Episode 116 : Holiday Special Spectacular

Ho, ho, ho! But that’s enough from Jabba.  It’s that time of year again, when thoughts turn to families, feasting, and festivities. Yes, it’s the Vintage Rebellion Christmas Special!   Kicking things off in fine style we take a look back at vintage gifts received, the good, the bad, and the ugly.  The team then consider casting their own nativity play - Star Wars style, of course.   The New Acquisitions section sees Jason back on fine form with a list as long as Santa’s, and the other lads also picking up some pre-Christmas goodies.  There’s a Carol service with the boys singing the praises of their favourite items this year, and a Christmas dinner with the tastiest treats of 2024 from around the collecting world.   Spoons is joined by a very special guest for a geographical Quiz, and there’s a heartfelt session of gift giving and receiving between the podcast crew, with everyone firmly in the Christmas spirit.   In Rebel Briefings we hear Echoes and go Farthest From, get excited about Retro, put action figures where the sun don’t shine, talk popular and dilapidated figures, mourn the passing of Greg Hildebrandt and Brian Turner, and get to the bones of Skeleton Crew.   With plenty of festive fun and frolics to boot, we wish all our listeners all the very best for the festive season, however you may celebrate it.  Look out for the podcast in all the usual places, and tell your friends!
