#124: Are Modern Collectors Leaving the Hobby?

Smugglers' Galaxy: A Star Wars Collecting Podcast

When talking to modern Star Wars collectors, a new sentiment starts to emerge about the hobby; prices are getting to high and collectors are having difficulty seeing value in the items they buy. A regular release of a The Vintage Collection figure is pushing $17, and a Black Series figure is $25. With the increase in prices, a lot of collectors are slowing down and buying less. On this episode of the Smuggler's Galaxy podcast, Glen and Jason discuss this (possibly) emerging trend. How much is too much for a TVC or Black Series figure? What makes a figure a good value? Is the number of collectors dwindling from where it was in the mid-2000s? How much life is left in the modern Star Wars action figure market? Glen and Jason discuss these points and more. Additionally, Hasbro held a fan channel Q&A and Glen and Jason walk through the points brought up in these sessions. They also cover the Bad Batch, Willow, and possible movies in the works at Lucasfilm. All this and pick ups of the week!
