Green/Gray Battle Corps Firefly was the best. My brothers and I used to have him flying around on a Green Goblin-like glider thing made from an Exo-Squad backpack, and the dude could make a bomb out of anything. Totally threw the Joes for a loop most of the time. It's amazing we didn't let Cobra...

They were a Walmart exclusive in the USA when they initially released. This new listing is on BBTS. I don't know if this is a new run, or BBTS got some old stock, but it's interesting.

Back then, Hasbro was a toy company. The comics and cartoon were nothing more than glorified ads To Sell Toys. Anything else with Transformers on it was just standard merchandising (read that in Mel Brooks' Yogurt voice) for the time, and quickly disappeared once the fad status was over. It...

I had heard it was a pretty...poor issue as the end of the run. The shop that I had my pulls at quit handling comics in June, and the most local shop to me, the guy is super nice, but is very unreliable at doing pulls. I just this weekend found most of what I was missing, but until I get the...

I think it's good to keep in mind that Hama's IDW GI Joe (A Real American Hero) run was, itself, essentially a continuation of the original Marvel run. (With some discrepancies, but it started with issue 155-1/2, so it's definitely meant to continue the story he started in Marvel) If whatever...

Heroic Guardians wage a battle against the schemes of the villainous Renegades.... ...slightly more seriously, what about a continuation from S4 of the G1 cartoon? There's a lot of unexplored territory there, as long as it doesn't try to write Beast Wars out of existence, it might be ground for...

If Hasbro had seen value in continuing Transformers Season 4, they would have. I'm fairly certain they ended the cartoon because they saw diminished returns from it as a promotion for the toys. The comic continued with the toyline, presumably because they felt there was still a value to the...

I would say, even if a new Shattered Glass Galvatron figure gets made, it wouldn't be a Prime in an SG universe. That is an Autobot thing. Now, if an SG Galvatron crossed over into a positive universe and aligned with heroic Autobots, then, yes, I could see it gaining the title of Prime. And...

I will keep an eye out. I've only seen Crasher once and Shadowstrip twice in stores, they may wait til after the Christmas stock clears out to put out any Galaxy Shuttles.

Yeah, at least in the comics, it was a form of ssstealth coating.

I think those early-G1 people forget how much maturity Transformers gained from the movie and season 3. The series would not be as well-remembered without taking the risk of killing off a vast swath of the main cast (even if it was To Sell Toys). That said, it would have made a cool What If...

Buzzworthy is weird because it's had Generations/Legacy figures, Studio Series, Cyberverse, that Bumper figure with the Bumblebee head, just a really mixed bag of figures and styles. But, yeah, a single thread to discuss all these 'extra' series would be convenient. Maybe separate threads for...

I like blueberry, but when meat turns that color...no. just...no.

Tbh is short for To Be Honest I don't know what the sales were, but I thought the Deviations one-shot was a little ham-handed, myself. Also, not enough Blurr...

Well, in all fairness, there's a lot of similarity between Selects, Buzzworthy, Speedia 500, and whatever Amazon does next. Sure, they are all separate lines with varying levels of exclusivity, but they all fall under the category of "toys we want to see released but aren't considered a good fit...

If it's not Glyph and/or Tapout, I would hope for Red Bumblebee with the VW mold. Also, wasn't a Packrat and Fractyl supposed to be in the works? Could they be in a 4-pack?

So, I am in Dallas for a work conference for the next couple days, specifically at the Kay Hutchinson Convention center. Does anyone know of a local comic shop (or toy store!) nearby they would recommend that I might be able to check out if I get some time? Thanks in advance!

To clarify, would these toys come to life, but still be toys, like the toys in Toy Story, or would they grow to 'real' size, like the Spark Dolls in Ultraman Ginga? If the former, probably any toy snake I might have. If the latter, then probably my kaiju toys. Or Unicron.

I saw the Earthspark toys at our nearest Target. Twitch and Elita-1 look great! I didn't pick them up this time, kinda want to see what the prices are when they hit Walmart. Hopefully I don't regret that choice, but wave 1 usually sticks around a while (glares at all the Legacy Skids and Arcee...
