So I took a chance on this show. It was something I’ve done a hundred times before in the independently released audio-only version. I played a trailer for a show during Grab Bag. I guess the sound was so bad the crew had to narrate what was going on. Well only 12 minutes after the show I was issued a copyright claim by YouTube from Netflix. That means that within 20 minutes they (their AI) had reviewed the offending material and demonetized the video. The crazy thing is now any monetization from that specific video will be given to Netflix. Again, I have never done this for money, but because we played 2 minutes of video with extremely poor audio to promote their show during our 2-hour show, they will now earn the $.17 or whatever minuscule amount each of these episodes is making. That’s just a little inside baseball for people that care.
Well, it’s as close to con season as we’re going to get this year. Hasbro has bet on Walmart. We spend a good amount of time decrying this decision, but we’ll find out in two short days how it goes. As the Walmart listings increase for the ’86 Studio Series, I am getting very excited. I think we’re a little tired of these coded Star Wars listings showing up, but at least it means lots of stuff is coming. We debate whether yet another new Cobra Commander listing will finally be a hooded version and what Deluxe might actually mean. Walmart continues throughout the top 4 with the first sightings of the return of the MOTU Minis.

Question for the show:
What is/are some toys that you vividly remember that you have to return due to QC when you were a kid?
Mine was this G.I. Joe SnowCat which my parents purchased at “Lionel Playworld.” The problem we had at the time was the set missing a baggy of yellow missiles. It has does come with two big rockets on the side of the vehicle but the rest of the other missiles were missing. We wanted to exchange for another SnowCat but unfortunately they were all out of that product. There wasn’t anything else in the store we can afford for the same price, we simply got a refund with a very disappointed face.
This memory was embedded for the rest of my life.
Cheers,
