    I saw a Deathstar Space Station in the background.

      That Death Star is worth more than the C-3PO puzzle they bought for $15. One of them is a toy collector too - I guess they missed that one

          I thought that was a model not a puzzle?

            agreed, they're more into vintage tin toys and stuff

              Frank is there solely for the show. I don't even think he's an actual "picker" and I am 98% sure he wasn't before the show. He has nothing to do with Mike Wolfe's shop. He was added to the show at the request of History or whatever channel it's on.

              I also read that there is actually some bad blood between the two and that they rarely associate with each other when the camera is off.

                That was a C-3PO model - it was a slip because I just bought a SW puzzle for my son! I had that C-3PO model and it is probably worth about $15. I had paid $150 for the Death Star when I was collecting SW (and that was pretty cheap).

                  Does anyone know what season and episode they found the Micronauts set?

                    That's odd because they always promote on the show that they've grown up together since grade school and I think they have even shown pictures of them together as kids. Doesn't mean they still hang out though.

                    I do know that DANIELLE is not part of the shop and was added at the request of the network to make it look like the shop has an actual employee. She's a friend of Mike's but she has her own businesses and doesn't really "run the shop".

                      Not sure what season or episode number it was but since I posted it as soon as it aired,I'd go with September 12,2011.

                        I only watched it a couple times. I thought both were annoying as could be.

                          Ok thanks. I thought maybe you'd seen it on Roku or OnDemad and would have had an idea on season and episode number.

                              Yeah same with that new girl they hired on pawn stars. You know that she is there cause the network wanted a woman on the show. She is adorable but a little heavy on the ink, great smile though. As soon as they showed her in the pre hire interviews i knew she was going to be the one they picked.
