Join Jay and Quip as they break down the latest in toy news! Hasbro just dropped pre-orders for their brand new Tron Legacy 6-inch figure line, and the price tags are raising eyebrows. We’re breaking down the newly revealed Tron Legacy Identity Collection (Quorra, Rinzler, Clu, and Kevin Flynn) and the Sam Flynn Light Cycle Power Pack, both exclusive to Hasbro Pulse and Disney Parks this fall.
But the big question is… is anyone actually buying? With the Tron HasLab failing to fund last year and Tron Ares underperforming at the box office, is Hasbro making a bold move for a dedicated fanbase, or throwing good money after bad on a franchise that’s lost its momentum?
We’re getting into all of it live. Drop your thoughts in the chat, are you pre-ordering, or is it time to let Tron die?

Target is making a major change to its stores and it could have a big impact on the toy aisle. According to new reports, Target plans to cut the number of products it sells in several categories in half, including toys, sporting goods, electronics, and home products. The goal is a “less-is-more” strategy that focuses on stronger merchandising and more curated displays.
But what does this mean for toy collectors, parents, and the toy industry overall?
In this video, we break down Target’s new retail strategy, why the toy section could be shrinking, and what this might mean for major toy brands like **Mattel, Hasbro, and other companies that rely on big box retailers. Will fewer products mean better selections — or fewer toys on shelves?
We’ll also talk about how this shift could affect toy hunting, retail exclusives, and the future of toy collecting at big box stores.
If you collect action figures, follow the toy industry, or regularly hunt toys at Target, this is a change you’ll want to know about.
