Episode 85 - Bolting Out of Gamescom

With all due respect to the fastest man on Earth, Usain Bolt, it was off to races for news from the toys-to-life franchises over in Gamescom. With the impending release of Year 2 for LEGO Dimensions, Skylanders Imaginators, and eventual new waves of amiibo, it’s no wonder that news is starting to come in hot and heavy about all of our favorite franchises.   Before we get started, however, we had to talk all about Hamilton, and how everyone should at least give it a listen. After that, we checked in on Pokemon GO, despite the #PidgeyGate debacle. Eventually getting into the news, we saluted the farewell episode of Disney Infinity TV, which took place on the anniversary of the release of Disney Infinity 1.0. Then we talked about some curious amiibo + 3DS game bundles, and speculated what the inclusion of the amiibo reader might be about. We broke down the controversy surrounding the exclusive release of Supergirl in LEGO Dimensions. And finally, we did our best to cover the news overload about Skylanders Imaginators that came from Gamescom.   The #CommunityQuestion covered funny catchphrases, and we picked another winner for the Response of the Week. The Inquire This! segment was a solid B, even for the hot dog expert.  And finally, we had plenty of great emails from the community. All this and more on Episode 85 of the Toys For Games ‘Cast!
