This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we recap our attendance at the Adelaide Mega Toy Fair event. This annual event promotes itself for its long running campaign; but with new organisers this year, how did it actually go? We chat towards what we spotted, what we think needs to be improved & what we scored!! Spoiler alert: Pub Lunch & making a day of it with great friends, is always the overall highlight!! Then Trent does an awesome Toyline Retrospective on the early 80's franchise that was: Blackstar! With a Filmation Cartoon airing first in 1981; then a corresponding Toyline from Galoob in 1983! Featuring the fight between our Hero: John Blackstar against the Evil Ruler: Overlord on the Planet Sagar. This Toyline & franchise actually has more ties to Masters Of The Universe than one may think.... There are some EPIC Beasts, questionable modes of transport & the incredibly sort after Ice Castle Playset - this Franchise really tried hard & its interesting to think in a sliding doors parallel reality - could this have been a more popular franchise than Masters Of The Universe?! Then rounding out the episode, we squeeze a quick round table, around some of our Latest Scores!

Are companies pursuing frictionless experiences at the expense of truly understanding what problems they're solving?Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as they talk with Mehdi Rizvi, a digital transformation expert who began his career in operations and supply chain before pivoting to customer experience. Mehdi reveals eye-opening insights about the disconnect between departments in large organizations, where siloed KPIs create fractured customer journeys—like a luxury retailer who successfully drives traffic to their website and store but fails to provide basic product specification sheets when customers are ready to buy a $30,000 item. He challenges the common approach to AI adoption, explaining that most companies haven't even mastered basic analytics or data warehousing but are blindly applying AI without clear use cases. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes that creating a truly frictionless experience requires meticulous attention to operational details and understanding the end-to-end customer journey.Main Takeaways from this episode:Start with foundations — Before implementing technology solutions, thoroughly map your current processes, understand customer journeys, and identify real problems rather than pursuing shiny objects.Connect the dots — Break down silos by ensuring people, processes, and technology work together across departments, as frictionless experiences cannot be created within isolated teams.Make simplicity intentional — Simple customer experiences like Amazon's two-click returns don't happen by accident; they result from intensive work to map and optimize every touchpoint, especially when things go wrong.Want more tips and strategies to create frictionless user experiences?

Yes, there is news to talk too - some of it huge. Like a certain huge dragon. Huge fundraisers. Huge SDCC ecto-glow announcement. Two huge properties join forces (gotta build 'em all). One huge Shredder (bro lifts). But bigger than ALL of those, is the unexpected parcel of absolute joy sent by our favourite Canadian, the one and only Colin Betts. This has to be seen (heard?) to be believed. In spite of some truely awful postage costs, comes so many gifts filled with attention to detail, insight, humor and most importantly, love.
