This week on the Toy Power Podcast, Trent is left alone in the Toy Power Studio whilst Ben and Scot are in Melbourne for the wedding of Fresh and Jessie (Congrats!), and Frank is off to the airport to welcome back Ali from London and Paris (yes, he survived 2 weeks of solo parenting). And just when it was time to bust out the Soapbox monologues, Colin comes to the rescue. Its all things Kickstarter including the incredible upcoming books titled G.I.JOE: A Real American Hero Field Guides by 3DJOES, and the arrival of the Creature Commando's wave 1 (4 figures - large animal warriors inspired by Battle Beasts) and then its over to another instalment of the Vintage Toy line Retrospective as we delve into a long running construction toy originally created by Milton Bradley - 1984's Robotix. Its the modular, motorized robot construction toy that was ahead of its time, which got 15 six minute long episodes (with a plot twist no-one saw coming) and a single issue comic book! Dan Larson refers to it as an "oddity", and a toy that was too nerdy and educational for the cool kids! A couple of other bits and bobs in here too, a new Lego certified store opening in SA, as well as some tariff analysis and Colin's take on how Canadian's feel about becoming the 51st US state.
