Today I'm doing a very special review from one of my favorite toylines of all time: Galoob's Micro Machines Star Wars!

Matt George drops in for a brilliant interview on his beloved Ben Kenobi, giving some incredible insights to pre-production collecting. Unlike Hasbro most recent Star Destroyer, these ones are actually on the edges of the ship so they can be used in battle!

Themed around the latest output from Disney, vintage and modern collectibles, social events and swag – it's a jam-packed show that takes in the key live panels, The Mandalorian Experience exhibition, Collecting Track, the Generation Skywalker-sponsored Hop Wars craft beer event and all the action from the show floor and beyond. Join Stu, Jez, Dan and Craig as they discuss how their modern collecting tastes have developed over the past year, and find out what items from these current releases may (or may not) find a home on their shelves. Bill shares some incredible collecting stories and covers all aspects of his Vader Vault from his mushroom tipped double telescoping lightsaber, to his treasured Ralph McQuarrie party favours, and his 1978 Darth Vader beer to his 1999 Japanese Motorcycle Jacket. It's possibly one of the greatest things Galoob ever devised with Micro Machines and it again shows how much they loved the property.It's a refreshing discussion with a fan who sees the positives in ALL Star Wars, even if it's sometimes flawed. Plus Stuart and Craig sit in to tell their stories of when they met Carrie Fisher and what the Princess means to them. International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions.

The nose elevates and can pivot, allowing you to launch Vader's TIE fighter in any direction you would like. With almost 500 separate images and clips to accompany our latest roundtable show, there's plenty here to inspire your collecting. They gush over the Palitoy Death Star and try to find answers for long standing mysteries around some aspects of the range from those initial years.

She is Princess Leia, and here's one of two shows dedicated to the Princess from a Galaxy Far, Far Away. It's cool and all, but I think Galoob really should have tried to incorporate Vader's meditation chamber in this set. Listen to Stu, Jez, Dan and special guest Ian Trussler debate the long list here, or head straight to the video to watch our final Top 10. Welcome to a pilot show for a new format where each show will have a topic, a Top 10 countdown and the discussion prior to the vote. As well as a full review of collecting in 2022 and a look forward into 2023, this packed episode of Those Old Fossils has three exclusives.

Since the bottom of the Star Destroyer opens up you can recreate the beginning of A New Hope with the Tantive IV being pulled into the grasp of the Empire. It’s not every show where we get to talk 'antique lace', ‘the male gaze’ and ‘cosplay’ – so join us as we explore the costumes of a selection of key players and background characters, and of course, have a good rifle through Padme’s eclectic wardrobe. Plus, there’s an exciting announcement about the next event we’ll be attending, that you really won’t want to miss. Craig also drops in to tell us all about the early Palitoy items that went beyond the toys and covers the advertising and point-of-sale materials the company deployed to sell us those wonderful toys.We have been celebrating all month, but as an extra special treat we've also curated and assembled a collection of behind the scenes clips, archive news and TV footage into one mega tribute to a chapter in the Skywalker story that has sat too long in the shadow of more revered movies. What a great excuse to pull together some fantastic clips and images for a two-hour Leia Organa special. It also doesn’t make much sense why they included a Vader who was clearly ready for combat with his lightsaber ignited, when all he can really do is sit in his meditation chamber. Universally recognised as the Darth Vader collector, this lifelong Star Wars fan holds the Guinness World Record for the ‘Largest Darth Vader Collection in the World’. Neon orange on the crane, and cables moulded onto the base don’t look very Empire-y, but seeing as this toy came out in the ’90s, I’ll give this a pass.
