Toys For Games 'Cast - Collecting, playing with, and discussing toys-to-life

It's the dog days of summer, but the heat can't slow us down on a Friday night full of madness and hilarity. We chat about discontinued fast food items, Santa being booed off the field, overpriced Olympic t-shirts, and an unforgettable and incredibly awkward Periscope from one of the members in our community! Don't worry, toys fans, we eventually get down to brass tacks and talk about your favorite franchises as well.

Starting off, we have our now weekly Pokemon GO update, before jumping in to talk about the recently released amiibo display stands. Then we glide over to Skylanders to break down the nine new figures unofficially announced and some hilarious rumors from Sweden. We break down the Disney Infinity online server shutdown timeline, which is as big of a mess as you would expect it to be. Finally, we talk all about the news that came from San Diego Comic Con regarding LEGO Dimensions, including Sonic and Wave 7.

The #CommunityQuestion was a tad more emotional than anticipated, and we picked another winner for the Response of the Week. The Inquire This! segment put the expert to the test about Skylanders Battlecast. And finally, we had plenty of great emails from the community. All this and more on Episode 83 of the Toys For Games 'Cast!

Slow news week? Not in the world of toys-to-life, especially in the week leading up to San Diego Comic Con! Waiting a day to record proved to be the right decision, as news continued to trickle in right up until we hit the record button - and even some while in the middle of show. If there's one thing we're good at, it's accidently having the perfect timing.

We start out talking about some more of the Premium figures that might have been coming to Disney Infinity, as well as the new "Kingdoms" story mode that would have been in 4.0. Then we chat about Nintendo being unpredictable by adding amiibo functionality to a four-year-old game. We break down the massive four-figure leak of Skylanders Imaginators and the secret Battlecast cards found in cereal. Finally, we blow the lid off of all the recent news regarding LEGO Dimensions that's coming in BEFORE the Comic Con panel.

The #CommunityQuestion was amplified thanks to Greg Miller, and we picked another winner for the Response of the Week. The Inquire This! segment put the expert to the test about older amiibo. And finally, we had plenty of great emails from the community. All this and more on Episode 82 of the Toys For Games 'Cast!

Even in the middle of summer, when the news isn't coming in hot and heavy, we still manage to piece together one heck of a show. Thanks in part to some big reveals of more stuff that would have been coming to Disney Infinity, coupled with some Pokemon GO talk and other tomfoolery, Episode 81 turned into an instant classic. Be our guest, won't you?

We started by talking about a LEGO Dimensions panel at SDCC hosted by Greg Miller, the newest amiibo release, Hood Sickle being sorta revealed by Skylanders, and of course, another healthy discussion about Disney Infinity. We talked about the most recent Premium figures reveals, as well as a ton of information about what else would have been coming to Disney Infinity in the upcoming year and for 4.0 later on down the road.

The #CommunityQuestion was as fun as always, and we picked another winner for the Response of the Week. We didn't have an Inquire This! question this week, but we did have plenty of great emails from the community. All this and more on Episode 81 of the Toys For Games 'Cast!

Episode 80 was a long time in the making, but after everything that has happened with Disney Infinity the last couple of months, now was the time to finally have an in-depth conversation with some special guests. Joining us on the podcast for a great Disney Infinity, we had Lloyd (@dasme) and Will (@iliam) from DisneyInfinity.tv, as well as @Infiniteering from Twitter and YouTube, or "Jim" as we came to know him. We discussed the cancellation of Disney Infinity, all the recently revealed figures that were coming next for the game, and so much more. We also made our guests stick around for emails and the #CommunityQuestion!

After saying goodbye to our three special guests, we got down to the news from our favorite four franchises, talking about the Premium Jack Skellington figure we'll never get, confusing wording regarding Teen Titans Go! in LEGO Dimensions, alleged Skylanders prototypes, and some upcoming amiibo releases.

We wrapped up the show with a challenging Inquire This! trivia question that was sent in on a handwritten note, because how else would someone submit an Inquire This! challenge, right? All this and more on Episode 80 of the Toys For Games 'Cast!

And remember: "Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting."

After an incredibly busy week for both co-hosts, we finally settled on recording a Saturday morning podcast, because well, why not? To kick off this holiday weekend, we brought on a special guest to help explain the newest addition to the Toys For Games network - Sebastian Fortin, from Gotta Watch'em All! Sebastian breaks down what to expect from the podcast him and Ken have started to chronicle every episode of the Pokemon anime, along with everything else they have planned for this new branch of Toys For Games.

Oh, and there is a live unwrapping of a pack of Pokemon cards with an incredible find in it!

When we eventually get down to talking about the news from the toys-to-life franchises, we discuss the accidental leaks of never-before-seen LEGO Dimensions figures, a blurry image of a possible new Skylanders Sensei via Snapchat, the upcoming release of new Splatoon amiibo, and more reveals of figures and play sets that were on their way to Disney Infinity.

We still had a fun #CommunityQuestion, despite not getting it up until an hour before recording. There was also a very challenging Inquire This! trivia question. And of course, we also answered a bunch of great emails, as always, from the Best Community Ever. All this and more on Episode 79 of the Toys For Games 'Cast!
