?? ?? ?? No surprise here, but I was a big toy fan as a kid. Wrestling action figures. Giant trucks that did things. Remote controlled cars. Styrofoam and balsa wood airplanes from the local deli. Super soaker water blasters. OG Nintendo games with the Powerpad. Stuff that made noise. All of it was in my arsenal daily. Nothing gave me more joy than taking toys away from my younger brother or seeing my action figure beat his in something (hey, I was like 8 years old not 42 years old -- go easy on me here). So I felt in my element catching up with Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks on my Opening Bid podcast on Yahoo Finance. It was nice to hold the new Transformers action figure (see below) and yearn for being 8 years old again. The only difference: at 8 years old Optimus Prime was just battling imaginary foes in my head -- decades later he is battling something for more treacherous than Decepticons....the Tariffzoids.
