From all the material Mark has shared...I'm not sure I believe that. Now, that doesn't mean other factors haven't come into play...but they've done some crazy ass remolding and have been pretty damn "loose" in their reinterpretation of non-G1 characters. I stand by my earlier comment!

I’m all for a reasonable debate, but I’m not seeing a solid foundation on this subject. Alex Jones has spent YEARS spreading…his views? His perception of news? Misinformation? Lies? Whatever you wish to call it, it wasn’t “news”. It wasn’t information, and more than a little of it was lies or...

Yeah, I could TOTALLY buy an Armada Blurr retool from him. I kind of wonder if the issues that resulted in Blaster and Hot Rod rolled forward (and deluxe wave 4 being split in two) didn’t impact the Velocitron line. Maybe there’s some weird contract stipulation with Walmart that prompted...

I saw them give him a bottle of water and graciously accepted the handshakes he offered. I saw no embrace.

Alex Jones only issued an apology when faced with legal action, and I can't find any information he did so on his show. It doesn't change the fact he spent YEARS spreading the falsehood about the Sandy Hook shooting. It doesn't change that victims and families where suffering harassment right...

What debate? What "other side"? Jones got hit with a multimillion dollar lawsuit (and lost) because he propagated the LIE that Sandy Hook was a fake event, staged to fuel gun control legislation. Anyone from Sandy Hook who went public got labeled (by Jones and his sycophants) as actors lying...

Even so, Nintendo could have backed out of the contract more...TACTFULLY...than waiting until Sony announced the SFC/SNES expansion and THEN announce the Phillips partnership. Hell, you could write a whole BOOK about how Japanese hubris resulted in bad business decisions, especially in gaming...

This was good. Like, not even good by franchise standards, but a legit GOOD MOVIE. The cast was great, and Amber Midthunder turned in what SHOULD be a star making turn. The film nailed the peculiar contrast that made the original so memorable: it started largely as a period piece with native...

We have enough F1 vehicles to get an Energon (because the extent of retooling has become INSANE) or Machine Wars version. But yeah, I'm not overly excited at the potential for a "slightly different/improved" rerun for the Amazon Prowl. Besides, a REALLY nice G1 Prowl would be a solid fit for...

To be fair, I saw a LOT more of the other XLs than I really expected. I was certain some would have been just concept stuff that would end up cut, but most of them DID actually appear, with the retro XL-09 being the least seen of those outside the 1 and 15.

Just from what I’ve gathered from Wikipedia, David Zaslav seems like a pure “business guy”. Someone who can allocate resources, but really doesn’t care about the CONTENT so long as it doesn’t impact the bottom line. A sound manager, but not a creator. And I’m not sure he really grasps the...

I mean, regardless how bad, it still featured a major brand character with a supporting role from Micheal Keaton as Batman (beating the Flash as his first appearance of the character in 30 years). At 80-90 million? You might as well just dump it on HBO Max as planned and take the critical hit...

You get Scourge and swift kick to the wallet because it's exclusive.

Tomy owns Ertl. Just sayin…

So, I’m going to stop back in and wish for some more Throttlebots, now that I got Goldbug. Wide load and Rollbar are maybe out of contention, but the other 3 are COMPLETELY within reason with (by current design team standards, it seems) relatively little retooling. New feet, maybe a new back...

I think that’s the general expectation. Even so, there’s enough “flourish” within those changes I’d be willing to snag him again, even if he sports classic Hot Rod colors. That said, I wouldn’t mind his “season 2” Lost Light look with the shades of blue and purple just for something different...

Lol, and I got a PM within half an hour asking for one! And just to clarify what happened, my local crap hole Walmart has been terrible about stocking for YEARS (and continues to be). For some odd reason, they got LOADED with Netflix wave 2 deluxe. Until Voyager wave 3, they never carried...

Good thing I've got a couple spare Netflix Bumblebees from when my store marked them down. Might be solid trade fodder. I'll keep an eye out. My local store is usually bit behind the new modular sets, and prior years I've had great success with the deluxe figures. Not so much with the...

At least Thor made money :p Snake Eyes was a fairly significant disappointment. Last I heard, budgeted around 80 million, total WORLDWIDE gross was only 40 million. Opening on the back end of the pandemic, it faced competition from Black Widow, Old, and Space Jam 2 after being pushed up from...
