"We can't keep Star Wars items on the shelf.”

Between 1978 and 1980, the marketing blitz of Star Wars toys and memorabilia was unlike anything previously experienced by both consumers and retailers.    

From Darth Vader figures, to TIE Fighters and X-Wings, to the massive Death Star Space Station, many of the exciting toys Kenner released during the holiday season sold out as quickly as they arrived.  

Longtime collector and writer Ron Salvatore reflected on Kenner’s impact on the holidays, in an article for the Star Wars Collectors Archive site, 

Join host David Quinn for a conversation with Ron about this must-read Christmas article.  And hear accounts and news stories that offer a peek into the frenzied retail world during that time, in which Star Wars toys topped wishlists across the country and around the world.  

And hear Ron’s humorous and insightful reporting of this story, in his own words.  

This is the perfect way to kick off the holidays for Star Wars fans and collectors.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

Our first official Christmas episode of 2024 starts here with James Gunn’s THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY HOLIDAY SPECIAL (2022)!

We also talk about some Christmas movies and snacks Steven’s been into this year, Guinness nitro being a great winter beer, who would our friends kidnap to make our Christmas better, Office Christmas Party (2016), wearing a band’s t-shirt to their show, Red One (2024), Dear Santa (2024), and more!
