The Vintage Rebellion Episode 85 Launched

Episode 85 : May The Force Be With Euros - The Vintage Rebellion Podcast

With the 2020 European Championship in full swing the lads have gone football crazy this month (yes, yes, yes... we've been getting too drunk and its a bit late), discussing which Star Wars action figures would make it into the TVR fantasy football squad.

The New Acquisitions section brings a plethora of goodies from Messrs Norton, Preston and Smith, with Rich and Pete sadly bereft. In Action Figure Face-Off the battle is between a General, a Commander, a Pilot and a Pirate - with perhaps a surprising outcome.

After a quiz in which quizmaster Richard makes up the answers on the fly - but is always right - the lads give shout outs to a great assortment of items including a childhood collection rediscovered after 35 years. The chat moves on to Rebel Briefings, to discuss Bespin Prime showcases, dodgy bootlegs, Rebelscum changing hands, another Prop Store bonanza and speculation over re-naming Slave One.

With no interview this month, the licensee section definitely has the X-Factor, as the team delves into the buttons, badges, patches, t-shirts and a myriad of other product issued by early licensee Factors.

All this with the usual mix of fun and frivolity as well, look for the podcast in the normal places .

Great episode as ever guys and a special thank you from me to Andy for reading out my recent thread about being reunited with my childhood figures. I sent a link to the podcast to both my friend, Myles, and his brother James, so that they could hear how much a appreciated having them back. It's not often that you get a chance like this and I'm still amazed that it happened.

Thanks again to all of you for the hard work you put into the show each month and it always brings a smile to my face to see that a new episode has arrived
