Solo (2018) – Review by Matt Fox Mild spoilers – would recommend seeing the film before reading. Arriving just 5 months after The Last Jedi, Star Wars fans have never had such a short wait between movies, and fittingly Solo isn’t a film that needs or demands a lot of fanfare. A Guardians Of...

I hope Stu, Rich and the boys will forgive me for making a shout out to Toy Run podcast. Ian put me in touch with them and I was interviewed on this week's episode. The interviewer was Criz Bee who was himself also on the Vintage Rebellion back on Ep 29, I think we had a great chat, always good...

I don't like to recommend any podcast other the Vintage Rebellion, but if you're all caught up on that then the latest Empire Podcast centres around a really fascinating and frank interview with Rian Johnson, where they go into some depth about the movie, and the meaning and reasoning behind...

The Last Jedi (2017) – Review by Matt Fox (May The Toys Be With You) I had tickets safely booked in several weeks before release. I’d be watching The Last Jedi at the local Curzon with my family, including two young daughters who’d both very much enjoyed The Force Awakens. However, as a keen...

I had the opening of May The Toys Be With You exhibition at Gosport Discovery Centre on Saturday and I met a local collector called Darren (he has been on this forum as Daz B). He had a run of the first 20 on Palitoy cards, and at the time he thought he was only one of 3 to have done that...

I think the collecting community has done brilliantly to mostly remove / ban the sale of repro from forums and facebook groups and respect to all those who have adopted the 'no repro' stance. However the problem of ebay remains, and on that front the repro mostly definitely appears to be...

'Shed Of The Year' on Channel 4 last night had a little glimpse of vintage Star Wars with a couple of AT AT Walkers on display amongst the decorations in the shed below (out of shot in the pic). Another shed featured was a reconstructed ABC Cinema, complete with a good amount of cinema...

I wanted to share some pics of the Battle of Hoth diorama that the Torquay Museum currently has on display. I know most collectors display their figures in a straight forward sort of way and let the object do the talking, but has anyone tried or been tempted to pose figures or playsets and 'do a...

I'm not making this up... for those that didn't see this U-Grade auction posted on facebook. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-War-Tauntaun-Highest-One-Ever-Graded-AFA-U90-1980-Kenner-/162302787220?nma=true&si=v0OUYt4mJVFOdg0CjvReUnv6hpc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Is nothing sacred... Although esoteric and far from mass market some bright spark has taken it upon themselves to repro Popy catalogs. If you are a collector in this sphere then watch out. I hate this stuff, and have no idea if there are any 'tells' to spot repro from real...
