Episode 98 : Was that an Echo … Echo … Echo?

This latest chock full episode comes soon on the heels of the Echo Base Live event in Redditch. We have a bunch of interviews, collecting tales and reminisces of another epic Star Wars event. The podcast team had a couple of tables, a load of merchandise to give away (including our VHS tape) and scrumptious amounts of collectibles to sell.  Jason sadly comes with some horrendous and tragic personal news and he wanted to continue doing the things he loves so joins us this month. Jason is a beloved part of our podcast and the Star Wars collecting community, so we supported his decision to soldier on in dark times and hope with everyones support we can help him in whatever way we can.  The action figure face off sees not the most inspiring of figure choices, but Andy Preston shows gluttonous affection for Klaatu, Andy 'Spoons' Norton waxes lyrical about the Jawa, Jason warms to Weequay and Pete gets excited for Han and his technicolor Trenchcoat. Who will Richard choose as the most passionate defender? Rebel Briefings sees our Echo Base round-up with even more acquisitions, a stumpy Chewie, a look at the slow burn of the Andor series and an unusual union of a Falcon and a star Destroyer. It has to be talked about to be believed. Licencee sees Peter get all excited for StarFire badges, as he's never seen technology like it before. Will Andy Preston's eyes light up without the need for batteries? Tune in on all the usual places for fun and frolics in the collecting world.
