I remember watching Shining Time Station on PBS as a kid, and I remember really loving the model work. When my son got into Thomas a couple years ago, we started picking up dvds at thrift stores, and I've found I actually appreciate the models and stories more now.

Yeah, we were at the John Deere Pavilion in Moline IL this weekend, and half the toys in the gift store were branded Tomy instead of Ertl. Why they don't have a line of Transfarmers yet is beyond me...

Yeah, Machine Robo Revenge of Cronos came out on Blu-Ray earlier this year. Discotek released it as an SD on BD, so it's not remastered or anything. It's a 2-disc set, but all the episodes of the series are on the first disc, the 2nd disc is for some OVAs focused on Leina Stol. They look good...

Nice! I am excited to see this!

So, I know we have some Thomas the Tank Engine fans here, so I thought it might be good to have a dedicated thread for stuff like this. The Family Museum in Bettendorf, Iowa had a traveling Thomas exhibit, and since my son, Haywire 3, just turned 4, we thought we would make the trip so he could...

Add Animated Wreck-Gar to that list. It's my favorite take on the character, and we don't get enough garbage truck transformers as it is.

It kind of depends on the race. Circle track racing is different from road course racing, and rally racing is a whole other experience, too. And then, there is the question of if it's an endurance race or not... Generally, there is some kind of support/pit crew. There are commentators, and...

Somewhere, the folks at Kotobukiya are rubbing their hands together and cackling maniacally. Their plans for a Bishoujo Skywarp suddenly just got that much closer to fruition...

I can't speak for other posters, but I'm not sure the ones complaining about the price of Flamewar are the same ones who complain about cutting corners on decos. Even in your example, there was usually the less expensive Hasbro option and the pricier Takara one. Fans could choose price vs deco...

It certainly wouldn't hurt to bring back the Vehicons as a faction. The toys were a part of Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise, and Universe 1.0, which is a not-insignificant chunk of Transformers history. Seems like they ought to be on the table for Legacy, whether Beast Machines itself is...

SG Slicer was 2 deluxe figures redecoed for 48.99. SG Flamewar is a deluxe and a Battlemaster redecoed for 42.99. They're essentially contemporary figures, so why do the prices feel like apples to oranges? It's a beautiful figure, one I would be excited to add to my collection, but that price...

I keep looking at Impactor and wondering if we could get a Tulcas/Tanker out of him. Complete the Dorvack trio, and make more Convertors references in one shot.

Are the kids wearing some kind of Cybertronian glove, or did their hands get transformed somehow? (Not expecting anyone to know the answer, just speculating out loud)

Okay, this is really a list for something after Legacy, and I'm sure I posted it before on the old board, but the latest "The Basics" reminded me. Let's say go! Esmeral, with a pretool for Deathsaurus, with robot, mecha-kaiju, and a combiner torso mode. Doesn't need to be CW-compatible, but...

I like the idea of Deathsaurus subbing as a torso for either Liokaiser or Dinoking. The Dezarus execution made sense based on existing molds, but just wasn't a perfect fit. Still, I'm glad we got even that!

So, I've watched through episode 3 of Decker, still enjoying it. Kinda wish I'd kept up with Trigger; at least the mecha were carried over (and it took me FAR too long to figure out what Nursedessei was), not sure what else. Also seems like I need to go back and rewatch Dyna. Tangentially, I...

Elita, Twitch, and Megatron look like great figures! I am a little upset that the tiny figures are a finger puppet gimmick. Would love to get these character designs in a Legends/Core scale, not just the Warrior/Deluxe.

Catilla, Chainclaw, and Snarler would be interesting if they went all-out on the beast forms. I still wish we had got the Waverider Primemaster, but otherwise I'm not sure there's a lot they could do with them in the current way they handle Pretenders that would be interesting. Metalhawk is...

That looks fantastic!

It's definitely new. There are a couple design cues on the Action Toys figure that aren't present on this one. Since they're both based on the anime, they have some similarities, like the optional long drill, but they connect differently, too.
