  1. Transformers Legacy toyline

    I'm not sure if it's cost cutting or a change in design team...but I do think both look a bit "rough around the edges" in ways the last few years haven't. Then again, the last few years have been pretty heavy on characters done and redone to death so maybe this is a result of some "leg...
  2. The COVID Vaccination Thread

    Heard a sobering fact at meeting today at work (I work at a hospital). For the year, our institution is over a million dollars in the red. So, anyone saying how this is a ploy to make hospitals rich...are full of jive. The big reason for the deficits are because of the extreme bills being...
  3. Ghostbusters General

    I see Afterlife doing the same thing Force Awakens did: There is going to be a hard divide between people enjoying the callbacks and character returns with a new story. And then there are going to be people ripping it apart for not being "new enough" or simply playing to nostalgia. Most of the...
  4. Hasbro PulseCon 2021 October 22nd & October 23rd

    Heck, with Micromasters "done" at retail for the foreseeable future, Hasbro's got a good number of tools that could be used for some of the assorted Japanese Micromasters characters (like Clipper) featured in the show.
  5. The Batman Will Rise in March 2022!

    So, Film Theory did a big analysis for The Batman last year. Given what we've seen from the film...they might not be too far off...
  6. Hasbro PulseCon 2021 October 22nd & October 23rd

    I'd probably be in the same boat. I don't have the Unicron, don't have desire for it and all those accessories don't do anything for me. Except amuse me IMMENSELY that they did a mini figure for Snarl (who hardly appears in the film) but not Sludge (who is very prominent).
  7. Hasbro PulseCon 2021 October 22nd & October 23rd

    Maybe that’s Hasbro’s move into the adult/nerdy board game demographics. Something separate from the typical, all ages, Hasbro Gaming segment and the card/RPG centric Wizards of the Coast. Also, PrimevsPrime on YouTube posted a review of the Unicron accessory pack, which comes with a nifty...
  8. The Repaint Concept Thread

    I still maintain a weird fascination with getting the Fox Kids redecos done on the new molds. Market them as “Maximal Strike Force” and lob in a Cybertron/Universe 1.0 fusion Optimus repaint and a repaint for Blackarachnia and it’d make a nice little theme. Something like Primal leading his...
  9. The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    Nintendo has revealed the cost of the Online expansion pack. In addition to a DLC for Animal Crossing, you also get access to the (relatively) paltry selection of N64 and Sega Genesis titles (More to Come Later!...supposedly). The cost for this "expansion"? $50 for one year. The base online...
  10. The Batman Will Rise in March 2022!

    Starting up a new thread as recent developments these past few weeks have started to reignite the hype machine for the new film from director Michael Reeves. This weekend will see the premiere of a new trailer during DC Fandome. Our first new look at the film in nearly two years. There were...
  11. Marvel Toy Thread

    Yeah, next year is supposed to have a celebration year for the 20th Anniversary of Marvel Legends. Captain America was shown, and typically Iron Man and Thor aren't far behind (especially with Thor: Love and Thunder due out next year as well)
  12. Transformers Hall of Fame 2021

    Aren't some of those characters ALREADY in the Hall of Fame? That mean we can double dip on Megatron or Dinobot? Also, did we have a HoF last year? Because how does "reruns" work in the toy selection? And how come no Studio Series? This is a flawed selection this year.
  13. Metroid

    I gave up on the Special Edition, so I got the standard edition from Walmart. I'm just going to wait and play it Monday, got a full work weekend and not enough time tonight to really get into it. Reminder that Walmart underprices its Switch games by about 20-odd percent at the store. So new...

  15. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City

    Cautious optimism. I like the cast, the production design looks solid and practical effects look decent. But the CGI elements look a bit rough to me. The big issue I have thus far is that, from what I'm seeing, is that the film looks a LOT like a "greatest hits of RE1 and 2 in live action"...
  16. HasLab Victory Saber

    Well, I finally backed. After recent leaks, I get the feeling my toy spending will be down a bit next year (unless Rise of the Beast give some great toys/designs or GI Joe steps up), so I figured, if nothing else, I'll be able to flip it and be able to get my money back if I get buyer's remorse.
  17. The Leaked Listings Thread

    Let's be honest, if anyone REALLY cared about his combination with Megatron (not that this design team would be apt to retain that anyway), we wouldn't be asking for a Titan. This is the real reason we want a Titan...
  18. The Leaked Listings Thread

    Typically just "value channel" stuff like Authentics and occasionally some overstock stuff. So I am a bit baffled as to why the toy buyer for this chain would be privy to plans for next year's core product line. Besides being a toy buyer for a major chain, I guess. It doesn't look...BAD. It...
  19. Takara Tomy G1 Optimus Prime (Kingdom Ultra Magnus Redeco) With Tensegrity Stand

    https://www.allspark.com/forums/threads/the-leaked-listings-thread.72/page-11#post-6581 In my defense, I was thinking of this as something to be sold with a new/modified trailer. Not an overpriced repaint with a weird stand at above Leader costs.
  20. G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    Mine hasn't replenished Ninja Core, but seems like mine got a couple case of Snake Eyes (maybe the second wave in there?) and the Flint/LJ case. By and large, either people aren't buying, or have given up on Walmart stocking and have gone to Amazon or something.
