Tonight, we're diving deep into a topic that has every collector's wallet sweating: TOY REISSUES! Are they a blessing for new collectors looking to fill holes in their display, or are they killing the secondary market for long-time fans?The guys break down how companies like #Hasbro are constantly re-releasing figures—sometimes even on the exact same card—and what that does to the value of rare figures (RIP those $2,000 Ahsoka figures).In this episode, we talk about:• The #MarvelLegends Retro line re-release of #Kingpin, #Rhino, and #CaptainAmerica.• The true meaning of a "reissue" vs. a "re-imagining" (looking at you, #JurassicPark Hammond Collection).• Why big toy companies are leaning on nostalgia and re-molds instead of making new lines for modern movies.• The future of the toy world, including the rise of K-pop, #Labubu, and the unstoppable, eternal power of #HotWheels.• The painful truth that kids don't really play with action figures anymore.• We want to know what YOU think! Is a reissue an automatic PASS or an instant BUY for your collection? Which re-release made you mad? Let us know in the comments below! 👇Thanks for tuning in!
