    My Target had the Halo MANTIS for 50% off. I couldn't pass it up for only twenty bucks and it's pretty dang amazing!

    It's does seem to get stacked higher and higher each episode.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    "Bad guy version of good guy character" is a classic fictional trope. Is it really that hard to grasp the concept?

    Yeah, discount store prices aren't really the typical metric.

    She said she's not augmented, just that she was bullied for her ancestry.

    It looks like they're pink because they used that piece as the insert to give him his pink headlights in alt-mode.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    I enjoyed it and while it did feel a tad on the nose, that's Star Trek. The blessing of an episodic format is they don't have time to be subtle.

    I have acquired a fleet of obsolete iPads. What do?

    You should be able to tell the Ipad to not sleep or autolock in older versions of IOs. So when you open the clock app, it'd stay on.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    The vehicle mode is a mess, but saying the original wasn't also a bit of a mess is disingenuous. The original had a better front end, and then everything aft of the cockpit is, "Eh, good enough for a sci-fi vehicle." Also, it's only fair to post the bot mode side by side It's tough to find a...

    The CHUG Problem

    That's the point. It ALL costs money, and the money spent is balanced across an entire wave of toys. In order to make the changes you're suggesting, they would've had to make a compromise elsewhere (by removing a feature or paint app or something else from another toy - or more likely multiple...

    The CHUG Problem

    Toy "waves" didn't exist back then. You got what you got for the year and that was it, though it was also available all year (and even multiple years) long.

    The CHUG Problem

    You're not wrong, but there's only one solution to all your critiques: money. How much are you willing to pay? The engineering, materials and construction are all manageable, but are you willing to pay fifty bucks for a deluxe? Like it or not, everything is more expensive and this includes...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    I'm of two minds. I do like the new Enterprise, and I agree it looks like a natural continuation of the NX-01, but that's all retroactive. The NX-01 did NOT look like a natural predecessor of the TOS Enterprise when it was introduced. That being said, the NX-01 did look like what it was: an...

    I admit I did replace him with the new one, but Fracture will still represent the mold in my regular display.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    I don't think it's diminishing anything to recognize it took Discovery four seasons to figure out how to be Star Trek. I'm just happy ST:SNW has appeared to learn from that and has, imo, been stronger in its first two episodes so far than Disco or Picard have been almost all along. Each of the...
