Tonight, we're diving deep into a topic that has every collector's wallet sweating: TOY REISSUES! Are they a blessing for new collectors looking to fill holes in their display, or are they killing the secondary market for long-time fans?The guys break down how companies like #Hasbro are constantly re-releasing figures—sometimes even on the exact same card—and what that does to the value of rare figures (RIP those $2,000 Ahsoka figures).In this episode, we talk about:• The #MarvelLegends Retro line re-release of #Kingpin, #Rhino, and #CaptainAmerica.• The true meaning of a "reissue" vs. a "re-imagining" (looking at you, #JurassicPark Hammond Collection).• Why big toy companies are leaning on nostalgia and re-molds instead of making new lines for modern movies.• The future of the toy world, including the rise of K-pop, #Labubu, and the unstoppable, eternal power of #HotWheels.• The painful truth that kids don't really play with action figures anymore.• We want to know what YOU think! Is a reissue an automatic PASS or an instant BUY for your collection? Which re-release made you mad? Let us know in the comments below!

This week had major highs and lows: one of the hosts scores a perfect Knight Rider Lunch Box, another dropped a hundred bucks on the legendary JJ Arms figure, and we reveal a massive LEGO Goonies Playset (and its secret free sets)!But the real drama comes from Adam's Star Wars Imperial Blaster coming back from grading with a tragic "qualified" grade. Did the grader get it wrong? We dive deep into the world of grading, twist ties, and cellophane to find out!Plus, a massive haul of Costco Christmas Tree Cakes and the launch of a new business venture: Dill Pickles!Let us know your biggest wins and whiffs in the comments below!Join us every Sunday night for a new podcast topic and every Wednesday night for our "Wins and Whiffs" episode!0:00 Intro3:04 Massive LEGO Goonies Playset6:13 Costco Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes Box Set9:24 Encyclopedia of Arcade Video Games Shipping Scam14:14 Trial Run of Homemade Dill Pickles15:44 Vintage Ideal JJ Arms Action Figure19:36 Near-Mint Knight Rider Lunch Box22:59 Star Wars Laser Pistol (Rebel Blaster): AFA Grade Issue30:11 Wrap-up & Final Thoughts#LEGO, #TheGoonies, #KnightRider, #StarWarsBlaster, #LEGO, #TheGoonies, #JJArms, #VintageActionFigure, #IdealToys, , #LunchBox, #VintageLunchbox, #AFA, #ToyGrading, #ArcadeGame #Goonies #gooniesneversaydie -----------------------

This week, we're talking about the big brands you'll be seeing this Christmas: #Funko, #Hasbro, and #Mattel.
