I couldn’t believe it.

After a string of toy shows with very little worthwhile Star Wars memorabilia, I had stumbled upon one of my best finds in years.

And it happened at the Toys for the Ages Expo in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

The Toys for the Ages Expo is one of the premier vintage toy shows on the east coast.

The brainchild of Andy Cook, the show focuses on the beloved lines from the 1970s, 80s and 90s, but it covers all of the collectibles from the past 50 years.

And for Star Wars fans, it was a toy paradise. There were more Kenner and Hasbro gems at this show than at any in recent memory.

Join host David Quinn for part one of a look at the weekend of the Toys for the Ages Expo. Travel out to the show, experience what Friday’s setup is like for vendors, join the crew for a group dinner, and find out what made Saturday’s show so memorable and so very special for collectors!

This is an unforgettable toy trip weekend. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

Featuring collectors Andy Cook, Peter LeRose, Kevin Mann, Bob Mastrella, Matthew Mitchell, and Mark Ryan.
