Discussion?

Would you ever sell off all or part of your collection to focus on one thing such as third party legends scale or strictly MMC/IDW style?

In a way, are third parties now doing what Generations originally did: giving us updated versions of old characters? Examples being beasts like Bull Sideswipe and Ancestrod, Cross Dimensions, etc.

Thanks for listening! We'd love to hear from you, so send us your questions, comments, thoughts, etc. Our twitter is: @FKTpodcast
