Episode 57 seemed like it would be bleak on the news front beforehand, but like always, we managed to squeeze blood from the turnip like only we can! On top of the normal news cycle that we always cover, Jason was finally allowed to commit one of the biggest sins of the show - talk numbers!
For the four franchises, we break down D-Day for Skylanders coming up on March 1, Disney Infinity clearly listening to our podcast, amiibo popularity around the world, and what the reveal of LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens video game means for LEGO Dimensions. Also, a full breakdown of sales and number crunching for the toys-to-life genre.
We also discuss the #CommunityQuestion, play another round of “Inquire This!” and answer some emails from the community.
Don’t forget … #JasonWasWrong and #PreschoolToys
