    171. Rogue Fun: How The Georgia Alliance Created The Year's Biggest Star Wars Collectors Event!(Pt1)

    171. Rogue Fun: How The Georgia Alliance Created The Year's Biggest Star Wars Collectors Event!(Pt1)

    The year’s biggest Star Wars event is coming to the Peach State.

    In a year without a Star Wars Celebration convention, the Georgia Alliance of Star Wars Collectors (GASWC) is busy creating a vintage and modern collector’s dream event.

    During the May 4th weekend, more than 150 passionate Star Wars collectors will travel to Kennesaw, Georgia for three days of panels, activities, meals, collection tours and the unforgettable moments only an event like this could deliver.

    And the weekend’s room sales event may be the best one in years, with collectors bringing some of the rarest and previously unseen prototypes and production items.

    Join host David Quinn as he sits down with Georgia Alliance members Narayan S. Naik, Jason Wasulko and Glen Williams, for a behind-the-scenes look at the Rogue Fun weekend.

    In this two-part series, the Georgia team will explain the origins of the event, as well as what to expect for the weekend’s itinerary, and why it takes a community (and a few former Kenner and Nelvana employees) to build something as special as Rogue Fun.

    This is the weekend where collecting and the community collide in Georgia. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

    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!

The Best Star Wars Collecting Podcast

If you collect Star Wars and don’t listen to this podcast, you are missing out.

TyFighter23 ,

Love this podcast!!

Star Wars Prototypes and Productions isn’t only my favorite of all Star Wars podcasts, it’s my favorite podcast of all time. Host David Quinn does an outstanding job exploring our hobby (both vintage and modern) with a plethora of knowledgeable guests. Guests include fellow collectors, friends from various collecting groups and even at times Kenner designers. Dave combines great writing with witty humor, and comes up with fun and unique topics. Listeners can learn about the collectibles themselves, Star Wars history, deep dives on the new Disney releases, and first class reporting from collectors’ events and local toy shows. The format is relaxed and inclusive….whether you’ve been collecting for one week, forty years, formerly collect, or blew apart Luke Skywalker with fireworks as a kid**, then this podcast is for you!

**shame on you if you blew apart your Star Wars toys with fireworks ;)

Dfdd475368 ,

A MUST if your a Star Wars fan of a collector!!!

Oh my gosh, where has this podcast been on my life?!? When I listened to my first one, I ended up binging six more. Incredible content and the narrators savory tone would rival Lando whispering sweet nothings in your ear. If you’re a Star Wars fan or a collector, this is a must! Keep up the incredible work!
