Josh and Jason #1 are back with another episode of the Toys For Games 'Cast. They make the most of this slow news week, as they talk about the rumors and speculation regarding amiibo in a possible Nintendo Direct, they run down the latest non-news of Skylanders, and of course, talk about the proverbial door still slowly closing on Disney Infinity 2.0. They also go to Twitter for the Community Question, and as always, read and answer your emails and questions!

Josh, Jason and Dan are ready to talk about collecting things NOT involving the normal Toys-to-Life franchises. This time, they jump head first into a pit of Tsum Tsums, chat about video game collector edition statues and robots, break down the most recent Loot Crate and answer a great question from the community.

Josh, Jason and Dan are back to talk about everything going on in the world of Toys-To-Life figures, and the trials, tribulations and moments of zen collecting them. They talk about the Wave 4 and Easter releases of Skylanders, the end of the road for Disney Infinity 2.0, LEGO Dimensions (MAYBE???), and of course, amiibo. They also review an app, dive in to the Community Question from Twitter and read some more awesome emails.

Episode 9 - LEGO Inq

Regular co-hosts Josh and Jason are joined by a new, third member of the podcast, who oddly enough doesn't have a first name that starts with a "J". His name is Dan, and is ready to be a strong addition to the Toys For Games Cast ... but unfortunately, the Skype gremlins got the best of our dear Dan. In the meantime, the crew talk about the impending release of Skylanders Spring and Wave 4 characters, the amiibo wait-and-see game, a potential fourth franchise jumping into the game genre (LEGO), and Jason's overwhelming excitement about Disney Infinity news. Also, more Community Question responses via Twitter, some awesome emails and all the normal debauchery that hits your ears every week.

Collector's Edition vol. 1

Josh and Jason have a very special edition of the Toys For Games Cast! This is the official Collector's Edition of the podcast, where they talk about a bunch of the random things they collect that DON'T have anything to do with Skylanders, Disney Infinity or amiibo. Do you collect Funko vinyl Pop! figures? What about Tsum Tsums? Possibly Hot Wheels? Well, if you have that collector's gene, this special edition is for you!

Episode 7 - No Bunny For You

Josh is back with another episode of the Toys For Games Cast, but without his partner-in-crime and regular co-host, Jason #1. Instead of forcing 2 hours of nothing but Josh on the listeners, he reached out to friend Joe STATE to help him through the podcast. They talk about a cool Disney Infinity sale, Skylanders catching amiiboitis, and the always changing state of amiibo supply and demand. The duo also dive into the Community Question and read a bunch of fun emails from the great community.
