Listener Feedback and Questions

• AAA – Comment on missing build-a-figure pieces (and toy swapping, etc.)
• Mantis999999999 – Slick, your EQ and level were WAAAY better this ep. Sounded good. I kind of figured you guys would answer my question the way you did. I probably should have said you can’t pick your own specialty, but I’m not always known for smarts haha For what it’s worth, even though I’m obsessed with robots, I would go with Joe. The playsets alone win it, the Flagg is the peak of toy manufacture all time, nothing else even close. And the variety of characters is also unmatched. Anyway, laters.
