That video was such a delight. I like the format, and the background music is very appropriate. Definitely going on my weekly watch list.

Thanks for putting together and posting. It makes it so much easier to keep track of all the different progressions with each toy. I agree you should add these podcasts to the 3rd party news.

Hi, I didn't catch the name of the company making the sticker labels for Metroplex. Can you list the company? I am very interested in it.

Thanks,

These are great! Keep them coming. I'll try to keep up and post the updates in the news thread.

One note from the video. The F-22 is a Raptor. The F-15 is the Eagle.

(Sorry, I get obsessive about my planes... :oops:

)

Thanks.

I noticed the "Eagle" thing too as soon as I posted it. The correction was in the show notes last night about 5 minutes after the show went online.

Also, Dream Works changed their company name to Dream Factory months ago, but I still called them Dream Works in this episode!

Thanks. I liked the segment of 3rd images that we have seen but never came to fruition. I forgot about iGear's Presser. And I was just having discussion last week about Darksol. Too bad it isn't coming out.

What happened to Justitoys? We haven't seen very much from them in a couple years. Didn't they have new versions of the Dinobots planned?
