It’s a Force Awakens Response Podcast, from a Vintage point of view. Skye and Steve talk about their thoughts and reactions and break down the 10 biggest winners and losers among Vintage Star Wars items. It’s another unusual podcast, but its not like these movies come out every month! Caution. Henceforth, there will nothing but spoilers! Who wins? Who loses? Listen to the newest ‘Chive Cast Vintage Pod to find out.
It’s a patchwork ‘Chive cast this month without usual features but with tons of information. First, Skye talks with Conall Jones, the producer / director of the new documentary series on Star Wars fans “in a galaxy” and one of his stars, the master of Vader, Bill McBride. Then we decide to rebroadcast the ever so timely, yet evergreen interview with Rick Springfield (Skip ahead to 1:25 if you are a super Rick Fan). Finally, we talk with James Gallo about his job as a “Consultant” on the recent Sotheby’s auction of Star Wars memorabilia that raked in more than 500,000 dollars. So, hunker down with a quilty 67th podcast.
It’s the last ‘Chive Cast before Episode 7 and the official beginning of the Postquel era! Steve and Skye briefly discuss the new movie, which somehow becomes a discussion on race and sexuality in the Star Wars universe. Then we invite many people to the Space Chess Roundtable to discuss the topic of Ethics in the vintage Star Wars collector hobby. “Hey” Ross Cuddie from Canada, Derek and Greg from Singapore and Ross Barr from the back of his van join us to discuss promises; sheet cutting; box folding; flipping of all sorts and buying stolen toys. Plus, we invent the terms “Faux-cus collector” and we name the “Tillman Sculptor” during our discussion of the Black Bespin Guard. Join the conversation with the (Episode Order) 66th Star Wars Collectors Archive Podcast!
It is sort of a Halloweenish episode of the ‘Chive cast! Skye spookily lies consistently to Steve about publishing the haunted and long missing Luke Hoth episode while showing of the weirdest and creepiest Star Wars vintage item that has NEVER been seen before. Phidias and CJ talk about the “Big Pick” (the recent warehouse find of Vintage Star Wars stuff)... and, hold on my creepies... you will hear chilling voice recordings from the psycho killer MONSTER that has been terrorizing the Vintage Star Wars community. It is neither a traditional episode, nor is it Gargan Largan... its just the ‘Chive Cast space freaks, so enjoy!
It’s a Jam Packed Vintage Twin Pod! -We interview the architect of the Topps vintage card line, Gary Gerani. Skye comes up with a way to never forget the order of Topps borders (though you will wish that you could!) - We interview Swedish collector superstars Mattias and rock star Kristopher about the figure of the month, the Cloud Car Pilot. -Vintage Commercial theater reveals a Loquacious Lobot and the mysterious Robo Path -Ron schools the boys about the talking alarm clock for depressed children, die cast mock-ups and new items on the archive. Have a listen and figure out the meaning of the mysterious phrase that pays… “Bantha really young? Get out!” All this and even more on the Nintendo 64th Chive Cast Vintage Pod.
Its an unexpected part two of our July 4th double episode. We record it live from Yehuda’s AT-ATic in Jamaica Queens during an open Star Wars party with Ron Salvatore and Ross Barr. In this half-episode we amend Grandpa Skye’s Facebook rant, we talk about Boba Fett’s 12” torso, Vintage SW sounds, Ross’s Long Fett Header find, Ron tells why unpainted hardcopies are rare, we identify the Palitoy ogre and why they were so cheap, we discuss Judaism with Chulent and Kenner kiddush goblets, Canadian Toy Fair Leia, and Jalapeno Popper Cheese Curls.
Henceforth, Steve and Skye shall return to their usual format! This month has a podcast dedicated to the AT-AT Commander and toys related to him , like the AT-AT itself, the INT-4, and the Rebel Command Center playset. We talk a lot about Sears and about the need to elminitate the term Shrink wrap. We talk coins and the coin production process with James Gallo, co-author of Coining a Galaxy. What is a pantograph? You’ll find all this out plus hear a series of long rants against FaceBook by Grand Pa Skye and prequel hate from Hipster Snob Steve.
The second issue of our audio magazine to be written and recorded at Celebration Anaheim. As it has been for the last few episodes, it is something of a “non-conventional episode.” We have a cavalcade of ‘chive cast guests including Guz Lopez, Duncan Jenkins, Chris Georgoulias, Ron Salvatore, Todd Chamberlain and Pete Vilmur. We talk about Hildebrandt, Celebrations Past, Sheet Music… it’s a virtual unloved-a-palooza!
Recorded live at Celebration Anaheim, it’s the 61st 'Chive Cast! In this episode we catch up with a couple of 1st 12 focus collectors we missed the first time around as David Carr talks Obi-Wan and Ross Barr Talks Han Solo. Plus, we have a live-from-the-collection-floor Market Watch with Fratastic Pete himself.
Its our official show all about Los Angeles Celebration of Anaheim aka Celebration VII, aka Celebration Anaheim. Skye and Steve break down all of the Archive party details and the events that will define the best Celebration ever. Plus, at 01:22 you can hear an interview with Mattias Rendahl as he talks about his new book on Star Wars Pre-Production materials. Get ready for the show, get ready to go...to celebration, yub nuts!
Come celebrate 5 years of Vintage Podding with Skye and Steve as they talk about Star Tots with Chris Georgoulias and vintage Ewok valentines and Celebration Swag with Amy Sjoberg. 2-1B, the existential Robot doctor, is our figure of the month and he gets a surprise poetry slam and an interview with his biggest fan, Stockholm’s Fredrik Juthberg. We unveil some new failed features such as the questionable “Would you rather:2-1B or not 2-1b” and an ambitious but confusing market watch game. Finally, we count down 10 biggest changes in the last half-decade of Vintage Star Wars collecting since we started the show. Come celebrate 5 years of 'Chive Casting, Space Freaks!
This month is frontloaded with nonsense as Steve bears with Skye defending his unpopular pronunciations of the AT-AT and Nien Nunb, then the show proceeds at a nice crisp pace with Gus jumping on to discuss the history of the Archive and we give ALL The details of the Archive Party II. Were talking giveaways, contests, parody cardbacks and how you get tickets and when they go on sale. Coins? Patches? Pins? Custom 4-Ups? How can you be one of the 25 SUPREME MASTERS? Listen and find out. Then we get Derek Ho on line from the future in Singapore for a World Tour and we discus collecting the Imperial Commander and a little on the history of collecting proof cards post 2002 with tales of Tom Niehiesal's famous sales list and the huge Colpar Blowout of 2005, we have a sad lost nugget and have a spirited round of the Market Watch game. Plus, did someone say B-B-Bonus interview with Thorsten Lafos? I did! And, the less said about Skye's new song the better. 'Chive Cast 58, check it out!
Here we have our second kind-of-annual State of the Hobby Roundtable. Skye, Steve, Chris Georgoulias and Ron Salvatore discuss the vintage influences and impacts of the new Force Awakens Trailer; fanboys and the importance (or lack thereof) of being a Star Wars fan in collecting Star Wars toys; the relative coolness (or lack thereof) of collecting vintage; they come up with a kind of definition for "vintagesploitation"; Skye introduces the UDE theory and the Beatles Theory and proposes that collecting Modern Prototypes is the new Vintage collecting. Plus there is a vicious knock em out- drag em out battle deb-8-d-8 between Chris and Skye over the correct pronunciation of Lando's Copilot in the Falcon. Finally, there is a new feature that teaches how to speak Star Wars...in Polish. (It is unenhanced and late due to some massive technological difficulties.)
Steve and Skype chat about the AT-AT driver, Rebels and the Archive news with the holy ghost Ron Salvatore. CJ Fawcett joins us for a record number of drops in a single segment with his extended nugget / story time / yak to my face / vocab / brand new feature entitled "Bib Fortuitous and Serendipitous Crumb." You will learn that the R2 Toter is unloved and expensive, R2D2 is not Short and we finally get around to the Steve Denny article. Did I mention German B-Wing Pilots? All this plus the world's least successful C-3PO impression on this month's 'Chive Cast Vintage Pod! universe.
Steve and Skye spring back into form in this month's podcast featuring the Rebel Commando. We talk about the archive updates, share some info about new foci and invterview James Gallo about the mystery and history of Kleb Zellock. Plus, we teach you how to "Steve."
