    Making a Top Trumps card set

    I am in the early stages of trying to put together an unofficial Top Trumps-style set of cards for Haywire3. (Top Trumps, if you haven't heard of them, are sets of themed cards with various numerical values on them that you play by comparing a particular value on each players cards). These will...

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X Star Wars: The Mandalorian)

    So, weird story, back when I was a little kid, I got a black "T-Rex" toy that was made of soft plastic or rubber, with a hole in its belly so a kid could stick it on their thumb and battle it with other kids' dinos, sort of a prehistoric thumb wrestling thing. This weird little toy was my...

    The Random Image Thread

    So what do you say? Do we all gather together, and go kick some Casanova butt, or do I eat this vat of egg salad?

    It's the one iteration of the TR Blurr mold I missed out on, and I bitterly regret it... 😫

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X Star Wars: The Mandalorian)

    I was going to say, I would have bought the Megatron M Bison if it hadn't been packed with the Optimus figure I didn't need.

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    So, most of our nearby Walmarts have done their toy aisle resets, and Transformers ONE is pretty solidly represented, but I've noticed a weird quirk: each of the Deluxe figures has their own hook(s). Optimus has one, B-127 has one, and Quintesson has one. Studio series ONE Optimus and 86 Bee...

    Japanese Transformers News

    The Godzilla crossovers have my attention, for sure. Also intrigued by the Macross7 and Patlabor teasers.

    Anime

    WARNING: OLD FART RANT AHEAD! ...you have been warned... So, I was walking through a nearby mall, heading for Target to see if they had any new Transformers I needed (they didn't), and I see a new store called "Toynime". So, I think to myself, "Self, this looks promising", and stop in. First...

    We don't have enough Optimus Prime figures

    If we are talking redecos, then the upcoming Legacy Deluxe Prime in every conceivable color combination would be welcome. If we're talking new-molds, then what would be cool would be a redo of Prime Cyberverse Optimus Maximus as a base/citybot (but not Titan-size), with a City Commander...

    Reasons why Grandus should be the next titan

    Sabreblade beat me to it, but Yes. Considering the centerpiece of my collection is Gobots, most of which sport an early 1980s copyright...

    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    It seems like, with regards to G1 at least, there needs to be that "crashed on earth and lay dormant for millennia" that Beast Wars can neatly slot into to truly be a G1 continuity, as all the different variations are still basically telling the same story with Beast Wars/Beast Machines as an...

    They should do Black, Green, Red, Yellow, and Blue... a whole Force of Lion Convoys!

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

    Presumably, someone must have sorted out rights somehow, since Discotek released the whole series in their SD on BD line. Assuming they actually licensed it, I'll have to go check the case and see what it says...

    Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    Dog Man is a book series by Dav Pilkey, who also wrote the Captain Underpants series. They seem to be popular with the elementary school crowd. (I prefer Dav's earlier works, "Kat Kong" and "Dogzilla" myself)

    The "What made you happy today" thread!

    Got Audited today, so there's that (and it wasn't good). But, at one point, one of my assistants asked if they should wait until the auditor was gone to do an inventory adjustment or do it now. I told them Do It Now. ...and then I looked up the old ADV Films "Do It Now" ad, and felt a nice wave...
