The Vintage Rebellion Podcast 2016 and beyond

Thanks for the update Rich.

It will give me something to listen too tomorrow at work.

Cheers Rich, I'll give that a listen mate

Already half way through. I had to start 3H5, 30min drive to Windsor, Ontario right after it was posted. Perfect.

Already found you guys a nice Oddball Weequay item on Twitter!

nice! looking forward to seeing it. Cheers guys!

I haven't had a chance to write up a review for the last episode yet.

I just want to say that I'm sorry to hear that Stuart is leaving the show. And to thank him for all the hard work he's put into the show. You will be missed.

The Vintage Rebellion welcome Andrew Preston and Jason Smith to take us through Episode 65 as this months rotating guests. Andrew brings us some very special guest interviews from Echo Live: from the Original Trilogy and the collecting world.

Pete sits down to talk about MOCs ("Mint on Cards" if you are American) with Jonathan Robinson during this months main interview.

Rich is helped out this month on Rebel Briefings as Jason Smith talks Kellerman Matrix v. 2 with Stephane Faucourt and we all give our opinions on the recent Echo Live event.

License to thrill continues looking at a license that Rich is particularly fond of - Kelloggs. Jonathan McElwain brings his knowledge to the section to bring order to our cornflake chaos.

All this plus the usual quizzes, Rapid Fire and shenanigans

Thanks for the update Rich. I'm looking forward to listening to the new episode.

I loved the Jonathan Robinson interview. Could listen to him for hours.

That was great to hear Jonathan Robinson. But I loved the Kellogg's segment with Jonathan McElwain. The vintage cereal premiums are some of the things I kept from childhood.

Re-listening to the episode.

From the discussion about folded MOC's as a mailer.

Here is a picture of a few of the Canadian Nein Nunb folded card backs and MOC's that where shipped out.  I'm assuming they ran out of mailer boxes and started sending out the folded MOC's. There is too many of these folded card backs showing up, that are folded the same way to be a coincidence.

I also show a picture of my childhood mailer slip, that came in the mailer box.  Because I kept all my childhood card backs, and didn't have Nein Nunb card back.  I know that I got it in the regular mailer box.

What he said. Supporting evidence.

Well... that one cardback is the same but its a different moc. lol

November 2019s Vintage Rebellion podcast welcomes Jason Smith to the regular hosts. Mark Daniels had to drop out through a sniffle but we managed to Press-Gang Craig Spivey for Jason's 'Adventure Game' style quiz.

Craig's main reason for joining us is to talk about this month's Licensee focus of Letraset. It's not just a focus, its a fundamental blast through a much loved range of products. The notes supplied for this may well be the most comprehensive ever seen. You do not want to miss it, nether do you want to do anything other than gather a few brews for the main interview where Richard interviews Australia's Blake Edgerton, a journey through collecting in Australia and setting up as an independent dealer.

Amongst all the usual fun podcast shenanigans we look forward to Dave Tree's Farthest From in Fordingbridge during the weekend of November 30th (beer) and December 1st (Vintage Toy Show). The podcast will be presenting an exclusive poster and flogging issue 4 of our fanzine 'It Came From The Loft'. Andy Preston has donated his Dairylea badge as a free cover prize (subject to availability).

This month its 4 hours and 45 minutes of vintage sausage that you simply cannot get anywhere else.

thanks for the update Rich.
I'm looking forward to listening to it at work tomorrow.

Love that bald Palpatine hardcopy. I've heard there are perhaps 5 examples, not sure about the sculpt. I had the pleasure of seeing one up close during a collection tour at "The Annual", The Empire State Collectors Club event.

I was looking for this glorious image a few days ago, had a lot of trouble finding it on the SWTVR social media, but sure enough, it was right here on Tantive thanks to Clint's fine recap.  

That's one for the ages!

It's Christmas, it's the end of the decade, it's the end of the Skywalker saga. If you want to hear us talk about any of that, then buy us a pint and ask us on a date. Instead, episode 67 sees Rich and Pete joined by Edd Grant and Mark Daniels to talk Vintage Star Wars collecting and pretty much nothing else.

Main interview is Graham Marshall (23rd member from this here forum) who we found on eBay selling off Episode 1 Amidala Cereal boxes to Peter then enticed him into his house for food on the promise of showing him his Empire MOCs.

Richard briefs his rebels through a review of Dave Tree's Farthest From and then we review 2019 before heading into the new decade. This month's licensee talk is all about RSO and the many different items available for collecting.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the last episode of the decade!

Thanks for the update Rich.
I'm looking forward to catching up with the episodes when I'm back to work next week.

I wish the podcast crew a very Happy New Year.

Thanks for posting over here Rich! I'm sure I'll finish it sometime this evening.

Hey guys, here we go again.  Hopefully work will settle soon so I can get back to enjoy forum time.

"We don't need another hero, we don't need to know the way home, All we want is to hear a podcast about vintage Star Wars collecting with an interview with Justin Haynie and Jenn Thunders(dome)" Catchy rendition of that famous theme tune, no? Richard catches up with these two awesome collectors whilst we are joined by the Andy's, Preston and Spoons (Norton in real life) for hosting duties.

In Rebel Briefings Richard highlights a mysterious tale of a price sticker, we share Gary Smith's completion of an incredible collection and a discussion breaks out on how best to display a much loved action figure.

Memories of ice lollies in Licence to Thrill as Pete delves into Andy Preston's sticky wrapper enthusiasm of Lyons Maid and sees if there's anything still worth tasting.

Three and a half hours of stuff...

Thanks for the update Rich.  I actually saw the updates on FB this morning, and downloaded the episode.  I started listening to it, and got as far as the discussion about the Canadian multi pack cards.  Before I had to shut it off due to work.

I have a couple of the torn MOC multi pack cards and will try and get some pictures posted.

I think Scott B's site has a picture of the Toy Fair Princess Leia's.

edit:

awesome stuff Clint. I love that photo.

Thanks for bumping the thread Rich.  I forgot that I was going to show the multi pack MOC's that I have in my collection.

The Stormy & Leia Hoth came from the same pack.  The missing piece from the front of the Stormy card is stuck to the back of the Leia Hoth card.
IG-88 is just a cut bubble example.
Leia original has some fungi issues.

I'm actually surprised that I don't see any loose cardbacks from multi packs. I don't have any in my cardback collection.

Oh wow, I love those. Are those from the 4 packs with the headers?

richard_h wrote:Oh wow, I love those.  Are those from the 4 packs with the headers?

Sorry Rich, I don't know which multi packs they came from for sure.  More than likely the 4 or 7 packs.

The Leia Hoth & Stormy definitely came from the 4 pack shown. As it's the only set with both of those figures together.

Here is a picture from my childhood scrap book.
