It's all innocent whistling until the SHEAAAAAAGHHH

I'm struggling to remember where mine is stored (from that move a decade or so ago) and whether the crystal bits were with the main robot (in which case they're in a separate accessory box) or in the same baggie as the micron (in which case they're still there wherever the micron is stored).

He's my boy forever, and that's always come with a few hurdles to deal with. But I will always wish they'd taken a few more passes for Hot Rod's new name for his promotion to Prime.

Yup.

Also man, early CHUG had such charm to it. I'm oddly more flexible in paring down G1 Remakes Batch 1 from CHUG and replacing it with the 2010s-2020s trilogies stuff than I am with letting go of early CHUG, especially Unicron Trilogy redecos and repurposings. Of course, I'm not longing for a...

why am I here floating in space like this

And they'll have to ramp that up more and likely charge more to offset the losses elsewhere. But it's so hard to gauge anything at this point because the people making the situation volatile are so volatile.

I'm very torn on Wasp. I'm glad one finally exists (and the colors look so good), and the sculpt of this Bumblebee mold is pretty nice. But that torso being so much clear plastic on Bee is super unnerving and I doubt much changed for this retool.

Oh no. This is how they get me every time. Exclusive color weapons. (I'm still looking for those damn AOE era Legendary Weapons.) Edit: goddammit it gets worse, FOUR of them

I believe Hasbro/Takara moved production to Vietnam well before the first Trump term; I'm not sure if they've moved more out of China since. The first-tarm trade war stuff seems to have kicked in about partway through it, and then there was some noise toward the end about banning TikTok (which...

So the parent company is what gets the stamp? Makes sense I think. May have to do with ownership of the steel molds themselves. I do miss growing up in that era where there were so many names and companies. Even now, in other sales environments, the illusion of so many brands is mostly kept...

Figures Gizmoboy is army-building THOSE too.

I oddly want that OP redeco out of Earthrise OP instead, but give me that Sunstorm all damn day.

Speaking for must the Philippines, Takara stuff tends to be pricier still, even post POTP brand unification, from specialty stores that imort both. It's been that way for so long that resellers almost instinctively push what they're selling as Takara product to try and command a higher price (I...

I can see why it's taking so long, because this nonsense is going one direction on Monday and flipping around (or getting exponentially worse, if it's with regard to China) on Tuesday. Everyone's waiting to calculate how much they need to suffer while a select handful profit off the movement...

I appreciate how thorough this breakdown is, not just regarding BBTS' response but the very concept motivating it. It helps protect them from people thinking they're just greedily taking this excuse to jack up prices (although, being morons, some will think that anyway), because you know...

I'm tired, boss.

But YOU CAN have nothing, i.e. none of that. Reference: I have none of that

At this point, between many of the designs being done better in the mainline and Blokees/Yolopark/etc taking up the non-transforming figure niche, looks like R.E.D is dead, no redemption.
