The last time there was a Force Friday, all the way back in 2015, I was posting photos every day from a countdown calendar of all the classic Star Wars toys from way back in 1977. This time around there is something entirely different for Force Friday II. This time there will be a huge launch with an Augmented Reality component to it.
There are a ton of toys that are going to be released for this movie and I am looking forward to seeing what is coming this time. I still have a BB-8 from Sphero and an interactive Chewbacca. Both were epic toys, I wonder how these new toys will top that. I have all the details you need to celebrate Force Friday II.
At Sweet Suite I ad the good fortune of coming home with two Lightseekers Starter Packs(Affiliate Link). I have worked with the PR rep for TOMY for a number of years and he set one of each pack aside for me. I was really thrilled to finally play this game. Then I got home and time passed and I got swamped with so many things. I kept seeing posts from the Lightseekers Official site and Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. I saw the toys in Toys R Us and on Amazon.com. More time passed and I did not get to playing the game. I had no excuse, too. I had opened the Starter Packs in New York so that I could carry everything home. the boxes are huge! I even picked up some accessories at Toys R Us to use including a Starter Deck for the Tech element(Affiliate Link), a Spinblade 3000(Affiliate Link) and a Flynamo for my Tyrax character, Jax. There is a whole heck of a lot that goes along with this game and so I made the video below to explain it the best I know how and to give you a look at how everything works.
Lightseekers is a Toys to Life Game, but it is more than that. Lightseekers are action figures, but they are more than that. Lightseekers are Augmented Reality, but they are more than that. Lightseekers is a Collectible Card Game but again, they are more than that. There are so many facets to Lightseekers and it is only continuing to grow and expand. See what I mean in the video below.
