Those Old Fossils are back for their first episode of 2026 to talk more vintage Star Wars collectables. In this show we are taking look at the AT-AT driver and his vehicle- the mighty All-Terrain Armoured-Transport.

The full team are joined by AT-AT Driver focus collector Martin Woodgate for the duration of the show and he shares his knowledge and valuable information about the figure through out.

Mark Andrews from Variant Villains also drops in to provide some variant insights on the figure as only he can.

It’s bumper episode fitting for this pair of titans from the vintage Star Wars line.

That’s a Wrap!

In a quick ice breaker, Dan, Peter and Stu excitedly sell their ideas of the perfect Star Wars New Year’s Eve Party to Jez. One of them harps on about Twi’leks, one needs some naughty chemicals to assist with a rave at Mon Mothma’s and Dan wants to spend New Year’s at Canto Bight from the Last Jedi! Then in this end of year special the lads take a look back at the Star Wars highlights of 2025, covering events, Disney+ shows, some collecting high points and their favourite podcast episodes of the 35 that have been produced! This section is a cracking taster menu of the best of 2025. They’ll also be briefly looking towards 2026 and making a few podcast promises. Peter promises a new series of shows, Jez promises a new series of shows, Dan promises to continue with the awesome Those Old Fossils and Stu briefly quits, then promises a new series of shows! You won’t want to miss this light hearted reflection of 365 days worth of Star Wars fandom. The boys have been busy!!

In this special episode of The Modern Way, the hosts travel back ten years to the launch of The Force Awakens - not through box office numbers or plot twist, but through the toys that defined a new era of Star Wars fandom.

From midnight Force Friday hauls to shelves packed with Rey, Kylo Ren, BB-8, and Stormtroopers in fresh white armor, this toy special explores how The Force Awakens reignited the magic of collecting for longtime fans and a whole new generation of kids.

A decade later, generation Skywalker asks what those toys meant then, how they've aged now, and what they reveal about nostalgia, hype and the legacy of Star Wars. Whether you were tearing open the blister packs in 2015 and enjoying the pack in accessories, or discovering these figures years later, this episode is a reflection on this line - ten years on. And just how good the line is, is not lost on the team...

...will Jez make a TFA purchase????

Enjoy the show.
