Because people want some approximation of the look and feel of the vintage console and playing experience? It's not like the Mini-Snes is being produced instead of these games being released on the switch VC, that'll happen eventually anyway

Sega did it with some of their Genesis titles for the PS3 and XBox 360, and Midway did the same. Several times.

Instead of making classic consoles with classic games built in, why not release those games in classic sets for the Switch?

The fate of 2002 MOTU still makes me sad, I loved that line.

Bah. There are many many toys rarer than Movieverse toys. Any character that wasn't He-Man or Skeletor for instance!

Nintendo consoles are the only things rarer than new waves of Movieverse toys.

*nevermind*

Nintendo claims they'll be producing "significantly more" units of the SNES, so maybe there's a chance. It'd be better this time if they just took pre-orders, and based their production on that

Nobody is getting that.

Anyone getting the SNES Classic with StarFox 2?

Office: Submarine!

Preorders just got posted at BBTS...

I have yet to see any TR wave 5 items at retail in my area, only in Internet reports from overseas.

They're clogging shelves here, which is odd. I expected the Generations toys to be somewhat cut down in favor of movie stuff.

I dunno, I got a bunch of "Blitzwing and Octone cosplaying as Megatron and Optimus Prime" in my local TRU, does that help?

so will TitanReturns Blitzwing & Octone ever actually come out or have they just vanished into neverland?

With explosions instead of pouches and pockets.

Michael Bay is the Rob Liefeld of the movie industry.

I took a mega-deuce once. It was quite the epic battle.

Now if we could explode Justin Bieber, I might pay to watch it.

Bieber isn't nearly as over-the-top as explosions director.

Michael Bay is Justin Bieber of the movie industry- everyone makes fun out of his over- the- top -style but he keeps pulling in huge amounts of money

<--- stifled laughter

Ah crap, I typed that into the chat thing and not the search field. Disregard.

Twin peak

Nitro Ze-us, Nitro Ze-us! Nitro Ze-us, Nitro Ze-us, ooooh Nitro Ze-us!

Exactly what I was going for!

Dr. Zaius Dr. Zaius

Ah.

It's pronounced like Megadeus

Is the "Zeus" pronounced like "Zoose" or "Zayus?"

sorry I saw the name and just got excited

NITRO ZEUS

nobody here has moved past Wave 1. maybe if they hadn't crammed it with repaints....

Nitro's gonna be a pain in the butt to find, isn't he?

Actually, on the subject of TLK toys, the voyager Nitro Zues or whatver looks pretty good. If I see it cheap I might give it to the Thunderwing head.

Been playing a bit of Saints Row 4 and honestly the Blast Blast is hilariously overpowered.

And a better headsculpt.

It actually has half decent gimmicks too.

It's still crap but at least it takes up less space.

I'd rather have Armada Sideswipe than Alternator Sideswipe.

What he's really doing is buying all the sideswipe, so that after the apocolypse.. He'll have an army to take ove the world!

We could be taking this the wrong way. What if this person means to sacrifice their own money to prevent Armada Sideswipes from falling into the hands of those who don't know better?

People say silly things online all the time, usually followed by a smilie or a wink. Take away the context and they go from being a joke to absurd hyperbole.

But that would miss the entire point of hyperbole.

Well that's a stupid attitude from someone who would waste a lot of money. I mean, they should just... not buy movie toys?

Most insane thing I read of the day: "I would rather buy 100 Armada Sideswipes and PRiD Airachnids than buy any Bayformers crap"

His dialogue is full of allusions to his infamous lookalike, though sometimes as subversions. Oh, and sometimes he sings Karaoke. Check his rendition of "My Way", it's on Youtube.
