Join Jay (Geek. Dad. Life.) and Dan (Secret Galaxy) along with special guest Jake Stevens (From 4-LOM to Zuckuss) as they breakdown the LAST 2 years of Power of the Force figures. The overabundance of previously released POFT2 and The Phantom Menace figures meant that the last few figures in Power of the Force 2 were hard to find.
