The Star Wars Collectors Archive Podcast

Skye appears solo in a Steve-less T-Shirt this month due to a technical glitch. He announces the huge news with the Archive and takes you on a tour of some of the best and most tar-heeliest collections in the SW universe.

Part two of the Leia Hoth podast features new archive news; an explanation of acetate; a new story featuring Fluffy and the antagonistic Scaly; an interview with Leia Hoth collector supreme, Joe Kersavage; a maket watch; and was edited in the front seat of a Honda.

This month has Skye getting politically incorrect, Steve revealing his penchant for animal cruelty, Ron showing his capacity to stay awake and two completely absent guests! It is our start of the Leia Hoth show and it also has a new feature with guest host, Skyera Glass on "This Vintage Life." We talk Tots, Steamed Hams, Collector Clubs and Gaffi Sticks. This show is great...and it is only half over!

This months Vintage Pod features both Lobot and Lobarth! We check in with David Tree at the Farthest From show in England and have Ron Salvatore update us on what is happening with the archive. Special feature has Skye breaking down the editing process. All this plus the beginning of a veritable podcast WAR on the 51st 'chive cast!

Skye and Steve hit their silver anniversary with a 'Chive Cast dedicated to Han Bespin, who is simultaneously the ultimate cowboy and kind of a wus. Trevor the Tweeter Dooder sits in in the round table to tell us whats up on the forums and about some weird stuff he likes. Randy joins in for the first ever 1 dollar vlix market watch game. Plus, we spend an awful lot of time talking about British Sugar Balls. All this and a ton more on the 50th Vintage Pod!

This month's Podcast comes a little late and at just the right time as we discuss Dengar, review Plastic Galaxy, talk about a newish dental website, talk about some found first shots and Ron Salvatore explains carbalon. Then we have story time where he tells us the fantastic story entitled "The Mystery of the woodchuck's Cave" in which Ron, Todd and the mysterious Fluffy travel to Cincinnati over 15 years ago and unearth nearly all of the existent Micro Collection molds. We have all of our usual features with a new fangled plus the mega Star Tot giveaway and caption contest on February's Vintage Pod.

We start our 7th season and 4th year of the 'Chive Cast with an upbeat issue dedicated to the Ugnaught. We chat with Brian Stillman about his just released documentary, Plastic Galaxy, we talk about body parts with Yehuda and the have a general discussion on the status of prototype collecting. Skye unleashes extra poetry and Steve's unloved item has 38% extra Steve-ness. We have most of our usual features along with the new forum report, by Trevor the Tweeter-Dooder. All this and some more on the 48th Vintage Pod -- Don't forget to listen to the feedback section in order to learn how to win Star Tots! --

Come and get “Thurned” on this month’s ironically long chive cast featuring Yoda Collector, Martin Thurn. He talks to us about the Star Wars Collectors’ Bible, the first SW collector magazine that he edited and several little known areas of collecting such as license plates and gift cards. Skye also interviews Mattias and gets to the bottom of the ToyToni scandal. All this plus the meaning of Minch and Princess Leia having “congress” with an alien and a mummy on the 47th Vintage Pod.

At long last the 'Chive Cast speaks with Star Wars celebrity super collector, Rick Springfield! Enough said!

This months 'Chive Cast starts with an earth shattering announcement. Then, we invite our guest editors, the Archivist Tommy Garey and the Holy Ghost Ron Salvatore, to sit at the Space Chess Roundtable. They help us discuss the so-called “ most useless figure ever” Asian Security Guard.“ We also somehow wind up talking about Northern Renaissance wood carving; Sienese art; Tommy gives a vocab lesson on RASSCV, Ron tells us of a tale of a trip to a Kenner sculptor's place; unloved signs of unknown origin; the hidden labor relations on Cloud city; a totally known production nugget. We also feature the return of Kenner Commercial theater. and have several Skye-Kus and Jenk-us. Finally, Mike Ritter talks about the Rancho Obi-Wan visit. There is somehow even more on this months mega Vintage Pod.

This month Skye and Steve talk about the Radar Boy Rebel Soldier with his biggest fan, Broc Walker. We react to Rancho’s renewed reign, uncirculated glue, we talk about Gentle Giants continued awesomeness, we learn “Repro-10” hard copies, and we contemplate how to make a Womans Day Hoth set with “Personnel launcher.” We also have a new debate about un-american toys and a market watch with POTF and Rebel Soldiers.

This month is a totally different and completely polyvocal podcast. There is no figure or collectible at the center of this show. Rather, it is about two amazing Collector Events from the summer. We went to Germany and Seattle and all you got was this lousy podcast! First, Skye and Steve talk about their sojourn in Seattle for the International Collectors Event. They conduct interviews in the "Stitch Studio" from the heart of the Bobacabana and talk about the absolutely amazing meeting of friends and collector colleagues. Then, Chris Georgoulias takes us to Essen Germany to the "room sales" from Celebration Europe 2. We get a lot of international input and "Wampa! Wampa!" cheers from Germans, Brits, Swedes, Danes, Spaniards, Frenchmen, Mexicans, Americans, Canadians and a disguised Australian. Come with us as we take you there on this months 'Chive Cast Vintage Pod!

This month’s upbeat ‘Chive Cast features interviews with Snowtrooper expert Michael Mensinger and the benevolent grump of the hobby, John Alvarez. Steve says the dorkiest thing he has ever said, Skye opens up and rambles on and we get positively sacrilegious at one point. We talk celebrations and collector clubs, mini-rig mock ups, 30,000 dollar 12 backs and R2 and 3P0 offer to help you with your hygiene and tell you how to stay away from bad habits. You will learn about YPS and why Blue Stars has yellow eyes. All this plus a bonus Skye-Ku on this month’s Chive Cast!

In this month's insanely late 'Chive Cast Skye and Steve are joined by Doctor Grief and Perthian Mark Salotti to discuss FX-7. We chat about unproduced mock-ups, Presto-Magix and unveil the new "Kenner Commercial Theater" feature. Plus, lots of fun appropriate and inappropriate stories about grails under a dollar and Men of Steel. Our market watch features many international items over 5 grand and Skye somehow just learns about the existence of PDT-8 . All this on the Star Wars Collectors Archive Podcast!
