... And this next episode 'Chapter 13, The Jedi' was back to brilliance. For me, so much of sci-fi fantasy is based on world building, and this episode was just wonderful in that regard. I have some knowledge of how these episodes are made, with 'the volume' but throughout this episode the visuals i...

When I pulled my childhood collection down from my loft in the mid Nineties and started buying more figures, I just mingled them all together. I was buying up job lots and amassed easily a couple of thousand toys and figures so no way of knowing which were my originals. In truth I'm not super sentim...

This episode was a slightly weaker one for me. It felt a bit more 'TV' in terms of the acting and direction, and the Merman character looks and acts like he wandered out of the make up dept for Star Trek Deep Space Nine - striking a rare false note in an otherwise very believable and real feeling se...

The Mandalorian Season 2 – Chapters 1 & 2 – Review by Matt Fox (May The Toys Be With You) As cinemas around the world close their doors and major movie releases are shunted to 2021 the Mandalorian returns to bring a bit of big screen entertainment direct to our homes. And wow, do the first two e...

I wonder if 40 years is a record for completing a sticker album, congratulations.

I had this album too and looking at these images and doing playground swaps must have subliminally helped ingrain the obsession for Star Wars in our young brains!

Merry Xmas to all the SWFUK lads. Makes me feel less of a loony knowing there are others out there that share my love of the plastic gold!

You'd like it in Singapore, apparently they've had to cut those 2 seconds of hot girl-on-girl action to avoid an adult rating.

The Rise Of Skywalker (2019) – Review by Matt Fox (May The Toys Be With You) CONTAINS SPOILERS – please see the film before reading! A new Star Wars movie on the big screen is always cause for a trip to the pictures, and The Rise Of Skywalker is no exception – in fact it benefits from more than one ...

Maybe they've all bee locked up in space prison. Maybe baby Yoda has already done porridge! Baby Borstal has definitely done an 8, and used his mind powers to sniff out the nonces and the grasses on his block. That's why he wouldn't step foot on that prison ship, too many bad memories. For me that ...

Thanks for sharing the pic of the "show bag", in truth that's a new one on me and it's always good to hear about something vintage related, a different way of selling, that doesn't get talked about much if ever. Tricky thing to classify but it's a bag so maybe it ought to be on the radar o...

Here's my review of the first couple chapters if anyone fancies a longish read... The Mandalorian – Chapters 1 & 2 (2019) – Review by Matt Fox (May The Toys Be With You) Star Wars… to many of us the essence of Star Wars is encapsulated in that booming first chord of John William’s overture and t...

Really enjoyed this, especially the Jawas and the Sandcrawler scuffle. Although, apart from the Yoda Baby revelation, I don't think this episode moved the story along much. Still only minor niggles, still loving the series so far. I actually really enjoyed the pacing of the second chapter, minimal ...

Very sad to hear that the host with the most, Stu Skinner, is hanging up his microphone. Stu you've been brilliant, and you deserve far more than a Spice Girls send off! I do hope that you return back to the podcast in cameo form some day... Andy and Mark good to hear from both of you boys, you brou...

Steve, I just looked at the Vectis Auction catalogue, and as you mention - it is very obvious where your collection starts in the auction! An amazing array and I am sure it will do well and help you out at this difficult time. I am sorry to hear of your separation. We haven't met in person but in co...

Another lovely long listen! Jez, sorry to hear you are 'stepping down' but your reasons are 100% understandable, and if I was a pilot under your command I'd much rather you had all your attention on me than on Luke X-Wing Pilot :D . You did get gipped on that green accessories question though - R2 P...
