    Thread of Thoughts, Questions (and Maybe Even Answers) That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

    Grimlocks are also D&D monsters that have been around since at least the First Edition Fiend Folio (1981). (Also not something that would suggest high-speed processing of data. Or anything else for that matter.)

    Star Trek General Discussion

    Not surprised about ST4 getting axed. I'm sure at this point several cast members would have price tags far too high for an ensemble film from a struggling studio.

    Lego and other brick toys

    I dunno. I *want* to like it, but all those sharply angled plates on what's supposed to be a very rounded saucer and the weirdly proportioned deflector dish make it look more like a Mega Bloks effort than Lego to my eye. I don't think I can justify that price tag for an ungainly display model...

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    It's even funnier when you know that "Torchwood" was the 'codename' they used for the revival when they were making the first series. Everything for the production in the internal BBC communications was listed as being for a show called 'Torchwood', and the ruse worked to keep the whole thing a...

    Transformers Collaborative | MOTU x Transformers, more Stranger Things/TF

    I'd be willing to bet they couldn't trademark "8-Trax".

    Yeah, 5% of $3800 is $190. I guess someone typed the '9' upside-down and backwards. Anyway, I fixed it.

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    It's like the process of going from the Ironhide/Ratchet toy to their cartoon models only in reverse.

    Thread of Thoughts, Questions (and Maybe Even Answers) That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

    Apropos of not much, somehow when I was a kid I ended up with three or four Oddballs in my collection (but none of the other Wendy's GoBots) despite the fact that we almost never actually went to Wendy's.

    The Random Transformers Image Thread

    That's pretty cool, but the var mode is a Chinese Hongqi CA770, not the late-'50s uber-finned American luxobarge depicted in the book.

    Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

    It's probably an artifact from using Markdown for text formatting, where you need to add a backslash in front of certain characters like asterisks or carats if you want them to display properly, because otherwise the software assumes those characters are there to act as formatting commands. For...

    The Random Transformers Image Thread

    So I think this goes back to the dichotomy between the old heads and the folks running the various franchises at/for Hasbro. The upper management likely still saw GI Joe as a line of generic hero dolls action figures, and assumed that the success of ARAH was based more on aping the size of...

    "In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The police who investigate Florida Mans and the alligators who consume the district attorneys. These are their stories." Chung chung

    More Cassettes for Soundwave and Blaster?

    Yup. Somehow the corner store where I went with my Grandpa went to buy the Sunday paper after church every week had a two pack of both of the Cassette Machines in their tiny toy section for a while when I was a kid, but at the time I wasn't really interested in it because I was into the *real*...
