“Xenia was INSANE…changed my perspective on the toy market.”

That text message from a fellow collector was the impetus for this episode.

How did a show with 500 vendors, 700 tables of vintage and modern toys and with record attendance numbers of 10,000 visitors change a collector’s perspective on our hobby?

What made another longtime collector boldly claim: "The best toy show I've ever attended. Period."

What were some of the rare prototypes and production pieces our fellow Star Wars collectors purchased at Xenia?

And what was the show really like?

Join host David Quinn for a series of conversations with the Star Wars collectors and toy dealers who attended and vended. Learn about the trends and insight gathered from the show, and why Xenia has become one of the most popular shows in the country!

Featuring Vicki Bitter, Clifton Boggs, Zach Curtis, Mike Esposito and Joel Slater.
