Mirage was beautiful. Though I think Crasher and Drag Strip wear the mold even better.

Sadly, not me. I had hoped to go, as this was the first time there was a con halfway close to where I live, but life got in the way.

I played KOTOR on PC, which was my only exposure to Cortosis. In that version, it didn't short out sabers, but lightsabers couldn't cut through it, so that a traditional sword made out of it could dual against someone with a lightsaber.

Prime and Bumblebee were the high points of the line. There were a lot of good molds in Classics (and some not so good) but those two remain some of the best toys we've ever gotten of the characters.

Depends on the continuity, too. Some settings have Decepticons as a group existing in some more morally neutral form before being taken over by Megatron.

Only Perceptor is a Deluxe. Ramhorn I'm guessing will be a full Core class like Steeljaw, and Ratbat is 1/2 of the old micromaster two-pack. I may be misremembering, but I think those sold for somewhere between core and deluxe price? Like $15?

He's coming in a three pack with Perceptor and Ratbat.

So did my wife. We still have her old Intellivision and have played it on occasion.

Sadly, yes. I have actually acquired an NES since that time, and even have played through Zelda, but I definitely was an outside observer to the original Nintendo craze of the late 80's, early 90's. I only adopted the NES, while you were born in it. Molded by it.

I should have bought that set. Been regretting passing on it for a while now.

It wasn't the most high tech system, but there were definitely some classics. Asteroids, Missile Command, River Raid, Q-bert, Dig Dug, Combat...

Ah, I grew up with Atari. So if you want to make some River Raid references, I'm all in!

Same. I do miss "the hunt" as it was a fun way to get out of the office and kill time during my lunch hour back when that was a thing I had. Now I can't count on ever seeing any particular thing in stores. I'll always see SOMETHING, but you never know what will actually make it onto the...

I don't really see this as Anti-Consumer in any way. If the Core Class is going away, they had to find something to pack it in with. These being Studio Series figures, they were going to be with someone from the movie. Blaster would make more sense, but since that's a voyager that would make...

Yeah, I think a lot of toymakers underestimate how much a kid and their parents enjoy being able to buy one package that contains everything you need to start an adventure.

Right? he was the one out of the pack that I was absolutely going to get rid of. Wheeljack I was undecided on which version I wanted to keep, but Trailbreaker was already packing his bags. Then this thing happened and I'm out another 20 bucks.

There are. Frackor for Jazz: And Biofuel for Wheeljack:

Damn, I don't buy many Toyhax sticker sets, but this one got me. They made stickers to turn any of the Autobot 5 Pack into new characters, and this one in particular was an insta-buy: Stickers and a new head to turn my extra Trailbreaker into the V.E.N.O.M. Jackhammer! The new helmet even...
