Curto Burns Collectors’ Cast Special
We’re going back… whoops, wrong franchise! Spending Christmas and New Year with his family at Rancho Obi-Wan in Northern California, James couldn’t miss up on the opportunity to record with Steve Sansweet and bring Dan in on the action as all three look back at Star Wars in 2012 – the events, the collectibles and their favourite items on a Curto Burns Collectors Cast Special.
Recorded on New Year’s Day (exactly three months ago to the day) tune in and listen as they talk about everything from Trading Cards to LEGO – you won’t want to miss this (and see if you can spot what’s changed in the last few months)!

CurtoBurns Collectors Cast: Ep. 6
It’s a huge show that’s been a long time in the making but some things are worth waiting for as we bring you the latest Curto Burns Collectors Cast. This Special Edition show brings together all members of The Force United to discuss the announcement of the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney and the news that we’ll finally be seeing the sequel trilogy of Episodes 7, 8 and 9 starting in 2015. Join Dan and James as they ask their friends from Jedi News, Jedi Temple Archives, Mint In Box, Sandtroopers, Star Wars Action News, Yakface, YodasNews and newest member Sarlacc Pit Podcast (Galactic Binder) what they think of the news. If that wasn’t enough, we check in with the almighty Kyle Newman and since no Curto Burns Collectors Cast would be complete without a visit to Rancho Obi-Wan, we hear from the master himself Steve Sansweet too.

CVI Coverage: Rancho Obi-Wan Experience
One of my personal highlights from Celebration VI was the walkthrough of the Rancho Obi-Wan Experience booth prior to the exhibit floor opening for the day. There were so many rare, unique and one of a kind items on display (one of which being handcrafted Yak Face figure) it required multiple viewings to take them all in. Check out this 80 image gallery to experience Rancho Obi-Wan for yourself.
Thanks to Steve Sansweet for not only bringing the exhibit but also for the taking the time for a brief chat and acceptance of one of our CVI Badge and Coin Pin sets.
Curto Burns Collectors Cast Press Release
James and Dan of Curto Burns Collectors Cast have issued a press release with an update to their location at Celebration VI. Read on for the full details.
The Best Laid Plans of Ewoks and Men
Going into the final arrangements for set-up earlier today, we realized we had a potential problem with the placement of the Curto Burns Collectors Cast. There wasn’t enough room for an audience while people were moving through the Rancho Obi-Wan Experience exhibit. So, the Curto Burns Collectors Cast now has its own space at an expanded booth #450, ‘The Force United’. Steve Sansweet will be dropping by to record with James Burns and Dan Curto during the show (times for all sessions will be posted at the booth.)
Curto Burns Collectors Cast also have a special Collectors Cast postcard to give away along with a badge\button and other giveaways too (while supplies last).
