Star Wars fans are everywhere! Star Wars fans go everywhere! RFR V.I.P Cris "Turtle Wars" Hagen is an expert when it comes to reptiles and turtles - He's like RFR's own Crocodile Hunter. Cris has been on the road, meeting up with fellow RFR V.I.P.s and celebs like Daniel Logan, checking out Star Wars museum exhibits, conventions, and even steampunk-like Star Wars statues made from steel. Cris takes us along for his treks and shares some collectibles he picked up on the way. And, don't miss the special guest appearance at the end of the show!

After hearing Cris say this, I think we all need his mantra on a tie dye t-shirt : Living the Turtle Wars Life • Real turtles. • Real music. • All Star Wars, all the time. 🤟

Ive only just realised how much turtle wars sounds like laurence kasdan! Awesome episode by the way! 👍🏻👍🏻

What a fun discussion and glad we had the chance to hang with Cris twice in 2024. Drink beers and save turtles was a great event. You bought my absolute favorite toy/play-set from the original Kenner line. The freaking Death Star!!!! Jim, you are correct, I did have stuff disappear and will give the whole story the next time I do a Q and A. I love hearing and seeing all of the adventures Cris has been on in 2024. Thanks to the special guest I actually went back and watched some of the video too. I love how Cris didn't even react when the crocodile tried to bite him. I would've lost it... Some day we will make a road trip from Boston to Key West. Stop and join Scott & BARFF for an after show, grab a beer with Matt R, swing by Philly to chill with Peter and Meg, hit up Cris in South Carolina and finish catching one of Joe's shows in Key West. Epic!!!

Yay, Turtle Wars! Your Star Wars collection is top notch! I would like to attend a retro toy convention in the future. Thank you for sharing your passion with the RFR community and the VIP’s…you’re the best! 🍻🐢🍻🐊

Matt Rashid

Great show from a true gent! Thanks, Chris!

GaryK from England

Great episode! I really enjoyed seeing those vintage Star Wars play-sets, as several of them were never available in the UK or were very hard to find in those pre-internet original days! Thanks Cris and Jimmy!

Curtis in Omaha

Excellent episode. I'd love to complete my Power of the Force collection, so if there are still any pieces you're trying to move, let me know. No crocs, please.

Turtle Wars

Thanks Curtis! You are looking for POTF 2 figures, the ones on the green cards? If so I’d be happy to send you a list of what I have. The crocs are my babies and quite difficult to obtain in general, so no worries, they aren’t going anywhere as long as I’m alive and able-bodied.

Curtis in Omaha

And I wish to stay alive and able-bodied, so as the pirates would say: "We have an accord." Yeah, I was buying all the green-carded figures through junior high and high school when they were coming out. Just whatever I could find on pegs, so I know I'm missing some. And it doesn't matter if they're carded or loose, because I'll just take them out of the box and put them in the tub with my other figures, more than likely. Also, my sincere condolences on the passing of your friend and colleague in September. Sounds like the family was blessed to have you help in the aftermath.

Turtle Wars

Send me an email at my public address chagen@turtlesurvival.org and I can send you a list of what I have.

Brill listen I always smile when I get any Bloomberg alerts on my phone which read “trade wars” … my brain somehow always sees “turtle wars!”

Just finished listening to this episode, albeit a few weeks late! Thanks for the mention, Chris!
