Why do the cardbacks no longer include figure checklists? Along with a reaction to Hasbro's legal team legally challenging fan sites.CLASSIC EPISODE SIZZLE!TO HEAR HUNDREDS OF SUPPORTER EXCLUSIVE EPISODES BECOME A STEELE WARS SUPPORTER ON PATREON! Enjoy all our bonus shows and full back catalogue direct to the podcast player or app of your choice while ensuring the continuing production of the Steele Wars Star Wars podcast.Bonus content shows include Making Steele Wars, Steele Wars Live Movie Commentaries, Live Call In Bonus Sho
