Another great show guys, I really enjoyed it :D!

I'm also glad you guys are still keeping the running time nice and loooong. It's great to just sit back and listen to when I'm just chilling out and there's nothing on TV or to have on in the background while I'm working.

On the MP scale note, I'd like to mention that I think it's nice that Takara is doing them in scale now, but I think part of the reason they shrunk (as opposed to scaling up to MP-01 size) is due to the cost. Petrolium (for plastics etc.) is more expensive than ever and I'm certain that cuts into their profits. Every line (Movie, Generations/Classics/whatever, WfC/FoC and even Prime) is smaller now so making MP's a smaller size makes perfect sense.

Also, one negative comment. Ryan, I LOVE your site and I LOVE the podcast, but often times your voice is way too loud. It may be just your mic or something, I'm not sure, but when you raise your voice during the podcast it's blaringly loud and you can tell that it redlines the mic input because it takes on almost a static/white noise quality to it. That makes it very difficult to listen to the podcast with headphones as it honestly hurts my ears. Nothing against you at all, I'm just being honest.

Anyway, another great podcast and I'm glad you guys didn't pull any punches with regards to the Club's latest flub. I feel like Has/Tak and the Club are all FINALLY starting to actually listen to their fanbase, giving us things we've been asking for for years now, and they shouldn't get off doing a half-assed job of it by finding a cheap, crappy alternative to the cheap crappy site they had before. They're a business and have the potential for major profits given the size of their (currently) ever growing fanbase, much of which has real MONEY to spend and is looking for badass exclusives to fill our shelves so they can line their pockets. They've gotta get their act together and figure out how to CORRECTLY take our money :)!

For you Lego fans, Target does frequently clear out large swathes of sets whenever resets are done. Mostly end of year but sometimes quarterly.

If you have the time and inclination it may be worth it to hide said sets under your favorite kicker until they hit 75% off. Then reap the rewards! I got a Slave 1 for like $20.

It doesn't instantly populate on iTunes. It won't appear until the next time that Apple spiders our RSS feed and caches it in their system. Nothing we can do about it, which is why we provide the links to directly download it.

Thanks for the feedback, xyl360. I'll talk to the guys about it and see what suggestions they have. They haven't said anything about it during our recordings so I just assumed my levels were fine. Hopefully we can pinpoint what is causing this issue.

It may or may not be official info, I dunno, but diving a little deeper into the VW and Porsche warbot thing...what I've read is that it supposedly has more to do with the fact that VW and Porsche have actual Nazi ties, thus the reason they don't want anything to further associate them back to that. So while Lambo may be a subsidiary of those companies, they at least don't have any connection to WWII or Nazis. If you buy into that, then we might not be any closer to licensed MP Bumblebee or Jazz.
