Summary

Star Wars set the bar for movie action figures and collectibles in the early 1980s, and that carried through the 2000s during the special editions and prequels. Times have changed, and between empty toy shelves, retailer exclusives, price gouging Ebay resellers, and failing fan-funded campaigns, it feels like Star Wars toys might have lost their way. We discuss that but also get into a lot of other topics in an open chat on this episode, including Stranger Things! The Resistance base is open to all, so please spread the word about our Star Wars podcast and join us! Please be sure to subscribe free to the podcast on your preferred platform!
