I disagree, the building blocks of the ending are being set up.

Yeah, but you also wanna capture the 40 year old nostalgic crowd who don't give a poop about getting toy for the new movie. Granted the other chars from that movie aren't getting repacks, so who knows what goes on in the minds at Hasbro. Edit: also this is an attempt at an explanation, not a...

It might be the case that they expected the film to be out in or around this wave hitting, and wanted a G1 Wheeljack in stores for when movie Wheeljack would have been on screens.

A Power Rangers podcast I listen to checked out the Power Rangers RPG these guys did and said it was chock full of errors and mistakes (like contradictory rules and whatnot) and apparently their solution is "buy supplements", so they wound up requesting a refund. I'd recommend waiting until...

Oil cost (on average) $22.12 a barrel in 1996, which would be $39.64 in todays money. The actual price of oil in 2021 was $70.68 (again, on average)

Wait, did the second wave of Bumblebee movie deluxes get a price raise for some reason? They seem to be $25 while the first batch were $23.

Sound like Equestron was a micronauts name from nah in the day so this may have nothing to do with TF or MLP.

Seems Hasbro perhaps has realized that crossover figures within thier own IP's are way cheaper than licensing other IPs, as as a trademark for "Equestron" has been found, suggesting a MLP Transformer...

Yeah, the issue here is they went pure nostalgia, so he has to look like 1984 toon megatron and turn into a 1983 HISS Tank toy. Had they made the character model from scratch for this specific altmode, it likely would have been better integrated.

They probably want to wrap things quickly enough so there's still time to get the trades out before their license expires.

G2 also didn't get collected, now that I think about it.

IDW reprinted the old Marvel comics, so maybe whoever gets the license next will finish off the IDW hardcovers. It's a longshot though, IDW didn't do big collections of any of the Dreamwave stuff.

Yeah, I'm out after IDW2 ends. Are there any alternatives to Comixology or did Amazon just basically trash the entire comics industry in one fell move?

No Doctor Biggles-Jones, no sale.

If it's $90, but doesn't have the costly licensing fee attached since Hasbro owns GI Joe, then we're probably looking at a Commander Class figure, at which point I would be shocked if it couldn't seat at least one Joe/Cobra. We had legends figures that all had seats for Titanmasters, after...

Man, is something up with Bigbadtoystore? I ordered Tigatron and Waspinator around the end of September and while Waspinator showed up in my pile of loot two months later, still no Tigatron and I have like 9 days before that Waspy has to ship. Meanwhile Hasbro pulse has both of them in stock...

I initially thought Hasbro just didn't have faith in a mainline toy with a cassette deck alt-mode in the year 2020, but we got a boombox Blaster, so that can't be it.

Got my shipping notification too.

Yeah, Phase 2 really put a lot of effort into picking up the pieces left from Phase 1. It's nice in an industry that often treats continuity as a burden on creativity and not a tool to paint with.

Well, Dreamwave only had a license for a few years. (ANd, uh, didn't produce the best quality stuff.) so that's not quite the same as a company that's held the IP for like 15 years now. (And while IDW2 isn't the same as IDW1, they did carry over a lot of ideas and flavor) Honestly, the thing...
