Anil and Rob visit the Greater Vancouver Die Cast Toy Show with Anil's nephews and manage to grab a fabulous opprotunity to talk to Rick Tippe. As well as being the show's organizer, he is also a country music artist and current Master of Ceremonies to the annual Hot Wheels Convention.

We get the chance to discuss:

- how he started collecting Hot Wheels

- the fun of Hot Wheels conventions including his MC duties and writing and performing the song "Hot Wheels".

- the state of Hot Wheels collecting today and the challenges of being a collector in Vancouver.

Join hosts Anil Sharma, Josh Whittall, and Rob Williams for a conversation that feels like hanging out with friends who share your shelves of old action figures and dog-eared comics. The Generation X-Wing Podcast operates from a simple, joyful premise: our nostalgia is worth examining, not just revisiting. While rooted firmly in the expansive universe of Star Wars and proudly part of the Star Wars Commonwealth Network, this podcast deliberately wid its lens. Each episode is a deep, often humorous dive into the entire tapestry of pop culture that shaped a generation. You’ll hear passionate discussions dissecting new films and classic TV shows, the thrill of the hunt in toy collecting, and the unique energy of fan conventions. It’s a modern look at a retro lifestyle, where an analysis of a latest blockbuster can effortlessly pivot into a fond remembrance of a Saturday morning cartoon. The charm of this podcast lies in its eclectic range and the hosts’ genuine camaraderie. They don’t just review media; they explore how the comics, movies, and collectibles of the past continue to inform and entertain us today. For anyone who finds equal excitement in a new Star Wars trailer and the discovery of a vintage toy at a flea market, Generation X-Wing offers that perfect blend of thoughtful critique and celebratory fandom. Tune in for a regular dose of insightful, laughter-filled conversation that celebrates where our pop culture obsessions began and where they’re taking us next.
