Toy show season is almost here!

With the return of weekend ventures to venues stocked with toys and collectibles, Star Wars collectors need to take note of something truly important:

Toy shows matter.

Whether you’re hunting for carded and loose Kenner figures, or the modern Hasbro lines, or the vast number of items bearing the Star Wars logo, a toy show may offer some of the best pieces at the best prices.

But there are a number of benefits to these in-person events, ones that may change your life!

Join host David Quinn for a look at the toy show experience, and how it positively impacts collecting and connecting within the Star Wars community.

This is why toy shows matter.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

222. ROGUE FUN Day 2: A Hike, A Legendary Star Wars Collection Tour, And Late-Night Prototype Sales!

Ed and Ryan are back ready to talk about the collectibles they've acquired since last episode and discuss all the newly announced figures.

Collector-verse S5 Ep04

The main event is finally here.  And it’s the pinnacle of one of the greatest Star Wars collectors weekends ever.

In May of 2024, 200 collectors traveled to Kennesaw, Georgia for Rogue Fun, a multi-day Star Wars trip centering on collecting and connecting.

And on Saturday, May the Fourth, the Georgia Alliance hosted a 7-hour ballroom event, featuring dinner, room sales and five incredible Star Wars-themed panel presentations.  

The panels covered the history of Star Wars and the Sears holiday catalogs, two legendary action figure customizers, the artist who introduced Boba Fett to the world in 1978, and Steve Sansweet and the authors of two of the most iconic books about collectibles. 

And the presentations ended with a wildly funny and insightful chat with two former Kenner creatives who worked on the Kenner line and helped design some of the most beloved Star Wars figures and playsets.

The evening concluded with every collector’s dream: an epic room sales event in the ballroom.  From Kenner to Hasbro, and from prototypes and production pieces, the event had enough Star Wars items for sale to fill an entire store!

Join host David Quinn for an in-depth look at day three of the memorable Rogue Fun weekend.  

Featuring live moments and stories from Star Wars fans and collectors Rich Alot, Howard Bollinger, Lewis Brown, John Celestri, Tim Effler, Matt Fox, Jerry Hancock, Josie Harmon, Paul Harrison, Don Henderson, Erik Janniche, Bruce Lieberman, Jonathan McElwain, Doug Meyer, Maggie Moore, Shawn Moynihan, Narayan S. Naik, Steven J. Sansweet, Barry Scott, Ryan Shaw, Jason Smith, Tim Theall, Mike Tricomi, Vinny Tricomi, Jason Wasulko, Shannon Wasulko, Gary Ray Weaver, Glen Williams and many more!

This is the magic of the Star Wars collecting community at its peak.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

Star Wars: Prototypes and Production is a podcast that provides an in-depth look into the Star Wars films, TV series, and books we love.  It also covers the Kenner and Hasbro toys, and examines the process of those toys, from concepts to prototypes to the ones that made it to the toy stores!  Join host David Quinn on a journey with fellow collectors to learn more about Star Wars and the fascinating hobby of collecting Star Wars toys.

This is the wonder of a galaxy far, far away.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
