Episode 45 - Welcome!

This week, Jason and Josh are joined by not only the GM of IGN.com and the co-host of NVC, but ... REACTION GUY #4 HIMSELF ... Peer Schneider! They talk about how easily a picture can go viral, the current state of our collections, the plight of amiibo over this last year, how LEGO Dimensions is changing the game, why buying bigger houses is a better option than simply not collecting anymore, and why Mega Yarn Yoshi might not make into the household of the GM.

The discussion with Peer was fantastic from so many different angles and perspectives. Be sure to check out his baby, IGN.com, and listen to him every week on the Nintendo Voice Chat podcast!

In the news part of the show, Jason and Josh break down the secret release of a new Disney Infinity starter pack, discuss the new Skylanders animated series, debate whether or not LEGO Dimensions will really talk about the big secrets soon, and the breaking - and somewhat disheartening news - of a retail exclusive amiibo being released on … BLACK FRIDAY.

The #CommunityQuestion polls the fans on whether or not they are getting the Animal Crossing amiibo this Friday, and why or why not. The Inquire THIS! trivia segment is throwback to the early days of amiibo. Does Jason remember the easier days of amiibo or does he get stumped?

Also, some more great emails from the community, as always. Thank you all for the love and support! Happy hunting, collectors!
