Podcast # 413 - Collectibles

[Rico]

This week guest host Jedi Jeff talks collectibles.  Here are a few notes from him on this podcast:

"This week on the podcast, guest host Jedi Jeff, thats me  :) does a podcast on Collectibles. I cover reasonably priced collectibles that are out right now that should interest any geek. I talk about Star Trek, Star Wars, Super Heroes and other franchise collectibles that I have found interesting. I also talk about the recent release of a plot synopsis of the new Star Trek movie coming out in 2013, and news on Patrick Stewart coming back for another X-Men movie. Below are the links and pictures of the items discussed in the podcast. Rico will be back next week covering Operation Annihilate."

Thanks Jeff!

Cool podcast Jeff, hitting the links on the note page during your reviews, makes it interactive too.

The Star Trek MIMOBOT commercial is hilarious.

I had the chance to listen to this today and I really liked those old commercials you played. And those flashdrives you talked about, we had the Star Wars ones at work. We didn't get very many in but I'll keep a sharp eye out for the Trek ones to come in. You shared alot of cool gift ideas I should make my wife listen to it.  ;D

I really enjoyed the show Jeff!  Now I have a list of things I want.  Lol!

Loved your podcast! So happy you covered some affordable collectibles. I generally get that kind of thing-or novelty collectibles. Must get the Star Wars actions figures guide. I also like how you spliced in the vintage commercials. Would love a whole podcast on vintage advertisements (hint Rico!)

This comes at a great time before the holidays. I just got a groovy new R2D2 refrigerator for my home office.

[jedijeff]

Thanks for the kind words all. The vintage commercials were sort of a last minute Idea on Saturday morning when I was doing my prep, so happy everyone liked them. Happy this podcast is well received, I thought going with more affordable collectibles was the best idea before Christmas. I agree as well Ensign Random, that Action Figure book is a must for me. Now you have me thinking of a R2D2 refrigerator for my man cave :)

Great job Jeff, I think you had some great picks. I actually have that Chewie messenger bag! I bought it earlier this year as a fun replacement for an older one I had. I use it every day and no one has ever noticed what it really is yet!

[jedijeff]

Thanks Bryan, that is cool you have the messenger bag. Sort of funny no one has picked up on it, but it does seems like something that could be obvious, or could not be depending on what crowd you are in :)

I just listen to the podcast last night.  A lot of good gift ideas were presented here.  the flash drives was an item that caught my eye. I think that something I would like to get myself, fortunately it doesn't cost a lot of money.  I think it was great that you stuck to items that were under a $100, not everyone can afford the really expense stuff.

Great podcast Jeff, I always enjoy listening to you talk about all kinds of collectibles. Great passion. Thankfully I have no money as i would have been tempted to go a searching lol :)
