Were you a Star Wars fan in 1986? Did you wake up faithfully
on Saturday mornings to watch the Ewoks and Droids cartoons and hope beyond
hope that THIS episode would be the one to have Luke Skywalker in it? Did
you continue to scour the pegs for Star Wars figures even though they were
few and far between? Well there wasn’t a whole lot of Star Wars in 1986,
but there was in Brazil! This week Arnie and Marjorie look at the singular
most expensive Star Wars figure, Vlix from Glasslight’s Brazillian Droids
line.
In addition, Arnie spoke to the executive producer of the Star Wars Audio
Books, Jacob Bronstein. Jacob tells us a little bit about what goes into
the making of the Star Wars audio books, as well as giving us some
information of the books new release on iTunes. To make matters even
better, he has given us a coupon to allow all Star Wars Action News
listeners to receive a free digital audio book, the audio book for the first
volume in the Legacy of the Force series, Betrayal by Aaron Allston.
Finally, our friends at Sideshow Collectibles have donated a prize for our
biggest contest yet—a 1/6 scale Jabba the Hutt and throne! But to win a
prize of this magnitude will require some work on your part as Star Wars
Action News conducts its first scavenger hunt.
Plus the usual store reports (we found Wave 1 of TSC!), voice mails (how do
you insure your collection), Poll of the week (discussing more about
Celebration 4), and more.
