Every collector has to start somewhere, and in this episode, we’re blasting off into a galaxy far, far away to talk about starting a Star Wars vintage figure collection! With decades of figures, variants, and vehicles out there, it can be a little overwhelming—but fear not, young Padawan. We’ll help guide you to a solid launch point with a special focus on the original 12 Kenner figures that began it all in 1978. From Luke to Leia, Vader to the Jawa, we’ll break down what makes these figures so iconic and how to navigate your first steps as a vintage collector. And we’re not making this journey alone! Back on the show is our good friend Jake Book, who’s just started down this exciting (and slightly obsessive) path himself. He’s recently taken his first steps into a larger world of vintage Star Wars collecting, and we’re thrilled to hear what’s caught his eye so far. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just thinking about picking up your first figure, this episode is for you! Then we talk about Road to the Past Collectibles to see if we should go there someday.
