Brews and Blasters: The Star Wars Party

You've heard the rest, now hear the podcast that talks about throwing chairs because we're so psyched to see The Rise of Skywalker! On this episode, we go frame by frame to uncover things in the Rise of Skywalker final trailer that NO ONE has noticed! Come along for the ride with us and discover the weird, the wild, and the theory that's hiding in plain sight. The Star Wars party starts now! It's time for Brews and Blasters.

This is it: the epic NeedEm GotEm conclusion to four years of Triple Force Friday merchandise rollouts. Join us to open up a massive amount of Black Series and Vintage Collection figures, and maybe learn a thing or two along the way.

In part one, we discussed the harrowing tales of trying to find the action figures. But one thing is true: these figures are amazing! Let's open up some figs and appreciate Hasbro at the top of their game creating collectibles for the collector's market. The Star Wars Party starts NOW! It's time for Brews and Blasters.
