The Sandcrawler -108- Hasbro Fan First Friday 2021

Hasbro did their first Star Wars related online fan event for 2021 on Friday January 29 and well….there's a lot to unpack.  Some of it good, some of it….well, let's just say we're concerned about getting Star Wars figures going into 2021. We break down all the announcements and what it means to a couple of guys that still collect toys.

Be sure to follow along with our press release and press photos article on TheSandcrawler.net.   You can also watch Hasbro's livestream.

What did you think of Hasbro's announcements? Let us know!

We would love it if you would leave us a review at Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to us.

The Sandcrawler #107 - Save The Black Series Junior

It's our first show of the new year! And after the year the world went through last year, it's reason to celebrate!

This week we catch up on new Star Wars finds (and other franchises) in I Wanted Everything and Jake asks the question But Where Did The Pins Go?  Getting the Din Djarin/The Child Build Up Pack was a pain for most collectors. How did you make out?  If you haven't gotten it yet, check out our photo gallery.

T-shirt company mentioned by Mac:  OutofPrint.com

We take a quick detour into the world of Star Wars short stories (and a spiral down into the world of Clerks 2)  with the "A Certain Point of View…." series.  Some great stuff in those books but are they better or worse than the Legends "Tales of…." Series?

We take a look at our favourite action figures from 2020 including The Black Series and The Vintage Collection.  It's a fun discussion, showcasing what makes everyone different as collectors.  What were your favourites? Let us know on our social media pages.

This Friday tune in to the First Hasbro Fan First of 2021

Today's episode of The Sandcrawler was recorded on Tuesday December 15, 2020.

Disney announces more Star Wars than any one human could ever keep track off, Bill Burr returns to The Mandalorian and we present our favourite Darth Vader collectables in honour of David Prowse.

The Sandcrawler #104 - The Tragedy

Before we begin this week's show we just want to warn you of two things.  FIRST we will be spoiling Chapter 14 of The Mandalorian.  SECOND,  Instead of bleeping the occasional bad word like we normally do, this episode has NOT been edited for language.   Might wanna have the kiddies leave the room this week.

Chapter 14 of The Mandalorian blew our minds even more than what happened to a certain spaceship featured on the show.  We  give you our thoughts on the episode and the big event that is especially important to a couple of Star Wars collectors. 

It's a short one, but a fun one!

The Sandcrawler #102-Figures We Want From The Mandalorian

DO NOT LISTEN IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE MANDALORIAN

Watch the first 30 minutes of this episode on our YouTube Channel!

As The Mandalorian cruises through the first three episodes of season two we are jonesing for action figures from the show.  We blue sky our favourite requests for Mando figures, vehicles and play sets and let's hope Hasbro is listening. At the top of our list is Mon Cal in sweater.  If we don't get him, we riot……

Before wading into those waters we talk about "Chapter 11: The Heiress" and the split between Mando's Covert and the rest of Mandalore as Bo Katan shows up to blow our minds!  Star Wars Rebels-Legacy of the Darksaber.

We touch on recent Black Series rumours surrounding Rogue One

The Razor Crest Haslab campaign wrapping up and get all giddy about seeing a hands on video of the vehicle.  Check that out here:  Usual Mike YouTube.  Jake shares some recent deliveries and Dan talks about his donation to our friends at The Major Wrestling Figure Podcast.
