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!

VOID SLOWED - DARTH VADER "THEN YOU WILL DIE BRAVER THAN MOST"

Why is The Maryland Toy Expo one of the best toy shows on the east coast for Star Wars collectors?

The summer toy show season kicked off in a major way, with a June trip to the town of Timonium for The Maryland Toy Expo.  

The Expo offered Star Wars and toy collectors the opportunity to hunt for Kenner and Hasbro items across two massive buildings, featuring more than 300 vendor tables packed with carded and loose figures, prototypes, boxed vehicles and playsets, international items, and other desirable rarities.

Join host David Quinn for part one of The Maryland Toy Expo experience, as he explores the show during the Friday afternoon vendor setup.  

This is why you need to be in Timonium for the fall show.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

No Light Left x chalice of mind - yabujin (ultra slowed)

One of the best toy shows on the east coast is ending its run in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

Next year, The Toys For The Ages Expo is moving to an all-new facility in Gettysburg, but last weekend’s show was a fitting way to say goodbye, and was a spectacular event.

Join host David Quinn as he returns to Carlisle for the fourth year, in part one of the Toys For the Ages Expo weekend series.

Tour the show with him during vendor setup, chat with fellow collectors, hear about some of the early Friday pickups, and learn why The Toys For The Ages Expo resonates with so many people.

This is only the beginning for the incredible Expo.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

230: Friends, Finds, Figures, Farewell: The Final Toys For The Ages Expo Weekend In Carlisle, Part 2

Grandeur

/// LETRA ///
Chosen child, prophecy betrayed,
Mustafar burning, destiny remade.
Brother struck down, the ashes remain,
From the flames a shadow gained.

Breath of iron, lungs of smoke,
Chains of power, promises broke.
Cloaked in terror, servant and lord,
A saber crimson becomes his sword.

Darth Vader! Fear across the stars,
Breaker of empires, master of wars!
Darth Vader! Born in pain and fire,
The Dark Side’s will, the Empire’s pyre!

The Jedi hunted, temples fall,
Young and old, he slaughters all.
Order Sixty-Six fulfilled by hand,
A thousand voices silenced in the sand.

Across the void, rebellion crushed,
Worlds in silence, hope is hushed.
The shadow’s hand, the Emperor’s blade,
An empire eternal in fear is made.

Darth Vader! Fear across the stars,
Breaker of empires, master of wars!
Darth Vader! Born in pain and fire,
The Dark Side’s will, the Empire’s pyre!

"I am your father!"
The words divide the light.
"I am your father!"
The end of Jedi might.
"I am your father!"
The bloodline bound in chains.
"I am your father!"
The galaxy remains!

Fortress rises on Mustafar’s stone,
A citadel carved, of blackened bone.
Visions haunt him, Padmé’s cries,
But mercy died as the old self dies.

Apprentice fallen, Ahsoka stands,
Their sabers clash with broken hands.
The mask is torn, the scar revealed,
The man is gone, the wound unhealed.

Darth Vader! Fear across the stars,
Breaker of empires, master of wars!
Darth Vader! Born in pain and fire,
The Dark Side’s will, the Empire’s pyre!

Darth Vader! Fear across the stars,
Breaker of empires, master of wars!
Darth Vader! Born in pain and fire,
The Dark Side’s will, the Empire’s pyre!

Darth Vader! Fortress black remains,
A legend written in blood and chains!
Darth Vader! Forever will command,
The fist of iron across the land!

Hook:
Thanos Skywalker, call me Thanos Skywalker
With all these bitches on me, I'd make a fine father
Thanos Skywalker, call me Thanos Skywalker
You puny humans pester me, and I'm your fly swatter
Thanos Skywalker, call me Thanos Skywalker
Why cry over spilled milk when blood spills like water?
THANOS SKYWALKER, CALL ME THANOS SKYWALKER
When I beam you up like Scottie, that ain't no flying saucer

Verse 1:
I'm the Dark Lord
With star wars enemy clones and infinity stones
Hammers I pull can drop Thor
You Peter Quills with weaker wills
Hesitate like cowards
I'm inevitable you underestimated my power
You crumb beings
Are nothing
Compared to me, you're younglings
Who seek to save your souls
I tread war torn globes
Including your home
I'm an immortal
I'm the one the force chose
So do as you're told
So don't get force choked
And punched in your Norse nose
My light saber sword glows
Like my red eyes blinded
I'll make them forget about you without Jedi Mind Tricks
But like Stark, I hope that they remember you
Whether you
Draw, win, or lose
I'm raining fire down
On top of entire towns
Until gore spills on your shields and force fields
Of course I have the higher ground 
I'm the higher being
Wiping out entire teams
Despite your cries and screams
Mofos must like to bleed
Your FOMO surprises me
I got the time stone today slow mo or hyperspeed?
I'm catching body after body like the price of life was cheap
Against your mightiest heroes, I'll try my chances dolo
One gauntlet behind my back, I call that Han Solo
When I throw hands even Ronan has no chance
I've defeated guardians of galaxies
For you to beat me, you're in an alternate reality
It's often disappointing or influenced by spells
If Dooku and them fail
To quell the defiant rebel alliance fuck it then, fine I'll do it myself
It's best to have better aim than storm troopers if you pop your gun
Otherwise you did all that just for a drop of blood
Oh you could do this all day? Well great, do not give up
I'm not lifting sticks;
Sidius executed order sixty-six
And it's truly a tragedy when Death Stars start to spray
Gods start to pray
Cuz heads get ejected to galaxies far far away
You should've gone for mine because I broke a few hearts
And open new scars
There's more fire in me than in Earth's closest two stars
Apparently there won't be pairs in Noah's new arc
Cuz I'm the chosen one, but you? I don't even know who you are
And you can't gain my respect
I'm the angel of Death
Strangling necks
And I came to collect 
Can't live with all your regret
Should've gone for the head
All I'm surrounded by is fear and dead men like it's dawn of the dead
Your back will face a gurney
If your lack of faith disturbs me
Death's an unfaithful bitch; of course she'd kiss you
They'll sorely miss you
Like fantastic four reissues
You pussies ain't black panthers, now Storm needs tissue
I'm not mourning Gamora, and I'm not mourning Windu
Would you rather be an X-man or be crippled?
Because unless you're Magneto stopping forty missiles
Before each hits you
And have better aim than Mandalorians do
If I'm on your ass, may the force be with you
