Hasbro isn't revealing D&D's first ever toy line...

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

No, no, that was Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.

Totally different.

No, no, that was Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.

Totally different.

Correct. This year Hasbro is presenting two lines: "Remedial Dungeons and Dragons" and "Dungeons and Dragons as a Second Language."

"Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" won't be available until next semester.

Do they offer Conceptual Dungeons and Dragons for those of us who are bad at math, and is it considered acceptable for Transfer Credit...?

Depends on where you're transferring to. Hogwarts doesn't accept it, but most Witcher schools do.

Of course, there's one magic school that shines brighter than the rest:

The Rocky Horror Magic Academy?

The Rocky Horror Magic Academy?

Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches from the 1986 HBO television special "The Worst Witch."

It's my wife's very favorite Halloween movie, so it's required yearly viewing. It features a cameo appearance by Tim Curry as the Grand Wizard, who does a musical number that cannot properly be described. It must be seen to be fully understood.

I recommend this article as it both includes the full video of the song as well as a general breakdown of the best bits.

They don't need to demand to be taken seriously.

I'm excited excited for upcoming news, but my wallet is terrified of upcoming pre-orders

Isn't the reveal panel supposed to be happening right now? 7/21 at 1PM PDT, right? I haven't seen any news yet about anything there.

Whoops, posted these in the wrong thread:

Pics of new figures revealed at SDCC are up. Mirrored here (not mine, I found them over on TFW)

Skullgrin looks fantastic. Love these new mini-pretenders.

Dead End is pretty much what I expected. Not bad, by any means, just no surprises.

Crank Case is a Skids retool, which I wasn't expecting.

Pointblank looks great. I love that they named him "Autobot Blanker" as though someone was self-censoring themselves while referring to the fact that this character has a bit of a reputation when it comes to their relationships with Autobots.

My exposure to Beast Wars is pretty limited, so I have no strong opinions on TM Megatron.

 

[Donocropolis]

Apparently full reveal of all of these will be on Aug. 16th.

 

[Future_Erika]

Alpha Trion out of studio series Scourge, yeah that makes sense

 

[The Phazer]

What a genuinely bizarre panel. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Hasbro are a totally disorganised mess but what in the world was going on there.

 

[Future_Erika]

Yeah... seems like it was pretty sparse, but then again I've been away for a bit and am used to the bigger infodumps of old

Saving alt mode reveals for a month is baffling

 

[The Phazer]

It's completely baffling for Inferno and Starscream, when they sent out PR shots of the alt modes to retailers two weeks ago with no embargo.
