    They're fine but they don't fit in with all the other Diamond Select Enterprises.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Always appreciate a good "Run Silent, Run Deep" homage. As to toys yeah, while Diamond Select deserved to lose the license as they dragged their feet on everything (still bitter that they delayed the Enterprise C so much, that now we'll likely never complete our Starships collection - never...

    Obi-Wan Kenobi - streaming on Disney+

    Really enjoyed the first two episodes. The pacing of the two episodes managed to be sedate without feeling slow (unlike Book of Boba Fett). The lack of so many "silent nods" back and forth helped tighten things up. All in all, I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of the show.

    I think one of the many low-key fun things to come out of the IDW run was "Fat Tankor" and "Tall Tankor". Why shouldn't there be more than one bot with the same name?

    Star Trek: Picard

    Wow. How bad at your job do you need to be to both need to have this revelation and then say it out loud? Anyway, finally watched the final episode and that's about all I can say about it. Thank goodness for SNW.

    My Target had the Halo MANTIS for 50% off. I couldn't pass it up for only twenty bucks and it's pretty dang amazing!

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    It's does seem to get stacked higher and higher each episode.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    "Bad guy version of good guy character" is a classic fictional trope. Is it really that hard to grasp the concept?

    Yeah, discount store prices aren't really the typical metric.

    She said she's not augmented, just that she was bullied for her ancestry.

    It looks like they're pink because they used that piece as the insert to give him his pink headlights in alt-mode.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    I enjoyed it and while it did feel a tad on the nose, that's Star Trek. The blessing of an episodic format is they don't have time to be subtle.

    I have acquired a fleet of obsolete iPads. What do?

    You should be able to tell the Ipad to not sleep or autolock in older versions of IOs. So when you open the clock app, it'd stay on.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    The vehicle mode is a mess, but saying the original wasn't also a bit of a mess is disingenuous. The original had a better front end, and then everything aft of the cockpit is, "Eh, good enough for a sci-fi vehicle." Also, it's only fair to post the bot mode side by side It's tough to find a...

    The CHUG Problem

    That's the point. It ALL costs money, and the money spent is balanced across an entire wave of toys. In order to make the changes you're suggesting, they would've had to make a compromise elsewhere (by removing a feature or paint app or something else from another toy - or more likely multiple...

    The CHUG Problem

    Toy "waves" didn't exist back then. You got what you got for the year and that was it, though it was also available all year (and even multiple years) long.

    The CHUG Problem

    You're not wrong, but there's only one solution to all your critiques: money. How much are you willing to pay? The engineering, materials and construction are all manageable, but are you willing to pay fifty bucks for a deluxe? Like it or not, everything is more expensive and this includes...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    I'm of two minds. I do like the new Enterprise, and I agree it looks like a natural continuation of the NX-01, but that's all retroactive. The NX-01 did NOT look like a natural predecessor of the TOS Enterprise when it was introduced. That being said, the NX-01 did look like what it was: an...

    He mentions that while it's molded in translucent plastic, it will be painted silver.
