Is Hasbro's new $599 life-size Grogu a major Win or a total Wiff? We're breaking down the specs, the staggering price point, and why this animatronic "toy" has the FITT crew divided. From 250+ animations to the mystery of the 4 D batteries, we're asking the tough questions about the future of modern toy collecting and Star Wars memorabilia.Standing 14.6 inches tall, this 1:1 scale animatronic is impressive technologically, featuring 18 points of motorized articulation and 14 sensors that bring the "Child" to life. Whether he's using the "Force" to make his blue macaron vibrate or entering "Grab & Go" mode for your next cosplay, the engineering behind his squishy skin and directional audio is undeniable. However, with a $599 price tag, the collector community remains torn on whether these premium features—like the screen-accurate robes and "toddling" walk—justify the cost or if it's just a high-tech Wiff for most collectors.

A wild week in gaming as PSN accounts get stolen, Valve takes aim at scalpers, rare PS4 copies of Poop Slinger resurface, GTA 6's publisher flexes its expected profits, and the Game Deflators review Ed Edd n Eddy on GameCube. 00:00 Introduction 01:51 Recent Game Pickups and Magic Cards Discussion 04:51 Gameplay Experiences and Strategies in Commander 07:55 Exploring New Game Mechanics and Deck Strategies 11:06 Valkyrie Profile and Other Game Updates 14:00 Insurance for Game Collectors and Cataloging Collections 16:54 Personal Gaming Experiences and Stardew Valley 19:58 Soros Gameplay and Progression 28:47 News on Limited Game Releases and Poopslinger 34:25 The Impact of Limited Rare on Game Value 34:55 PlayStation Network Security Concerns 37:17 Xbox's Customer Feedback and Exclusive Games 39:02 Grand Theft Auto VI: Anticipation and Financial Projections 47:17 Valve's Strategy Against Scalpers 01:00:42 Ed, Edd n Eddy: Misadventures Review and Nostalgia 01:13:14 Outro John and Ryan dive into one of the strangest and most entertaining weeks in gaming news, blending industry shake‑ups, collector surprises, and a retro review that hits right in the early‑2000s nostalgia. They kick things off with the unexpected return of Poop Slinger, the notoriously rare PS4 oddball that suddenly started appearing in game stores. The guys break down why this bizarre title became a collector legend and what its reappearance means for rarity chasers. From there, the tone shifts as they dig into a growing security mess: PlayStation Network account thefts. Hackers are reportedly exploiting minimal recovery info to hijack accounts, and John and Ryan unpack how this is happening. Next up is the biggest flex in gaming: GTA 6's publisher openly bragging about the astronomical revenue they expect at launch. The hosts debate whether this confidence is earned hype or corporate chest‑thumping at its finest. Valve enters the spotlight with a surprisingly proactive move as the company unveils its plan to stop Steam Machine scalpers. John and Ryan explore how Valve intends to curb botting and whether this could become a model for future hardware releases. To wrap things up, the Inflation Deflation Game of the Week takes a nostalgic turn with a review of Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Mis‑Edventures on GameCube. Expect childhood memories, questionable physics, and a debate over whether this cartoon tie‑in deserves its current market price.   Find us on TheGameDeflators.com   Twitter - www.twitter.com/GameDeflators Facebook - www.facebook.com/TheGameDeflators Instagram - www.instagram.com/thegamedeflators   The views and opinions expressed on this channel are solely those of the author.

Today we have a fascinating conversation with Randy Nichols, artist manager and CEO of Force Media Management. Randy's been at the forefront of attempting to figure out the ticketing strategy math, especially the scalper side of the equation. We hear about his dive into the cold hard data, scalper chat rooms, and that time he sent someone undercover to the Ticket Scalpers Convention. We also talk about the allure of the “super fan” and why that is… baloney. Also we get into merch, and the general state of live music today.    News!

Why are concert tickets so expensive and who is really profiting? As New York lawmakers weigh a bill that would let artists block ticket resales, we take a closer look at how this plays out between musicians, fans, and powerful resale platforms like StubHub. We break down what the proposed policy could mean for the live music economy, and why some say it could hand even more power to Ticketmaster. We also hear from musicians and venue owners who've seen the impact of scalping firsthand. What's the real cost of a ticket when it's resold for five times its face value? And what alternatives exist to make live events more affordable and fair? Guest host Gino Fanelli addresses those questions with our panelists: Jimmy Vielkind, state government and politics reporter for WNYC Dan Armbruster, lead singer and founding member of Joywave Zack Mikida, owner/operator of Anthology

Pixel Podcast Topics:

Just weeks before the summer concert season kicks off, President Trump recently signed an executive order to combat ticket scalping in the live entertainment industry.   Despite efforts from several past presidents and lawmakers to address this issue, ticket scalping continues to be a significant problem. Further, the soaring costs of some tickets have been a major headache for music, theater, and sports fans.   Dan Wall, the Executive Vice President of Corporate and Regulatory Affairs at Live Nation, recently spoke with FOX News Rundown host Chris Foster to explain why his company supports the President's executive order and to debunk myths surrounding scalpers and dynamic pricing in the industry.   Wall also explained how ticket pricing works, who collects the widely hated added fees, and what is being done to combat scalpers and bots.   We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.   Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Live Nation's Dan Wall and let you hear more about his take on the live entertainment industry and what can be done to give fans some relief.  Learn more about your ad choices.
