Four of the five ToyBoyz gather in person for their first live recording, a year after they were “just joking” about doing a podcast at the Star Trek Las Vegas Convention. They share thoughts on the vendor’s room, panels at the con, a shared love of the D, and new preferences for size. Check our socials for bonus content: vendor’s room walkthrough at STLV!

Chris reports back from San Diego Comic-Con with highs (and lows) of exclusive reveals. The ToyBoyz reveal their preferences for open-box display versus in-box versus…boxes of empty boxes. They each show off some of their prized new and old possessions, including Eric’s classic LEGO space set that resulted from a brush with a ransom for his life.

Eric and Chad admit they *may* have gone overboard with pre-orders. Chris wades into the controversial territory of Sideshow dropping out of San Diego Comic-Con. Jared’s show-and-tell is a reminder of what happens when toy companies jump the gun on production.

The ToyBoyz weigh in on the resurgence of toys from 80’s and 90’s animated series, thanks in large part to Brian Volk-Weiss and the @nacellecompany. Chris and Avery get in a fight over which Exosquad character flies a plane. Eric goes to great lengths to address issues with the HasLab (@hasbropulse) Skystriker.

The ToyBoyz discuss the news that $30 million in Funko Pops were dumped in a landfill. Chad, Chris, and Eric debate how best to display a toy collection, even if that means plotting a takeover of your child’s room after they move out. Avery shares some toy investment strategies, as well as the reality of toy collecting while stationed overseas.
