Episode 126 : Smith Snootles and The Mags Rebo Band

About this episode

The episode features an interview with Craig Smith about pre-1980s Star Wars collecting and includes discussions on various Star Wars memorabilia and international finds.

Special guest interviewee this month is Craig Smith, joining Pete to tell all about his pre 1980s Star Wars collecting. Elsewhere the lads indulge in a little fantasy theme park fun, tell all about their latest finds with even Richard picking something up this month, and go international as Face-Off heads to Spain, Canada, Mexico and, err, Indonesia. Andy Preston takes the reigns as quizmaster, and the team picks the best new acquisitions from around the world, with a DT Ben, an prototype poster, a Vader / Chewie mix-up, soapy Star Wars and Italian stationery. In Rebel Briefings the boys look back at Live, selling See Threepio, modelling on Endor, Maul on telly, Japanese rocket robots, Vic Reeves paintwork, and Youngie Oldie Yoda. Licensee this month is Kenner’s pre-school range, from Star Tots to talking telephones, and all things Ewok - Fire Cart, Family Hut, Woodland Wagon and more. A lesser known, and - maybe - under rated line? Find out more on the podcast! Plenty of bluster and banter alongside, you can find the podcast in all the usual places.
