    169. Ten Years Of ToyCon NJ: Reflecting On Star Wars Collectibles and Meetups At The Spring Show!

    169. Ten Years Of ToyCon NJ: Reflecting On Star Wars Collectibles and Meetups At The Spring Show!

    ToyCon NJ has been a true treasure trove for Star Wars collectibles.

    In 2014, the first ToyCon NJ toy show premiered in Parsippany, New Jersey.

    And for a decade, it has offered collectors a chance to bring home some of the best Star Wars memorabilia in the galaxy.

    But for many, ToyCon has become more than a mere toy show.

    It is also a destination for Star Wars collectors club meetups, and a place where new friendships in the hobby develop and grow.

    Join host David Quinn as he reflects on ten years at ToyCon NJ.

    And tour the spring show’s Friday night vendor setup with him, as he and collector/dealer Peter LeRose reminisce about the moments that have made ToyCon so special.

    This is a decade of toy hunting, in one episode. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

    Join host David Quinn for a revelatory glimpse into the world of collecting Star Wars memorabilia, and how venturing where the spotlight isn’t may lead to new and exciting avenues to pursue.

    This is why collecting remains exciting. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

    166. Pre-Production Gems And The Rise Of Fakes: The Star Wars Poster Collector Roundtable! (Part 2)

    Are fake Star Wars posters flooding the hobby?

    What is the difference between a regular poster and an incredibly rare pre-production example?

    And why is the poster community so meaningful and connective?

    Join host David Quinn for part two of a poster collectors roundtable with three of the most knowledgeable collectors in the galaxy: Danny Katzel, Tony van Dam and Douglas Hott.

    This series explores the vastness of global and non-U.S. posters, early pre-production examples that survived and surfaced years later, and a disturbing trend within the hobby: the rise of fake posters in the collectors’ market.

    This is the magic of Star Wars posters. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
