Episode 30: “Ross Con Rebellion” finds Chizzle and the Millennium Fallen diving headfirst into the strange, frustrating, and sometimes hilarious world of Star Wars figure hunting at discount retailers. From surprise Vintage Collection and Black Series finds to collectors stumbling across figures they never saw at full retail, the hosts break down how Ross Dress for Less and similar stores became an unexpected hotspot for Star Wars collectors — and why the phenomenon has earned the nickname “RossCon.”

The conversation pulls back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes workings of retail distribution, explaining how unsold, canceled, or redirected inventory can end up in off-price stores long after collectors gave up hope. Chizzle and Fallen also tackle the topic of retail arbitrage, exploring how some collectors score deals for their own shelves while others flip discounted figures for profit, fueling both excitement and resentment within the hobby.

Rounding out the episode is a candid discussion about Hasbro’s handling of The Vintage Collection, the ongoing frustrations with availability at major retailers, and the feeling of “TVC denial” many collectors experience when figures seem to vanish at full price only to resurface later at a discount. With plenty of humor, collector empathy, and a few well-placed rants, “Ross Con Rebellion” captures the chaos of modern Star Wars collecting — where the Force may be strong, but the clearance aisle is stronger.

I’ve Got a Bad Feeling About This is back, and Chizzle and Fallen are closing out the year the only way they know how—by taking a hard look at Star Wars figures that actually hit shelves… and the ones that somehow never did. From baffling omissions to head-scratching exclusives, they break down the biggest wins, misses, and “how did this not get made?” moments from the collecting world.

But it doesn’t stop at plastic. The guys also recap the Star Wars shows we got over the past year, diving into what worked, what didn’t, and which series left fans arguing long after the credits rolled. Whether it’s questionable writing choices, uneven pacing, or characters that never quite landed, nothing is off-limits as they vent about the worst aspects of the year in Star Wars TV.

It’s an honest, no-holds-barred discussion fueled by fandom, frustration, and a love for the galaxy far, far away—even when it lets us down. If you collect, watch, or just like complaining about Star Wars with people who get it, this episode is for you. 🎙️✨

Cancelled Star Wars projects from George Lucas's television series "Underworld" to more recently, "The Search for Ben Solo". Also, Fallen finds a great clearance deal on some clone troopers that everyone wants a piece of.
