Excellent series on collecting here - I'm still upset about what happened to his Death Star.
I FORGOT I HAD THIS.
I chuckled so much at the Loopholes special today @ianboldsworth.bsky.social @allmyownteeth.bsky.social but yeah, hang them
Haha SAME! (Many thanks)
@katecherrell.bsky.social on here 👍🏻
I’m a little late recommending this. Not just about Star Wars - don’t let that put you off. Check out his Patreon too - so much interesting stuff
The circle is complete. The final advent calendar door reveals the concluding episode of It’s Not A Toy, and you can listen to the whole thing at podcast places. It isn’t even about Star Wars…
Epitomising our entire messed up culture since 1973:

The advent calendar opens on the last week of It’s Not A Toy with a look at how much folk pretend vintage toys are worth and how they exclude others from joining in. Available now on the podcast places.
Scandal! In episode 6 of It’s Not A Toy, a major event that rocks the trust of the vintage toy collecting community. Out now on podcast places.
Ep 5 of the It’s Not A Toy podcast gets fighty. Even if you’ve no time to listen to them all, this is a great standalone. The advent door is open and it’s available in podcast places now.
Episode 4 of It’s Not A Toy is here on the advent calendar, delving into the divisive world of reproduction parts in the vintage toy collecting world. At all the usual podcast places.
Great podcast about a fandom niche that is both massive and not oft discussed. Well worth listening to.
Just started @ianboldsworth.bsky.social new podcast - podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/i...
Instantly hooked. Star Wars fans you will love it but Ian appeals to everyone. He is a very funny and lovely boy. Listen now.
Episode 3 of the It’s Not A Toy podcast lands and takes us into the war zone of modern day collectors of old toys. We also hear how cool I was at university (very). Available in the usual places.
Even if you have no interest in toy collecting it’s still a fascinating podcast.
Brilliant podcast giving a fascinating insight into the psychology of collecting (and some heartwarming memories of acquiring Star Wars Figure.
Recommend!
Feel like I mainly recommend podcasts on here, but this is another good one!
Most of the people following me would probably find this podcast entertaining and enjoyable, even if you're not really a Star Wars fan. Dollies are universal, innit.
We don’t get to that till episode 5…
Door 2 on It’s Not A Toy advent calendar is now open. Episode 2 is available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc - where the hunters become the hunted…
Out now! A new podcast by @ianboldsworth.bsky.social
I've already heard them all. They're fascinating, gentle, and very educational (about Star Wars toys).
A very warm and comfortable listen. I heartily recommend it.

A brilliant, fascinating podcast about toy collecting: the history of a hobby and the personalities and controversies in it, told via the story of the host's mission to collect the original Star Wars figures and his entry into the often peculiar world of collectors.
I was interviewed earlier in the year for a Podcase about the highs and lows of vintage Star Wars collecting. You can now listen to that along with a whole host of other people talking about the hobby:

It is sort of a podcase with nine episodes in it
Brand spanking new podcast series about the vintage toy collecting community has now emerged into the general public… it’s quite the saga podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/i...
