Thanks for the Amazon links. Just saw these and realized I missed Hasbro Pulse, so thanks for the save.

I think the one takeaway I have seen from what we have seen so far is that the "mainline" figures, while being different, seem to be of the same toy quality as SS and Generations. I don't think I have seen this since Prime. RiD2, Cyberverse, and even Earthspark "deluxe" figures, while still...

Also, one thing to be careful when buying Red Cog, check that the bottom of the package has not been opened. I bought one yesterday only to find that the bottom had already been opened and there were no weapons at all. I returned it, but found that all the others had been opened, too (the toy...

So all the Velocitron stuff is up at Hasbro Pulse as well. Scourge was sold out already at Walmart, but everything was up as of a few mins ago at Pulse.

I am torn on the issue as well. Currently, I only keep the MP, foreign, and some special packaging, but am considering even getting rid of the MP boxes. I keep all my figuarts, figma, nendoroid boxes and the like, as they display well both in and out of them, but I am trying to cut back on...

That's for the heads up. He is actually the only figure I was never able to get. (Aside from the rerun of wave 1 with slight repaints... couldn't convince myself to get those).

Watched ID4 on the 2nd, and Resurgence today (as per my "must watch them between the 2nd and 4th every year"). Watched Resurgence with director commentary on this time. Quite interesting, especially with his reasoning for using so much CG and blue screen filming.

Damn, I hope they bring out a dub for them. I wonder about Macross 7 though. While I would rather marathon Gundam Wing than watch that show again, I would likely give a dub a chance at least.

Well, I looked at the back of the packages at Target today, and they have a licensed by Hasbro label on them, so they might be like how Tonka is sometimes used by other companies, or other companies make Transformers stuff, like Super 7. Also, there are the official Transformers Micro...

Well, technically...

He did ask for fans to be supportive to those who may replace him, which makes sense, as the shows must go on. It also a tactful way to de-escalate the "fans" who want to argue on replacements.

Looks like Grimlock went to the beach and is just in his swimsuit...

I always find it interesting reading people's impressions of anime at the beginning of new seasons, as I read a TON of manga, so I am usually well versed in certain ones (Spy x Family and Skelliton Knight for example). Every now and then there is an anime that comes from a manga I dropped...

Reminds me of Weird Al's "Ode to a Superhero" parody of "Piano Man", with the lyrics: "Yes, he's wearin' that dumb Power Rangers mask But he's scarier without it on" Still rings true 20 years later.
