glad you all had a great time there, brother. believe me if life wasn't a real chore right now, i would have been there. but, maybe next year. may the force and the lord's love be with you and yours always, my old friend. love and hugs.
Joey, you are simply amazing! I can't believe that you've only been doing this a short time. You sound so professional and very well spoken. It seems that you've been doing this for decades. Definitely love this recap on this convention and all your interaction with everyone. Fantastic job! augie
Thanks Augie!! I try and make something I would have fun watching so it means a lot to me that you like it too :). Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
I've been watching your channel for over a year now. I got motivated after seeing the one video when you got the Collector Displays case and got the same one! It's in my living room and I love it! It took me about 2 months to finally complete the entire run of figures I didn't already have. Most were last 17 and a vinyl cape Jawa. Thanks for your great videos really inspiring. 😊
Thanks for the kind words Dominic! I’m so stoked you are enjoying the content and super stoked that you picked up a case! It’s honestly the best investment I have made in my collection .
Lucian’s whole life was made he said! He’s been waiting for this video since we left ICCC and has counted down the minutes today until he could watch it! The second he seen his selfie he was speechless! Happiest boy ever today! 💙
What you said at the end of the video about getting together with friends that you talk to all year was the best part of this episode. It’s so true. The IC is a special place built by family values, great memories, and amazing people. MTFBWY
Hey Jason! Yes, that was the BEST part of the whole trip! I’m so glad I met some old friends and made some new ones. So special! Thanks for watching my friend! MTFBWY!
WOW. I'm glad you got to do this and glad you had a great time. Sounded like a lot of fun. I'm typically not into conventions or celebrations, but this sounded like a really good one. Very special. Those figures looked great. I would simply go nuts. Congrats on meeting and speaking with these actors and getting Ian McDiarmid's autograph! :) I'd probably wet myself if I ended up meeting Mr. McDiarmid. :) You really came away with a lot, great deals and great memories. Thanks a lot for the video thanks for sharing this. :)
Thanks T! I had a really great time getting to connect with so many people. That was the best part :). Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment my friend!
Your work is amazing Joey, you highlight so many things at the ICCC. It’s also very special that u mentioned us in the video! A pleasure to spend time with you and you nailed it at the end! I think that’s one of the most things we enjoy is getting to meet everyone from online and able to hang out together like family! Most excellent job with the video!!!
What a great video!! What an experience my friend. So happy (and jealous)... Just came back from a toy show myself. Not as big as yours, but happy to add 8 additional figures to my collection. Thanks again!!
Excellent toy hunt of amazing star wars merchandise figures keep collecting and may the force be with you all star wars fans the force is strong with this one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Joey, I'm glad you had a great time. I met John Rhys-Davies at a private party at the Pasadena Playhouse in 1998. I've also had Cracker Barrel in four states. If I went to this convention, I probably would spend all of my retirement savings over two days!
Wow! What an epic adventure Joey. I've been sleeping on the ICCC, but after seeing it the last couple of years, I'm thinking I really need to make the trip next year. I was blown away at all the great pick ups you scored this time. So crazy dude - I'm sure the grin didn't disappear from your face at any point during the entire trip. Great work on your interviews too. A+ sir. Loved this whirlwind event recap Joey. Totally amazing!
Only 2 years of collecting and you've far surpassed what I've been able to do since Star Wars came out when I was 6. Hopefully I can make ICCC in a couple of years and met everyone.
Amazing video! Looks like you had the best time there. Your pickups of Graded Yoda's and Jabba the Hutt dungeon and the amazing Tri-logo Han Solo just WOW! The Anakin coin was a great deal also! The Lightsabers are great and that carded palpatine for $100 was a steal. I am going to try and make my way to Nashville at some point in the future! I have enjoyed everyone's videos including yours Joey! Well Done!
Thanks Mike! It would be so cool to go on a hunt with you and walk with you while you are on a hunt! You need to school me on some modern action figures and what to look for haha! Thanks for watching my friend and I am honored to have you watching
This was a great recap, and so professionally done. I’m always amazed by the quality of your context Joey. Was really hoping to attend ICCC, but a huge opportunity came up that made me have to stay here (selling my old home, buying a new home, and a fantastic new job). 2024 will definitely happen. Budget created and money set aside. I’ve met so many people in this community that go to this con, so I absolutely have to attend to be able to meet them all in person. Besides … I still need to hunt down a Yak to finish my own loose collection. I don’t want to pick that up online since it’s a big milestone.
Congratulations on your life going in some exciting directions Joe! I hope you can join next year and go hunting for that yak! I saw about 20 there and all in different conditions for any budget
Thanks Gillster! I’m glad you enjoyed it man! It was a lot of fun and I can’t wait for next year :). Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🙏
Hey Joey, Great deal on the Luke Jedi and the Yodas. Good to see some pricing data from the show. Most vids just run through the show without showing any prices. Great interviews too. I think you got those because you're a warn person.
Thanks TOT!!! I was just glad that I could get that access and have a chance to express what they meant to me. I cant wait for next year, and I'm honored that you enjoyed this video, and took the time to comment :)
@@thepadawancollectorofficial we don’t really have ones with this much Star Wars. But they are still fun. That’s why I’m going to do a trip this summer in England or Europe.
Hey Joey! Who is that handsome fella in the flame shirt?... Ahaha...Happy that I got to meet you that day... Loved your coverage of the ICCC but sad that I missed your panel... I know it will be an enjoyable conversation! I got an Ian McDiarmid autograph on sunday, such an exquisite gentleman.
Hey Sam! Haha! Great to hang out with you! I have the panel in a link in the description, you can watch that now since you are a member of the channel :). I really enjoyed meeting Ian. I talked to him back stage but he wanted it off camera, but it was a nice conversation nonetheless :)
I've been fortunate enough to attend many conventions and toy shows throughout my life, but this one is really starting to interest me. Something feels different about it, in a good way! I've never been to Nashville, but am curious to visit. Hopefully all things will line up and next year I'll get to attend. Is it always around the same time each year?
Hey Enrique! It def feels different in a good way. It’s more about community which I like. I get to learn more and ask questions about the vintage toys in person to some very knowledgeable people. I hope to see you there! It’s always the same time of year but the dates might be different. Keep checking the website and their social media for updates
Joey !! You did such a great job and are an amazing asset to the Star Wars and collecting community!! I can vouch for that because I’m an original generation collector😁 Just curious if you got to interview Ian McDiarmid? What about Tim from Bossk’s Bounty? I love those guys!! You’ve wet my appetite to try to get there next year😁Anyway keep up the great work!! MTFBWY😁
Hey James! I got to talk to Mr. mcDiarmid backstage and off camera a few times but we didn’t get a chance to hold a formal interview. I hope next year he is there. I talked to Tim off camera and just caught up :). They are both great gentlemen. I’m excited to see you there next year :)
Fantastic comic con I can't afford to spend the money on something like the lightsabers. I am 68 years old and have the original blow up lightsaber in the box I would think they are worth more but to each his own. How much were the original lightsaber selling for?
Hey Wade! Yea I went overboard on the sabers but it was an item I had been looking for, for a long time. The sabers without the signatures are 550 on the website. That’s awesome you have the original blow up sabers! I’m a vintage guy so those are a grail! That’s rad!
It’s most likely going to be in Nashville at the same place. They will probably start announcing dates this fall and the info will keep trickling in. Stay tuned!
I guess i don't really follow the value of SW cards in graded PSA slabs, more NBA and NFL but I won't buy less than a 9. 10's usually fetch the premium @@thepadawancollectorofficial
Joey, it's not personal but I feel guilty when I see people spending massive amounts of money on what amounts to bits of plastic when we have children literally starving to death, not just in distant countries, but right in front of us here and now. A few toys are a nice distraction, but the point should be to look after the less fortunate among us, otherwise we've missed the point entirely. And I admit that I'm guilty of sometimes forgetting what's really important, but I am trying to change myself, hopefully for the better. What I said about 'not just in distant countries' means it shouldn't happen anywhere! Sorry, rant over.
Please subscribe to see more Star Wars and collecting content!
Padawan you don't give advice I got these vintage Star Wars figures 1980s sealed?
Great job Joey! It was great meeting you at ICCC this year. I had a blast meeting so many fellow collectors and content creators there.
It was great meeting you too!!! I cant wait to see you next year!
That's soo cool you interviewed John-Rhys Davis! Damn!
He was so cool to talk to! Im going to edit the entire interview and post it soon :). He was a really cool and funny gentleman
Great to see you again. Great job on this video. the perfect recap!
Thank you so much for the Ahsoka and for hanging out with me and talking. Great to see you again!
glad you all had a great time there, brother. believe me if life wasn't a real chore right now, i would have been there. but, maybe next year. may the force and the lord's love be with you and yours always, my old friend. love and hugs.
Thanks Joseph! I understand, man! I had to cancel celebration this year because life happened, so I get it. Thanks for watching my friend :)

What a rise to stardom in the toy collecting and Star Wars communities you’ve had !
Aw I’m not a star but I had a really good time! Thanks for watching Philippe!

I HAD to include him :). It was SO great to meet him!
I can’t wait until 2024!!! I’m so excited to go to ICCC for the first time!

Hey Richard! That awesome you got to meet him in that setting :). Yea I went overboard this year! Next year I will limit it to a few items lol.
Memories. I had such a great time and happy I went. Can't wait till next year! This might become my annual vacation destination lol
Hey Dev! This has definitely become one of my yearly vacation destinations!
Brilliant episode! Congrats on hosting the panels, Joey!

Congratulations brother, That's AWESOME 💪😎
Thanks Deano! It was a blast and getting to hang out with Chris was cool! Hopefully one day you and I will get to go on some hunts together!
Amazing video! Looks like you had the best time there. Your pickups of Graded Yoda's and Jabba the Hutt dungeon and the amazing Tri-logo Han Solo just WOW! The Anakin coin was a great deal also!
