    THOSE OLD FOSSILS : GUIDE TO PALITOY : PART 2

    THOSE OLD FOSSILS : GUIDE TO PALITOY : PART 2

    The best thing that ever happened, is about to happen again! Welcome to the second in our trilogy of Those Old Fossils specials, where we celebrate Palitoy and the Star Wars products they released between 1980 and 1982. Dan is back! Pete is back! Craig is back! And guest hosts Jon Aves and Dave Tree are back! As we move into the early eighties and the era of The Empire Strikes Back. Dave opens, with an overview of what was happening behind the scenes at Palitoy in 1980, then gives us an breakdown of Palitoy’s Boba Fett mail away offer, as well as an insight into the psychology used by toy makers with these kinds of offers. Then the team works their way through the Star Wars toys Palitoy released between 80 and 82. Jon discusses the trials and tribulations of collecting 30, 41 and 45 backs, and Dave shares his passion for Palitoy’s Bounty Hunter Offer. Craig drops in again to tell us about the Palitoy items that went beyond the toys and covers the advertising and point-of-sale materials the company continued to deploy to sell us those wonderful toys. As well as the items Palitoy released, we also cover the Kenner toys that didn’t make it to the U.K. Along the way the hosts all share memories of the toys from their youth and as adult collectors. It’s wall to wall Palitoy talk, and we would be honoured if you would join us.

    A LOOK AT AHSOKA : SEASON 1

    A LOOK AT AHSOKA : SEASON 1

    Join Dan, Jez and Craig for a re-watch and in-depth spoiler-filled review of all eight episodes of Ahsoka.
    So much more than just a 'live action Rebels season 5', we explore the back story, the characters, this season's arc and all of the implications for Star Wars going forward.
    Cross referencing Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB ratings with our own social media polls, gives episode some wider context, even if the team doesn't agree on every single detail.
    It was a thrill to see some of these characters brought to live action for the first time, but who were the hits and misses? Which scenes sizzled? What left us colder than a Dathomiri witch's reanimated body part? And which other long-running franchise did the art direction put Craig in mind of?
    Listen along and let us know your thoughts.

    THOSE OLD FOSSILS : GUIDE TO PALITOY : PART 1

    Join Dan and Pete, along with guest hosts Jon Aves and Dave Tree as we step back in time to the late 1970’s, for a Death Star-sized slice of nostalgia, UK style. Dave sets the scene and helps us understand the landscape of the UK toy industry in 1977 and provides context to the lengths Palitoy had to go to, to convince retailers to stock their Star Wars line ahead of the movies December release.
    Then the team work their way through the Star Wars toys Palitoy released in 78 and 79 and explore changes made to a number of the items for the UK. market. They gush over the Palitoy Death Star and try to find answers for long standing mysteries around some aspects of the range from those initial years.
    As well as the items Palitoy did release, we also cover the Kenner items that didn’t make to the great British shores during those years. Craig also drops in to tell us all about the early Palitoy items that went beyond the toys and covers the advertising and point-of-sale materials the company deployed to sell us those wonderful toys. Along the way they share memories of the toys from their youth and as adult collectors.
    It’s a Palitoy extravaganza we hope you can join us for.

    RANDOM HOUSE WORD PUZZLES ORIGINAL ART BY KEN BARR

    RANDOM HOUSE WORD PUZZLES ORIGINAL ART BY KEN BARR

    What happens when four vintage art fans decide to pool their resources to bid for 29 pieces of original Star Wars artwork in a high profile auction?
    Craig and Kimberley are joined by Will and Robin Arnold – not only to discuss Propstore, art collector William Plumb and artist Ken Barr – but to sit and review each piece ‘in person’ for the first time.
    These hand drawn originals, including characters, vehicles and scenarios from the first three movies, were created to illustrate Random House’s 1984 'Star Wars Word Puzzles' book, and make for a quirky, yet stunning spread of images.
    If you think some of these big auction lots are out of your reach, this story might make you think again.
    (This podcast is also available as an image-rich video here.)

    FARTHEST FROM CHRISTMAS 2023 PREVIEW

    FARTHEST FROM CHRISTMAS 2023 PREVIEW

    This Christmas, Farthest From is all set to be the best yet.
    Why? Well, give this a listen and get the lowdown from Mr All The Cool Stuff himself, Dave Tree.
    As one of the longest-standing Star Wars shows in the UK, it's only fitting that events like this take a lightspeed jump every once in a while, and what better time to introduce some exciting new features than the festive season? So, as well as the usual Family Fun Day on the Saturday and the Retro Toy Show on the Sunday, Dave is cramming a lot more in the whole weekend.
    But it's the Christmas Extravanza that's set to pop off with a two-course meal with all the seasonal trimmings, special Star Wars beer from Rebellion Beer Co. on tap, free gifts, entertainment throughout and your chance to meet the very special guest of the event – Pablo Hidalgo – Lucasfilm Author and Star Wars Lore Advisor who will be on hand to sign his new book, Dawn of the Rebellion – A Visual Guide.
    The Saturday night will also feature room sales for the first time – an opportunity for anyone attending to set up stall upstairs at the venue. And who knows what treasure that might shake loose?
    All this, plus more dealers, live tattooing, a local accommodation partner with plenty of space and transport...
    Generation Skywalker will be there with bells on.
    The event takes place on 9th–10th December in Fordingbridge, Hampshire. Find out more and book your tickets here.
