    Fett in Black {Audio Podcast}

    Price hikes. Repaint after repaint. Store exclusives that are impossible to find, and if you do order them they arrive mailed crushed into a too-small box. Yes, Hasbro Star Wars collecting right now is struggling as it adapts to a shifting marketplace and worsening global economic climate. But hey, it's still fun! And here to talk about that fun is the Star Wars Action News team. Their collecting is still going strong despite the heavy headwinds, and there's still a lot of enjoyment to be had. Join Arnie and Marjorie with special guests Andrew, Justin, Chris, and Johnathan as they discuss The Vintage Collection, Black Series figures, and how their collecting has changed in the current environment. Plus on this episode, Arnie and Marjorie look at the Luke Dreamer statue from Gentle Giant. It represents an iconic moment from A New Hope......or does it? All that and more on this brand new Star Wars Action News podcast--helping collectors collect better!

Miss the show

What happened?

Time to hop off

Was a huge fan growing up.

I started listening in ca. 2006. I was in middle school, and am now a 30 year old man, have kids.

It‘s a shame to have heard that Arnie and Marjorie C decided to insult another podcast based on their personal political views, sadder to see they’d ask fans to take sides.

I even went to the SWAN get together st SWCVI. Have done the Christmas secret Santa, and was a forum regular.

If your open-minded „progressive“ly nonsensical views make you divisive jerks maybe super woke politics isn’t such a good thing?

Does seem like SWAN is on life support anyway, with many many periods of silence, and no regular release schedule.

ImperialTK921 on SWAN forums signing out, and unsubscribing.

Boring!

Very negative host. Boring! Hard to listen to the end. Much better out there!
