A Long & Long Time Ago....
Великобритания
Добавлен 24 май 2022
Star Wars Super-fan, Martyn Long, and his cousin, movie nerd Adam Long discuss all things in the Star Wars Universe. They talk old, current and upcoming Star Wars Film, TV and News.
Things progressed in an unexpected way and after a year of doing the channel we turned our attention to collecting 3.75" figures.
Martyn was already a seasoned collector of The Vintage Collection, so turned his attention to picking up the original 96 Kenner figures in graded form, as documented in our Making The Grade playlist.
Adam was new to the toy collecting scene and has since become obsessed with picking up various figures (mainly astromech droids).
Along the way we've been welcomed into the amazing community of collectors, who we get to talk all things nerdy with. Now all we do is podcast, toy hunt in random places and spend most of our evenings on eBay looking for our next epic auction win!

Great Christmas 🎄 gifts 🎁 for both of you!
Great pickups gents! Steph did one hell of a job! A couple of collection goals met, and some really nice surprises. I kind of kick myself for opening that Arc Trooper pack because the packaging was so nice and they re-released all those figures in the main line. Oh well, live and learn. I picked up a few of those Bossk/IG-88/Snot trooper packs back in the day because I put Bossk in quite a few of my displays and I was army building the snowtrooper! That could be why they are so hard to find now. I find it hilarious that Martyn did not have any of the channel merch until now. 😁
She did do a great job thanks Matt 👍👍 So it’s your fault the Bossk packs are so hard to find 🤣🤣 Adam does like to hoard the merch! 😉
Those Chandrila Star Line carded figures are AMAZING.
Many thanks Kieron 👍👍🙏 Really chuffed with the figures mate! Steph did very well 👌
Awesome gifts and picks ups, Adam and Martyn. And another reason to love Stephanie, apart from her Brother's amazing " Stable Collection! " 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 Stable collection 🤣🤣🤣 She is the best!
Excellent video and stunning puck ups. Tough to decide which I would class as my favourite, so I'm not going to, lol. The poster Adam had looked awesome. Did you notice the hidden Mickey? The ALALTA merch is looking pretty tidy, too, lol.
Cheers Stu 👍👍🙏 I did notice the hidden Mickey but not until I was editing it 🤣 Good spot! I still need a pen and a hat from Adam 🤣🤣🤣
The D3-09 is aaaaammmmmaaazzing!
Yeah Steph is the best! ❤
Fab pick ups guys! Martyn what Special packs do you still need?
Cheers Keith mate 👍👍🙏 Just need 5 more to complete the sets 🤦🏻♂️ Then I have completed the whole TVC line (cough except the Mouse Droid 🤣)
Wonderful gifts and pick ups! A great way to end the year! Looking forward for all your content this year
Appreciate you as always Dez! 👍👍🙏
Great Christmas had by you both then it seems 😎 Great vid boys!
Cheers for watching Pal!
Great Christmas gift video. Very nice pick ups... The R2D2's and the 3 pack imperial forces are great additions to your collections... Keep up the great work guys 👍👍...
Many thanks for watching Ricardo 👍👍🙏 Yeah we were very fortunate to get some lovely pieces ❤
Great analysis gentlemen! I really enjoyed these episodes. Episode 5 being the majority of the action and a Episode 6 being the breather/character episode. We finally see KB's "medical condition" and I thought it was well done. I'm about 8.5 for both episodes. Could've done with out the hermit crabs (they ultimately didn't do anything) and Jod's sea shanty, but otherwise really enjoyed it. I'm assuming the return to At Attin will be next week with the kids helping to ready the defense against the pirate attack in typical Goonies/Iron Eagle fashion because they've seen the defenses on At Achron.
Cheers Matt 👍👍🙏 All in all 2 very strong episodes! Look forward to talking again when we reconvene the Jedi Council for the finale review 👍
Another solid review. Enjoyed the character development but these two episodes would have flowed better as one long episode. Still strong though, I just hope the remaining two episodes can resolve all the plot points they’ve been building to.
Here's hoping buddy 🤞 Definately should have been one episode in my opinion. Thanks for watching as always 👍👍🙏
Many thanks for asking me to be apart of your Skeleton Crew series. And being on with Dave was a pleasure (as it always is with you Long guys!) Like I said, I'm looking forward to seeing how this ends in the coming two episodes.
The pleasure is always ours Dez! Thanks for providing your views and insights on the episodes. 👍👍👍 Don't worry mate, I would much rather spend my time with Dave than ours 🤣🤣🤣
Happy new year everyone! I actually enjoyed Episode 6 more than 5- 5 was a little too much Goonies/Last Crusade, although I did really enjoy it. Liked the Miyazaki references (and Dave's catbus- looks like the one my friend bought in Japan about 20 years ago!). I just felt episode 6 had the right balance of character development and wonder which is what I want from Star Wars.
Appreciate you watching 👍👍👍 Episode 6 was definitely my (Martyn) favourite so far too. Happy New Year!
Yeah I agree with Adam, 7/10 for me on the last episode. Great review and chat as always chaps 👍👍
Cheers Keith. Yeah I think in retrospect I over graded episode 6 🤣 Thanks for watching mate 👍👍🙏
21:00 ty for saying this - was thinking that the droids sounded like palpatine in his politician mode
He must be involved somehow! The ultimate puppet master! Appreciate you watching 👍👍🙏
Enjoyable watch, for me episode 6 was weak but that’s just I don’t like stuff when it’s slow and I why they showed conflict between the kids but not sure it was needed. Episode 5 was great. A lot to wrap up in last few episodes with them being so short
Appreciate you watching mate. I liked 6 but then I’m a sentimental old git 🤣🤣
Every house is bigger than a room. But you have to use Jedi mind tricks on your girls first. Yoda.
🤣🤣 I knew I was going wrong somehow. Appreciate you watching 👍👍🙏
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Martyn might've given the show a 10/10, if this video had gone on a little longer?! 🤣
🤣 I regret the 9 score. Should have kept it 8.5 🤣
Happy New Year to Adam, Martyn, Dave Tree, Dez T and their Families.
Happy New Year Kieron 🥳
Some great pickups gentlemen! And I’m with Martyn that you can’t separate the Rebels mural figures in any countdowns, they have to stick together as 1 product, lol. Happy New Year!
Many thanks for watching Brett 👍👍 Yeah Adam is always trying to scupper my lists in one way or another 😂😂 Happy New Year to you buddy 👍
Amazing video guys. Soooo loved this! Can you do a few more please? Maybe one a month? 😜
Cheers bud 👍👍🙏
Another fantastic video guys and some great pickup choices, some favourites of mine in there too. Completely agree about counting The Ghost Crew as one as they are a set, especially for a carded collector. Those figures and cardbacks are just amazing, would have to count The Ghost as my Number 1 of the year. I finally picked up a Kenner Farmboy Luke this year, for a modest price, and he’d be in my top 10 as well I think. Finally getting Jabba and building out that throne room was also another highlight. As you both said interacting with our wonderful community has also been amazing this year, especially meeting people at NEC and Echo in April. I made a few first appearances on RUclips this year which was fun and hope to continue this in 2025 as well as hopefully getting to more toy fairs, Echo and NEC in the Spring are in my diary 😊 Thanks for all the great content and the friendship over the year Adam and Martyn, Happy New Year to you both! 👍😊
Appreciate you watching as always Scott 👍👍🙏 Kenner Farmboy Luke! Very nice. Hopefully we will see you at one of the upcoming toy fairs. Happy new year buddy!
Great top ten pickups guys. mine is coming soon.
Cheers Matt 👍👍 Will be sure to check it out when it’s out mate 😎
Some great lists fellas! What 2024 it was!
Thanks for watching Ron 👍👍🙏 It was a great year of pickups for us both. Here’s to 2025….
I will speak for myself, but I'm quite happy to have you two and Lady Stephanie to join our fold. Y'all are great!
I second that
❤️
Thanks Gforce ❤️ we are honoured to be welcomed into such a great community of people.
Superb pickups lads, great video. Wow how much did you pay that male model to pose with that set ? 🤔
🤣🤣 I think it was someone that Adam just found outside the toy fair mate 🤣 Appreciate you watching as always bud 👍👍🙏
Great lists gents! Definitely love both #1s. That bounty hunter pack is one of my favorites and the homage to the vintage figures in style and the names is something I absolutely love! If you're going to break a "rule" for your collection the Starspeeder 3000 is an excellent excuse. I would also keep the Ghost around...it's a fantastic vehicle! Of course one of the best highlights was meeting up with you and Stephanie, Martyn...hope to someday meet Adam and his family! Looking forward to even more fun in the new year!
Many thanks Matt 👍👍🙏 Absolutely looking forward to catching up again in April next year buddy 👍
Great list! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Thanks General Lak 🙏 Happy new year to you and yours my friend ❤️
Always a great time looking back at the pick ups from the year. So many cool items added to both of your collections. It's very challenging to narrow it down, but you guys did a great job doing so. Having watched all your pickup episodes throughout the year, I was certainly interested to see what would make the top 10. Solid top 10's without a doubt. Wishing you both a very prosperous, healthy, and Happy New Year's. Can't wait to see what next year's hunting brings to your collections.
Thanks for your support over the past year buddy and we both wish you and the family a happy new year! 🥳 We start recording our second season of ‘For the love of Star Wars’ in March so hopefully we can get you on for an episode mate 🤞
Awesome pickups lads.
Cheers Craig! 👍👍🙏 You helped Adam get his holy grail! Have a great new year mate.
Excellent choices, been a good year for Star Wars collecting!
Appreciate you watching buddy 👍👍🙏 It's been a great year and here's to hopefully another good year ahead! Happy New year to you 👍
Some decent pickups for you both, 👌
Thanks for checking it out Terry! 👍👍🙏 It's definitely been a good year. Happy New Year to you my friend! 👍
@@alongandlongtimeago Happy new year to you too my friend, looking forward to catching up in the new year 👍
Also Id like to add a big thank you to both yourself and Stephanie for getting Jace those Funko Pops so kind of you 👍
Great 2024 review and top pick ups video, Adam and Martyn. Even I can appreciate how rare some Star Wars figures / items are, so I was very impressed by your pick ups. Fingers crossed, both of you can find more grail items in 2025.
Much appreciated Kieron! Hope you have a great New Year my friend!
Nice one boys……. Isn’t this just a clip show featuring all of last year’s greatest hits? 😂😂😂😂
We didn't have much of a budget for this episode mate! 🤣 Thanks as always ol buddy!
Great video guys, top pick ups from both of you. It was great seeing you both this year. (The best thing about this collecting thing, is definitely the community). Looking forward for next year and all that it brings!
Thanks Dez! 👍👍🙏 Looks like you had a great time today at NEC! Cant wait to finally go next year. 100% right, the best part about all of this stuff is the community of people!
Nice items lads happy hunting for 2025
Merry Christmas Justin! Thanks for watching mate 👍👍🙏 Speak soon!
I feel that this episode is basically setting the stage for the rest of the series, it added a few more bits and puzzle pieces to the mystery that's ongoing and had some character development as well. Maybe not as amazing as some of the previous episodes but still a good one in my opinion. Looking forward to today's episode (12/24) and catching your two episode review next week. Have an awesome holiday gentleman and catch you again soon.
Oof! Episode 3 taking a beating by today's guests.... But I do agree, when you look at the show from your childhood point of view / a kids point of view, I think it is better (as that's the general audience that it's aimed for). As an adult, I'm still enjoying it, but I can tell that I'm not the target audience, which is completely fine. I think we all know that the folks at Disney looked at many of the properties that were popular with kids from our childhood years and tried to mesh them together into something for Star Wars fans new and old to enjoy. And so far, kudos to them for hitting a lot of those notes well without being right on the nose. I'm really fascinated with Martyn's theories as well in regards to the planet and the Sith and using it to finance the return of the Emperor and his monster fleet that we see at in TROS. 🤔 And yeah, I can see where one might feel the Owl character kind of takes you out of it a bit, but at the same time I think kids probably love that character & I didn't mind personally. But she is a little bit Harry Potter-esque, that's a fair point. I sure hope that Crimson Jack is not in any way Jedi or ever part of the order, but just has some for sensitivity. That to me makes more sense, as in this galaxy anyone can have force sensitivity. Somebody with a little bit of force sensitivity would make for a great pirate or con man, which is how I think this one is playing out. As for the discussion of "What is Star Wars" and is "X" content Star Wars or not Star Wars, I think that depends on the person watching. I hate to be a gatekeeper for SW in general, but I can appreciate that people have different feelings on what they feel Star Wars should be. I know I have feelings about that as I would prefer to see things closer to George Lucas Star Wars, but there are bits of content out there that GL wouldn't have put out, like Andor, that I actually love & adore. But if Star Wars is for everybody, then there should be Star Wars content aimed for different types of fans. At our age, having seen so many films and having spent so much time breaking them down, it's hard not to watch new content without comparing it two things we've already watched. Every once in a while they'll be something new that really stands out, but a lot of the things that we (our generation) find most entertaining and enjoyable have some sort of nostalgia back to things from our past, at least that's how I feel from my perspective. Definitely some difference of opinion for this episode in your reviews, but I applaud you guys for trying to keep it on the rails as it's easy to get sidetracked with things we've been discussing for years in regards to the franchise. Looking forward to watching your episode 4 review soon & seeing where this show goes with the remaining episodes.
Blind box opening is a lot of fun! Lol. The tension, the drama Lol how exciting! Good time fellas.

Great fun watching this guys. Always fun watching someone struggle with packaging 🤣😂Love the idea of the mystery droid. Wish they would sell these via Disney Store. The astromechs are all really nice, but like you guys not very interested in BB droids, although the olive/brown one is quite cool.
