Podtacular 645: The Legendary Collectors

During Pax West 2018, we sat down with the legendary collector couple TheLegendary117 and MrsLegendary117 to talk about why they are such avid collectors of Halo gear and what it takes to keep up with their endless hunt for the rarest of items. Both of them have been fans of the franchise for years and have been a part of the community in various ways by promoting the work of others, hosting local LAN parties, helping out other collectors, and being active members in other parts of the greater community. Perhaps they’ll have their own version of the Halo Museum to showcase their items along with community created content.
