechs bottoms and how he actually broke his jaw several years ago.

Rich has the pleasure of talking to the best looking collector, if not in the Galaxy then certainly in the Southern Hemisphere on the latest updates of the reproduction blasters, whilst the team thrash out a lively debate on those collecting blues, which are rippling across the collecting circles with some great advice for those affected.

In this episodes packed New Acquisitions (NA) section, the team discuss a veritable banquet of vintage gorgeousness. Too much to cover here in detail but the items include; Bargain carded figures, Meccano cardbacks, German drinking glasses, 12" Palitoy Fett, awesome Trilogo carded figures, a run of Model Trem Darth Vader variants and more fantastic items. Jez is joined by 4 guests; Justin Lea gives us a great update on his Diecast Landspeeder collection, Iain Sanderson and an extra special guest braved the night of the Florida storms to tell us all about Iain's awesome looking ESB Yoda store display and finally Chris Georgoulias is the inaugural member to join exciting new concept 'The Vintage Rebellion Alliance', providing the crew with some fantastic information about Speeder Bike Prototypes, to supplement a discussion on possibly Kenner's most perfect Vintage vehicle.

The team also welcome back the return of Pete, who is in fine form. Returning with Pete is of course the Market section where he introduces a new Gimcrack concept whilst we also see the return of his popular top five.

Welcome Home Pete... It's family!
