After the unique "all over the place" aspect of the Star Trek episode, I wouldn't be surprised at any approach to a licence like Batman...actually, I had ben thinking... why not compliment the Star Trek episode with, instead of a Batman episode, a DC episode, followed by a Marvel episode?

"No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris Mannix -
These toy lines aren't really my thing, but I've gotta say - I've enjoyed every episode of this show. For some reason, the stuff I'm not initially interested in happens to be fascinating. I'm really looking forward to another season of wacky toy history!Comment

I thought the star trek episode was the worst of the series. It focused way too heavily on the negative, and they always pull that one fan in for interviews(who I believe is being made fun of in some respects) . And you are right. After that episode, they can go any direction with the others.Comment

Another vote for Hot Wheels... and wouldn't Tonka Trucks be a good one, too?
I never had one but it seems that those trucks were a huge part of the industry at one point.
Oh.... and a whole doc series called The Home Video Games That Made Us with Atari 2600, Intellivision, Nintendo and Sega as a first seasonLast edited by huedell; Aug 9, '18, 10:05 AM."No. No no no no no no.

Yeah it had way too much snark, like right out the gate you're told three times Star Wars sold better. Why do that?
Also, they really wanted to paint Mego as a joke and Marty a fool, I know for a fact that segment wasn't accuratley edited and that story they told was BS.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

I'll have to re-watch that Star Trek episode from the POV you described... when I watched it originally, the only time I felt anything truly negative/malicious was pressing Marty on the company's demise, and having him appear blase about its questionable end.
Actually, on further thought, that was one moment that made me more questioning Marty's ethics, than questioning if he was a fool. I mean, it wasn't something that bothered me for more than a moment, but I remember that.
The passing Star Wars stuff? I must be numb to it by now
I do remember thinking it was actually a good thing they put it in there as I had never heard it documented to that extent. I didn't notice the repetition, although I don't doubt it was there."No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive.

Lego was overall very positive, but I wonder how that Lego company archivist felt about seeming like some zealot saying "the system" over and over? Yeah, it made for a fun running gag, but I wonder how the butt of these jokes feel about such editing "tricks".Comment
