Episode 14: Thor Figures, Value, and Tariffs - Across The Toyverse

On today's episode, Scott and I discuss the different values behind two recent Thor offerings which spins into a full discussion about value and what we look for in figures and how much we're willing to pay and then we wrap up with talk of the emergency tariffs being found to be unconstitutional and how, if any, refunds will be handled. Of course, all of this serious talk doesn't get in the way of our regular tomfoolery. So board the USS Toyship and blast off with us across the Toyverse.
