Over the years, the Cincinnati Toy Show weekend has become a staple for Star Wars fans and Kenner collectors.
The weekend has consistently offered a wide variety of memorable activities. Attendees dine together, tour collections at friends’ homes, and buy and sell rare and desirable figures and prototypes at room sales and the Sunday toy show.
But what was the weekend like for someone who has been traveling out to Ohio since the 1990s, in search of Star Wars collectibles?
Join host David Quinn for a conversation with longtime collector Ron Salvatore, as Ron recaps his experience in Cincinnati and shares stories about dumpster diving for prototypes, the early days of the Kenner trips, and the impact of legendary Star Wars collectors like Steve Denny.
This is a look at the annual Cincinnati Toy Show weekend. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
