FORCE-CAST: COLLECTORS CAST SPECIAL REPORT
Collecting has always been a huge part of Star Wars fandom, from the hard-core adult collector who aims to become the next Steve Sansweet, to the kid who rips the action figures out of their packaging for a romp in the sandbox. While Star Wars collecting is still a very vibrant hobby, more than a few collectors have scaled back. Is it the economy? Is it because there are no Star Wars films on the horizon? Or is it for entirely different reasons all together? The Force-Cast attempts to find out in this all-new Special Report. Joining Jason Swank and Jimmy Mac are some very special (and quite qualified) guests. We start with Rebelscum's Dan Curto who has his finger on the pulse of the collector. Then we climb up the latter to talk to the man in charge of Hasbro's Star Wars line, Brand Manager DERRYL DEPRIEST. Derryl talks about the past, present and future of everyones favorite action figure line with a few scoops, predictions, and laughs along the way! Then, we top it all of with Fanboys Director KYLE NEWMAN's collecting wish list! Do you collect Star Wars and are still buying everything like you used to? Or do you find that your collecting habits have been curbed lately? Either way, you owe it to yourself to learn about The State Of The Hobby with The Force-Cast Collectors Cast Special Report!
