We’re having some whiskey and getting to the bottom of Star Wars action figure collecting right now. This is a discussion you’ll want to hear!
It’s been a while since we’ve had a down and dirty discussion all about action figures, and a lot has changed in the world of collecting in the meantime. Chris and Joe look at what it’s like to collect in this second half of 2018, what figures we’re chasing, and our predictions for the hobby as we look ahead. And as important as this conversation, or more–we discuss the eating habits of Robert Shaw, give out some Oppos and more. The Star Wars Party starts NOW! It’s time for Brews and Blasters.

Born from the discussions between two friends at a local pub in the historic town of Salem, Massachusetts, Brews and Blasters is your chance to kick back, relax and then enjoy everything about that galaxy far, far away. Your hosts, Chris Salton (founder, The Collectors Hutt) as well as Joe Tavano (founder and editor in chief, RetroZap!) sit down every week to do what would be doing anyway–talk about all things Star Wars, tell some stories, and of course, have a good time. Join Joe and Chris as they share their love for Star Wars, the most obscure Star Wars characters, Boston’s North Shore, 1980s pop culture and delicious food, and occasionally talk to fascinating people–and friends, like an anthropomorphic packet of crystallized lime.
