  • Where Do Collectors Shop Now? Shops, Shows and Community
    Oct 16 2026
    We did not record last week, so this one runs a little longer. David has been exploring shops in East Texas, Roger shares a Star Wars shop in Austin with a fun greeting at the door, and we ask a simple question: where are people collecting today?

    Here's what we get into: Small shops, comic stores, and antique stores. How the places we shopped growing up have changed, and what is happening to the malls. Collector marketplaces, conventions like New York Comic Con and D23, and online options like Whatnot and eBay. How to tell what is truly vintage. Collecting vs. acquiring vs. flipping, including a transparent story about extra D23 pins. A Return of the Jedi-era carded figure collection and why honest condition disclosure matters. And finding your people, including a friendship that started on early online groups and grew at Star Wars Celebration.

    The big takeaway: the best collecting is about the story, the memory, and the people. If you are starting out, pay attention to what sparks joy for you, be honest about what you are buying, and find your people.

    Where is your go-to spot for finding collectibles? We would love to hear.

  • Galaxy's Edge Finds and Remembering John Villalino
    Sep 25 2026
    This one's got two halves: a fun rundown of what we picked up on a recent Disneyland and Galaxy's Edge trip, and something closer to home, a tribute to our friend John Villalino.

    Here's what we get into: A Galaxy's Edge haul, a Droid Mystery Box, a vibro-ax from Dok-Ondar's, and a seasonal R2 werewolf droid. The updated Millennium Falcon ride, now with a Mandalorian storyline. A conversation about the books that pulled us into Star Wars as kids: the Thrawn trilogy, The Courtship of Princess Leia, and The Truce at Bakura. And our favorite droids across the Star Wars universe.

    The big takeaway: collecting is more fun, and more meaningful, when it's shared with people. In the second half of this episode, we take time to remember our friend John Villalino, a talented comic book writer who worked on shows like Chuck and self-published his own comics for years at San Diego Comic-Con. John recently passed, and this episode is our way of honoring him and the community he built. We also talk about the Hero Initiative, a nonprofit that supports comic creators facing financial, medical, or career hardship, and a fundraiser we're planning for 2027 using items from John's own collection.

    If it's been a while since you talked to someone who matters to you, consider this your nudge. Reach out.

  • Lucas Museum Preview + The Yoda That Came Full Circle
    Sep 18 2026
    Roger and I are back for Episode 2, and this one's a two-parter: a walkthrough of the brand-new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art from someone who got to see it before it opened to the public, and a full-circle collector story about a life-size Yoda that's been 27 years in the making.

    I'm a founding member of the Lucas Museum, and I got to walk through it with my family the week before it officially opens on September 22nd.

    Here's what we get into: What's actually inside the museum, and why it's not a Star Wars museum, even though there's a lot of Star Wars there. The building itself, five stories in Exposition Park with a free public garden and a free library. The fourth floor's curated galleries, Norman Rockwell, Frank Frazetta, comic art, and more. The Star Wars exhibit itself, Landspeeder, Darth Maul, General Grievous, R2-D2, costumes, and more, all from the first six films. A surprising detail about some of the pieces on display, including work attributed to Tom Spina Designs. And the story behind my life-size Episode I-style Yoda, a 1999 Blockbuster promotional giveaway, a picture of me with one at my very first Star Wars Celebration in Denver, and how one found its way back to me 27 years later.

    The big takeaway: whether it's a museum built to house a lifetime of storytelling or a Yoda that's been sitting in a box since 1999, the fun is in getting these things back into the hands of people who'll actually appreciate them. That's the whole reason Lightside Collectibles exists.

    Got a picture of your own collectibles, or been to the museum yourself? Tag us, we want to see it.
