Hey kids!   This week's episode is packed from start to finish. We kick things off by cracking open a brand-new *Masters of the Universe* figure (because what's a week without a little MOTU plastic joy?). From there, it's straight into flea market chatter — you already know I can't stay away from the tables, and I've got some good stories from the hunt.   After that, we're back to the Dig once again, sifting through treasures and oddities, and then I share a few updates about the goings-on over at the school — the kind of behind-the-scenes life stuff you guys always seem to enjoy.   It's a super fun, free-wheeling episode like always. So tune in, hang out, and don't forget — the best way to help the show grow is to **tell a friend!**

I feel like we've definitely been in a flow for the last few years, but how long can it last? Mattel is definitely in its rhythm with MOTU, especially with its new She-Ra and Swiftwind release. Hasbro, not so much with their new Shockwave Humpback Whale. However, the Classified cop looks like it might be one of their most popular non-exclusive releases yet. Star Wars shows off what the future of collecting might look like with their mixed reality playset, and I don't like it.
