We kick off 2018 with a heavy topic : The Decline in Toys. We look at all the angles frmo the changes within the Toy Industry, a drop in quality, toys vs the age of mobile technology and toy companies ability to receive feedback. We do ALL this and more, despite being a few host short. Despite being stuck at work, Darren still finds the time to contribute with a fascinating run down of the history of department/toy stores in our hometown. But it's ok, we don't end on a downer because as an adult collector, is it fair to say this is a golden era? Trent then tests us with a wide-ranging quiz and hear about our early scores for 2018. Oh and there is a special event that happens in this episode that brought Ben Sachse to tears!
