The dynamic duo is reunited once again, as Josh gladly welcomes Jason back onto the podcast from his Disneyland adventure. The two jump right into it, briefly talking about Jason's trip and all the amazing people he met and hung out with while down in Anaheim, and then also discuss their involvement with an amiibo auction/raffle being held by TakeThis.org at PAX Prime next weekend. 
 
When they get to the four toys-to-life franchises, they break down the apparent retail exclusive for LEGO Dimensions, the insanity of Skylander SuperChargers starter packs, amiibo restocks, and everything announced for Disney Infinity 3.0 at D23, which Jason experienced first hand. 
 
As always, they talk about the #CommunityQuestion, and then read and answer some great email questions from the community.

THE END...?

Episode 127 might still be hungover from the Thanksgiving holiday, but we're back with a roundup of all the news from the toys-to-life genre since our last show!    First we start with our normal banter, and do some VERY SPOILERY movie reviews. Eventually we get to the meat and potatoes of the show, starting off with the reincarnation of the Disney Infinity art style. We then cover Skylanders franchise news, before putting an official end to LEGO Dimensions. Finally, we break down the latest in amiibo, including the most anticipated cereal to date!   In the back half of the episode, we read through all the tweets for the #CommunityQuestion, and pick a winner for the #ResponseOfTheWeek giveaway.

Episode 127 - Breakfast of Champions

Episode 126 is an episode we never wanted to do, but we've seen coming for quite some time. Unfortunately, the cancellation of LEGO Dimensions is all but a formality now, despite the formal announcement probably never happening.    First we start with our normal banter, to lighten the mood a bit. Then we get right into breaking down the most recent story of LEGO Dimensions being killed off quietly without any fanfare - just as we have been predicting for months now. We wrap up the news with all the upcoming amiibo releases, such as Fire Emblem, Super Mario Odyssey, and Zelda: Breath of the Wild figures!   In the back half of the episode, we read through all the tweets for the #CommunityQuestion, and pick a winner for the #ResponseOfTheWeek giveaway. Finally, we wrap up with emails from the great folks in the community, doing our best to answer all questions thrown our way!   All this and more on Episode 126 of the Toys For Games ‘Cast!   Our Sponsors:  SHOW SPONSOR - Devin Laschinski (YouTube: Macing On Gaming) Micheal O'Driscoll (@amiibo_Museum) Evan, TheLoneGoldfish (@TheLoneGoldfish).

Episode 125 is delivered as promised, with Jason rejoining the show after a trip to the fair. Last week we may have only talked Pokemon, but we're back to business this week, covering the latest news from the toys-to-life franchises!   First we talk about the exciting news from the Skylanders, with the release of the last Imaginators figure. Then we cover the Wave 9 release from LEGO Dimensions. And finally, we talk about upcoming amiibo and amiibo support in games, as well as the SNES classic.    In the back half of the episode, we read through all the tweets for the #CommunityQuestion, and pick a winner for the #ResponseOfTheWeek giveaway.

Episode 125 - The Changing Landscape

Episode 124 is a very special episode, as we toss all of the toys-to-life news aside and get down to the really important issues and topics ... Pokemon! That's right, this show is all about Pokemon this week! Better yet, we are joined by two of the best in the business, Ken and Adam from the Gotta Watch'em All podcast!   For a majority of the episode, we talk about all the highs and lows of Pokemon GO, which is still going strong. We also touch upon Pokemon Rumble U, and Pokken Tournament DX as well.    In the back half of the episode, we read through all the tweets for the #CommunityQuestion, and pick a winner for the #ResponseOfTheWeek giveaway.
