    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    Big Finish has already announced an audio series with Jo Martin as the Fugitive Doctor.

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    I haven't heard anyone say the Monk. EVERYONE's saying the Toymaker. (Not to say the Monk's impossible, but clues suggest otherwise)

    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    It very much highlights the fact that, no matter one's position whether FIRRIB or vice-versa, cartoon Rumble really has never been the same colors as toy Frenzy.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Only Trump could take a technical victory in a political (not legal) forum, where he was nonetheless voted guilty by the majority of voters (including some Republicans, lest we forget) and call it something he "WON convincingly"

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    We've known this is the new Doctor for many months now. The only thing new about this picture is that he's apparently in costume.

    Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread

    What's even weirder. Although they haven't said, I'm assuming they'll be retiring Pikachu (at least, Ash's Pikachu, the one we've seen in every episode), as well.

    HasLab Deathsaurus

    Yeah, I just don't think this was intended for Deathsaurus, and the decision to add them came later. I can't prove it, though. And it's not a tier in any way (potential decisions that it might have been notwithstanding). As it came out, it was never promoted as a way to incentivize additional...

    HasLab Deathsaurus

    It's possible, and I won't argue that it isn't. But that explanation strikes me as unlikely. It's a lot of effort for a "maybe" option. I could sooner believe that it was intended for retail a few years ago, but plans changed after the designs were completed.

    HasLab Deathsaurus

    Leaving aside my comments above on "tier," I do wonder what was in Hasbro's mind, and wonder if we'll ever know for certain. To create new transformable toy molds (however small) for a HasLab (outside of the main feature itself) is unprecedented, and Hasbro doesn't stand to make any profit on...

    HasLab Deathsaurus

    It IS a bit weird. But this is also why I'm keen to emphasize that this was a "thank you bonus" (to paraphrase the words from the e-mail) and not a "tier" (hidden, secret, "3rd." or otherwise). To me, a "tier" is designed to incentivize additional backers. Since this did come after the campaign...

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X Sonic the Hedgehog)

    Do they actually say "converting" rather than "transforming" on that toy? Hasbro's typically been fine using the word "transform" on non-Transformers.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    When TRU went out of business in 2018, I made it a point to get this Japanese toy (the image is from the TFWiki, not of mine):

    HasLab Deathsaurus

    Seems the problem is, either none of the tiers "make us excited" or some of the tiers are seen as so essential that too many folks complain that it's not automatically part of the set. There's just no way to win this.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Sadly, that wasn't an option. For all of his attempts to deflect the blame of The Apprentice's demise on Arnold, the franchise was already pretty much dead well before Trump's candidacy.

    Comic Books As Live Action Movies

    Generally, I don't see the problem. While it's certainly true that most live-action adaptations of comic-sourced material make changes to suit their medium, I don't find that most deviations are so off-putting to make it such that I think they shouldn't have even made the attempt. Bay's...

    HasLab Deathsaurus

    While this makes sense on paper, I daresay that ANY Optimus that looks like it would work well on Haslab, would look a million times MORE like it would work in retail. THAT's why they keep saying "No Optimus' on Haslab."

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    They seem to be willing to tolerate female politicians in the GOP itself, but I do agree that they seem to hold special antipathy for female politicians in the opposition.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Not responding to the doom-and-gloom, but let's be real, even if folks DID see the tax returns before midterms, it would mean practically nothing toward the midterm results.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I'm typically not a fan of Toyhax's "embellishment" sets (I very much appreciate the sets that either replace lost stickers, or in the case of newer toys, replicate the look of the classic versions), but I do agree that the trailer needs something, and I'd definitely consider a...
