*This is a re-upload! Not deja vu...* So, you thought you were always a visor kinda guy, but now you're all about the googles... Or maybe the hood was your jam and now you want nothing to do with it in favour of the mirrorface. In this episode the boys discuss toys they always used to like but now have no time of day for; and toys they never gave a second glance before and now rock their world. We're also cracking out our Xmas wishlist! Guess we'll be encouraging our loved ones to listen to this ep!
