The dynamic duo talk about Skylanders rumors, what the launch of Lego Dimensions will look like, the current state of amiibo, and of course, the HUGE Disney Infinity 3.0 "news".

Josh does his best as a one man show, with the hard working Jason #1 needing a much deserved night off. Josh talks about the relative lack of news from all four franchises, while also answering some listener email and discussing the Twitter #CommunityQuestion. Oh, and he makes a couple of calls of a couple of long-time listeners, and walks away with some awesome discussions. 

Apr 10, 2015

Josh and Jason #1 are back, and this week, they have a special guest ... JASON #2! You may know him as amiibo Jason, or @amiibonews, but we know him simply as "friend". While we talk about the ever elusive and always mysterious amiibo, we dive right in to the first thing to make Jason #2 excited that wasn't Nintendo since ... well, maybe the first time ever? Of course it's all about the official announcement of LEGO Dimensions, and all the news, speculation and predictions for the fourth franchise to officially be covered by the Toys For Games Cast. 

 

We also tackle the Twitter #CommunityQuestion, and read some entertaining and thoughtful emails. Enjoy, fellow collectors out there!

 

(Special thanks to @sha_near for the music used for this podcast. I should have thanked him a while ago for it, but regardless, this podcast is better because of his work.)
