  1. Hasbro and Mattel to produce co-branded items

    Probably not much. Hasbro is probably willing to slice up the license for Transformers as much as Disney has for Star Wars. Jada will probably remain the larger 1/32 (?) vehicles and micro scale offerings with die cast. Jakks will continue Micro Machines (which are a sub license for a...
  2. What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Or retaliation to the fact the Dominion case aired all his dirty laundry to the public, including his two faced views. I like to think that Tucker woke up early this morning to a text from his boss, which was just an old clip of Trump saying "You're fired".
  3. Star Trek: Picard

    Wil Wheaton had an experience walking back onto the rebuilt Enterprise D bridge
  4. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    In terms of Nightbird, she’s seemingly a major antagonist, so there will be more toys of her. We KNOW there’s the Core Deluxe version (which will get an individual release later on), plus listings have confirmed Nightbird in the Studio Series as well. And I’d be shocked if she didn’t crop up...
  5. Transformers Legacy toyline

    It’s eye-searingly gorgeous.
  6. Transformers Legacy toyline

    Yeah, there is zero indication from any major sources that Hasbro is going to cancel the next wave of Generations figures, especially having revealed them and started preorders. That said, your physical retail can continue to be a craps shoot. I know I basically haven't seen anything outside...
  7. Transformers Legacy toyline

    Unusual sightings: My Walmart finally restocked Legacy Leaders…with Transmetal Megatron. The packaging from LAST year. Hard to tell if stuff is still in the inventory channel…or my Walmart finally worked through the several tractor trailers of inventory over the spring and finally got to stuff...
  8. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    Best Buy is clearing out some toys, and among them, is the Hasbro Fortnite Victory Royale Raptors. Both the yellow and orange/pink versions. Price is 12.99 (half off). I got an orange. My King Hiss (due next week, hopefully) needs a steed of his own, and the chunk of meat is a great looking...
  9. What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    And, IIRC, Dominion still has suits against Trump lawyers Sidney Powell and old Rudy himself.
  10. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    I guess we are neither young nor British enough to view it
  11. Buzzworthy Bumblebee - the "everything goes" toyline

    Let's be honest, we probably would have gotten the same kind of pseudo car thing all the other 84 guys got during Siege.
  12. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    FWIW, I did like the BBM Cybertronian designs. But I’m also a weirdo that digs Beast Machines and like the new Maximal designs (if not always the EXECUTION of those designs). I still have my little candle hoping for a few Transtech figures for the 40th next year… In terms of the film, I think...
  13. Transformers Legacy toyline

    Same, and I like to think that, after all these years, I’ve kind of been able to peg the general “sales trend” for these kinds of items. Then again, I don’t recall Motormaster ever getting a big “sale”, but Rodimus Prime ended up hitting some impressive lows. I’ve scaled back like everyone...
  14. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    ... Why are we still fussing over Wheeljack? We've known what he looks like for MONTHS now! Now we just have to wait and see how many versions he'll end up getting in the line. Speaking of, I'm actually exerting some patience this time around. We should know/see most of the line by the end...
  15. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    I’m not about to hold my breath. The general vibe I’ve gotten over the past few years is that there are two sides at Hasbro: The Collector Crew, and Kids crew. And it feels like the two sides don’t really…”interact” with each other. I feel it’s FAR more likely that the Collector design crew...
  16. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Revealed is another entry in the Beast Combiners segment: Optimus Prime with Lionblade! https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/04/17/rotb-beast-alliance-optimus-prime-lionblade-first-look-480488 The BW2 love (or Brave vibes) is dripping here. I really dig what is going on with that. Of all the...
  17. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    I'm not entirely unconvinced that there hasn't been some sort of running change on the Voyager Optimus Primal figure. I keep seeing more recent images (like the above with the Battlemaster ) that looks "better" by virtue of stronger contrast between the base plastic and silver highlights. And...
  18. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    So…you’re saying it’s just like the US retail? :p I wasn’t even explicitly referring to Transformers. Just to see a damn toy store with stuff on shelves would be an amazing thing relative to where toy retail has devolved in my little corner of the United States. At best, my local Walmart is...
  19. Who will be Last?

    “Decepticon Kaon figure converts from robot to capture module!” :p. May not be a “chair”, but I think Hasbro designers are sly enough to do something “close enough”. Hard to say given the kind of things we’re getting these days. Signal Lancer has quite the following, and Beets Papil is a...
  20. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Sometimes, I want to go to Japan just to remind myself what a properly stocked toy store REALLY looks like.
