Podcast # 305 - Collectibles

Rico · November 14, 2010, 10:07:49 AM

The new podcast is up for the week all about cool collectibles. Got a nice mix of listener audio comments too as I try and give some ideas on collectibles worth checking out and sites to peruse. Hope you enjoy this one folks. It was a fun topic that I haven't talked much about in awhile.

Great episode Rico, I enjoyed this one a lot. Fun to hear you guys talk about your collections. It makes me want a FX lightsaber. drool. Do people sell used ones?

GREAT PODCAST! THANK YOU!

I'm guessing you might find a used FX lightsaber on eBay. But be careful, some people really abuse them and they might not be in the best shape. Glad you liked the podcast. Another fun subject to talk about.

Definitely a cool and interesting show. Aside from Star Wars books (of various forms) I'm not much of a collector myself, but I've always been very interested in it.

I have to agree with you about Arnie and Marjorie from SWAN (and all their other podcasts!) they really are extraordinary people.

Yeah, I am a fan of SWAN for collecting news as well as Now Playing and Republic Forces Radio, good stuff! ForceCast is still better, though. :starwars:

Do they cover collectibles on ForceCast too?

Not really, but they have a new bi-monthly show that does. When I say better I mean in just the overall Star Wars content in the FC is really great.

See, I don't get that. I don't get this ForceCast vs. SWAN thing that seems to exist. FC has much better access to Star Wars insiders and info while SWAN focuses on collecting, they are completely different shows, so why the animosity? It's all just fun Star Wars news.

For me to listen to a podcast I have to like and enjoy the host or hosts. That's the biggest thing, even more than the content sometimes. Anyway, that's just my viewpoint.

Yeah I agree Rico.. host/hosts play a big part.. that's why I enjoy the Forcecast, don't think I've listen to SWAN before (of course I've heard of the podcast).

Well the big difference between SWAN and ForceCast is that SWAN is much, much more focused on collecting where ForceCast has a collecting segment. Kenny as a collector I think you'd be very interested in the SWAN community. Your wallet might not be though :)

Yeah I have really avoided buying Star Wars stuff the past 10 years. I know if I start I'd be poorer then I already am. :) Maybe that's why I don't listen to SWAN.. the temptation.
