The Sandcrawler #97 - Changing As Collectors

August 21, 2020

Almost four years ago we decided to take our Star Wars collecting passion to the podcast realm. In that time we've evolved as fans and collectors of Star Wars.  This week we talk about recent changes in our Star Wars rooms and what it means for the future of our collecting habits.  In Dan's case, monumental change.  It's a great story and a good discussion and we're very happy to bring it to you this week.

We open the show by covering Hasbro's August 2020 Fan First Friday livestream.  Well, actually we open with some Batman talk.  Batfleck or Keaton? Batmens?  Some pretty cool 3.75 action figures are headed our way and we're STOKED about the Vintage Collection Tantive IV play set.   We also catch up in what new purchases we've found in I Wanted Everything.  There's all the general goofiness you're accustomed to and we go on a slight rant on what COVID-19 means for humanity (and the queue at IKEA).

We managed to get this show to you despite numerous technical difficulties including no video for a promised YouTube segment (sorry, eh?).  What did we manage to bring you? A huge I Wanted Everything featuring a very emotional Mac finding a replacement for a special childhood Star Wars toy.  We then dive into part one of our look at the Cinema Scene sets from the Power of the Force line.

With all the madness going on in the world, why not take a break and have a laugh with us?  This week Dan makes his case against Simon Pegg as Dengar, we talk about Hasbro's new look for Star Wars Black Series (and fumble about whether they're new figures or not).

A rumoured Vintage Collection Carbon Freeze Chamber has us excited  (see photos of the Power of the Jedi version here) while collectors rally to save TVC (lend your support here: Change.org). ILM hosted a great YouTube chat between 4 legendary Star Wars creators. If you haven't seen it, we've got the link for you.  Seriously, great stuff!  Here are images of the Syd Mead design that inspired the look of the Imperial Walkers.
