- 12/14 6:30PMStar Wars- Gus Lopez"Gus Lopez's out-of-this-world, Star Wars collection includes Han Solo's screen-used jacket, C-3PO's body parts, and the screen-used DEATH STAR!

- 12/21 6:30PMNeil La Sala- G.I. Joe"Former Marine Corps Reservist Neil LaSala may have retired from duty, but his devotion to the armed forces continues in his expansive collection of the original, 12-inch G.I. Joe action figure. Neil’s home is a virtual museum of the iconic toy’s early years and rare interim incarnations, and he shares with Lisa some of his most desirable items, including an African American soldier, Joe as a State Trooper complete with motorcycle and accessories, and a complete (and pristine!) run of the super-rare Photobox series. Joining Lisa is Collector’s Call favorite Joel Magee a.k.a “America’s Toy Scout.” Joel appraises Neil’s meticulously curated collection, then offers him a trade for something he ends up already owning, but with an unexpected, Joel Magee twist. And when Lisa learns it's also Neil's birthday, she rises to the occasion with a final, G.I. Joe-themed surprise."
- 12/28 6:30PMBetty Boop- Janet Ellis"Janet Ellis first met and bonded with her husband Len over her collection of Betty Boop memorabilia. Now Len is Janet’s co-collector and a Betty Boop expert in his own right – in fact, he literally wrote the book on Betty collectibles. Lisa joins the couple in the shrine to the classic cartoon character they've built in their home. They share with us such 1930s rarities as an unlicensed bowl featuring both Betty and Mickey Mouse, and a gorgeously preserved wooden figure that is the very first Betty Boop doll. Also on hand is toy treasure hunter Joel Magee, who sets a value on Janet and Len’s entire collection – then tries to lure them into a trade for a beautiful one-of-a-kind modern Betty Boop item. And if that doesn’t have Janet and Len’s head spinning, there’s also a video greeting from the family of Betty Boop’s legendary creator, Max Fleisher."
