  1. Allspark Best Toys of 2021

    I think there should be a “honorary mention” for the Core Class this year. Rattrap and Vertebreak were nice enough, but it was the “main character” releases that blew me away this year. As much as we grumble about yet another Optimus, or Starscream, or Megatron…it’s hard to deny what Hasbro...
  2. The Book of Boba Fett

    If nothing else, his escape from the Sarlacc Pit was WAY more bad ass than the old Legends ever tried to make it. And props for letting the geek flag fly with the VERY Harryhousen-esque Sand Monster! Also loved the in numerous Easter Eggs in the gambling den, including an RX series being the...
  3. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    Not sure if anyone is tracking, but the new Netflix line is apparently seeing wave 2 out in the wild. I saw Evil-lyn and "Greyskull Power" He-Man along with Man at Arms on a bike.
  4. Marvel's Hawkeye on Disney Plus

    Yeah, I think, for the most part, these series have been REALLY nice "counter programming" to the major Marvel films. I've greatly enjoyed all the Marvel series, but I think I've enjoyed them MORE because they offer something different from the major films. Between the Multiversal shenanigans...
  5. The Leaked Listings Thread

    Nightbird has also been confirmed. She just might not be part of the initial wave of product.
  6. Spider-Man: No Way Home

    I'm assuming they just created a bunch of multiverse "splinters" from when these characters return to their timelines. We know they all come from different points in time, so returning at the myriad of points would create new "branches" because of the paradox effect of, say, a cured Goblin...
  7. The Leaked Listings Thread

  8. The Leaked Listings Thread

    True, but all the listings that I've seen reports of have had "PR" as a suffix (Meaning we're getting package refreshes of Core Optimus Prime, Soundwave and Leader Galvatron. So G2 Megatron is either a repaint or new mold). As a prefix, it may BE a descriptor shorthand. This past year, Hasbro...
  9. Spider-Man: No Way Home

    Finally saw it. It was GREAT! As mentioned, I was glad to "certain guest stars" get more than a final act cameo, and all looked to be having a blast reprising old roles. I thought it was interesting how they managed to end this trilogy by, effectively, setting a "soft reboot" for the next...
  10. Spider-Man: No Way Home

    Important notice: stay clear of social media and video sites until you see the movie. Spoilers are RAMPANT
  11. Marvel's Hawkeye on Disney Plus

    Big man confirmed. I say again, BIG MAN IS CONFIRMED!
  12. The COVID Vaccination Thread

    Wonko and Mollusk hit the core points. We've had more than a few people who scoffed at the vaccine...until they were struggling to breath and begged for it, for anything, to help them. The only way to have "brought him home" would be to put him on Hospice care...which is a touchy subject with...
  13. The COVID Vaccination Thread

    I called it. Called it weeks ago: At my hospital, our ICU cases have surged up to 6. Not all COVID, mind you, but it likely means at LEAST 3-4 are. A lot more than the 1 or 2 (if THAT!) that would move through earlier in November. The obvious correlation is that people traveled and gathered...
  14. WFC Kingdom Appreciation Thread

    For those whose stores haven't stocked them (and weren't willing to pay the shipping costs on a core figure); Part of Walmart's yearly "holiday train" of lower priced gifts include Transformers Kingdom Core Class. Looks like wave 4, which is Dracodon and Soundwave with reships of Optimus Prime...
  15. WFC Kingdom Appreciation Thread

    Eh, probably retailer exclusive for Legacy or a concurrent exclusive initiative. https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/12/03/transformers-kingdom-core-class-hot-rod-stock-images-446094 Final images for Core Hot Rod. I don't know if it is because they just did such a DAMN GOOD job with the first run of...
  16. G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    Yeah, saw those listing go up this morning and jumped on them from Entertainment Earth. Figured what the hell and tossed a preorder for Croc Master into the order as well. Humorously, Pulse sent me the shipping notification for Alpha Commando SE yesterday…and it arrived today!
  17. Generations Selects Appreciation Thread

    I know, right?! Prior years, exclusives would have sold out by Black Friday to begin with! Most stores barely carried Commanders in prior years, but either Rodimus sold poorly, or Amazon had a bunch of him It’s like, I fully expect the dice roll on the mainline stuff, but the sheer number of...
  18. Super 7: Ultimates, ReAction, etc

    I very much approve of these wackier selections in this assortment. “Alligatorus Prime” is something Hasbro is unlikely to do, but the arm turret even less. And we’re still waiting for ANY sort of Tarn from Hasbro, despite his distinctive appearance and surprisingly strong impact for a...
  19. The COVID Vaccination Thread

    ..then DIE. I'm not even being facetious, we're doing our damndest to avoid intubation on COVID patients because our long term mortality rates are jive. Hell, just a couple months ago, we had a 40-something spouse and parent of two (all unvaccinated, obviously) finally die after spending...
  20. G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    New stuff is still coming out! I saw Akiko and picked up Movie Scarlett at Walmart this evening. So that assortment is definitely hitting (if it hasn't already and those two were getting snapped up quickly)
