Episode 93 - As the Crow Flies

Well, we made it through another big launch day for the toys-to-life genre, as did many in our great community. That’s right, because as straight as the crow flies, Skylanders Imaginators came straight at us, and overall, it was a pretty fun release overall. Because of that, we had to bring back a world-renown Skylanders expert to help us break it all down, as well talk Harry Potter, crazy fundraising ideas, and sub-par Western themed video games. That’s right, it’s the return of fan favorite, Matt Sonnenberg from SkylandersCharactetList.com!   First, we check in on the Kickstarter campaign for Lightseekers, as they reach the halfway point in days but are more than halfway to their monetary goal. We discuss the amiibo restocking, as well as a new bluetooth NFC reading device which we speculate will bring amiibo support to the NX and possibly even smart phones and devices. We also chat about a newly released screenshot of Sonic the Hedgehog and friends in LEGO Dimensions, and also the newly released LEGO Harry Potter Collection remastered for the PS4.   Finally, we break down the entire launch and release of Skylanders Imaginators. We tell our stories about hunting down everything (or most everything) that released, give some impressions about the game and the figures so far, and yes, even talk about the now infamous GameStop Girl. Long story short, so far so good with Imaginators … and we couldn’t be happier!   From there, we read the #CommunityQuestion and awarded a listener a cool prize for having the Response of the Week. We then try to stump the experts with the Inquire This! trivia question, which might have been the hardest and most surprising question to date. Finally, we wrapped up the show with some fantastic emails, as always!   All this, and more, only in Episode 93! Executive Producers: Jorge Torres!
