    Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

    ...and now I've got it stuck in my head. Thanks. It's a Beatles song. Used to play a lot on oldies stations, less frequently on classic rock. If I remember the story correctly, Paul McCartney wrote it for John Lennon's son Julian after John started going with Yoko Ono. Or something like that.

    The Kaiju Thread of Building-Smashing, Flame-Breathing, and Slam-Dunking

    I saw Godzilla: Minus One/Minus Color last night, and I have to say, it was awesome! If it's in your area and not too late, I highly recommend going to see it! "But Haywire," you might ask, "I've already seen Godzilla Minus One, why should I see it again?" I'll tell you: if Godzilla Minus One...

    That is a very...unfortunate?...position for that picture.

    Identify an old robot toy, definitely not a Transformer so I put it here

    I loved the sets that Shopko used to sell; they had a yellow and black Constructicon set, the Aerialbots (Fighterplnce) and the Protectobots (Firenine). Kind of wish I'd bought extras when those were cheap, my kid would love 'em now.

    THE KNOCK OFF TRANSFORMERS THREAD

    Planet of the Apes reference, which is almost certainly where the name Caesar came from.

    Favorite licensed vehicle Transformers (40th)

    Jaguar Ravage is just so on-the-nose, I can't NOT like it! Alternators Smokescreen and Silverstreak (Silver Silverstreak?) and Mirage are also favorites. Not Transformers, but Diarobo is one of my favorite licensed transforming robot series. It died way too young...

    Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

    I had something similar happen: my store has a customer appreciation cookout once every year or so, and we buy our food supplies through a local grocery chain. After I got our bill this year, I tried to pay it at our local branch out of petty cash, only to find out that they don't process...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I tend to forget that CW Powerglide and TR Seaspray aren't really that viable anymore. I know it's not going to happen (Not Sunbow G1 enough), but it would be cool if Powerglide's altmode was designed to specifically be a Cobra Rattler and Seaspray's to be a GIJoe Killer W.H.A.L.E. (maybe...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I am excited for more GoBots! It would be cool if we could get Bad Boy to finish out the original set, and maybe some of the others, like Man-O-War and Buggyman!

    G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    Don't know if this is old news or not, but found the Jada VAMP and Stinger at Walgreens in a display of 1/32 scaled pull-back-and-go cars and trucks. They say Jada right on them, and have been refitted with the pull-back-and-go feature. No packaging, just a sticker with the barcode on the...

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X Star Wars: The Mandalorian)

    In Stranger Things season 1 and 2, at least, Eleven, one of the main characters, has a fondness for Eggo waffles. I'm hoping Knight is KITT from Knight Rider. I want that crossover something fierce. Agree that TMNT is the most likely option for Renaissance. Tails has me stumped; surely they...

    I would absolutely buy both of those, but especially the TFA Elita-1 scheme!

    Vi's cave of bad choices

    Oh, I hadn't heard about the minifigures! That could get...expensive. Depends on what the figures look like, but the blind minifigs are usually top notch...

    Vi's cave of bad choices

    They are pretty cool! The Space branded City, Friends, and Technic stuff all looks fantastic. I only wish we were getting some Spyrius, Blacktron, and Ice Planet sets in the mix, but the sets that are out are really spectacular! ...oh, wait, you said talk you OUT of buying them. Um, hey, don't...

    Generations Selects Appreciation Thread

    Hound was originally rumored to be a Buzzworthy release; its possible Target backed out (all of their Buzzworthy figures have gone to clearance, after all), and Selects was the next best way to get the figure out. Why it's a set of 5 is a good question, though.

    Generations Selects Appreciation Thread

    This would be my reason for being interested; the only problem is it makes me wish I had picked up the Sideswipe set one of the times it was on sale, as I had passed on it because I never found a Sunstreaker to match...

    The new Transformers Deal Thread

    Locally, some of the WM 2-packs are 17, some are still 25, never saw the Jazz set in stores. The Pointblank set would be one I would buy a bunch of if it went down to 5, but it stubbornly sits at 25.
