The SWCA Podcast Episode 57: Annual State of the Hobby Roundtable
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.)
