I'll also say that our staff's meming of the thread title has stayed on point throughout the run thus far. Have to admit something has to have a special little spark to keep us all engaged in this fashion :P

Preorders are out at your preferred venue for most of the 2026 wave 1 products. It's worth noting that, TECHNICALLY, one of the deluxe figures and one of the Voyager figures are "TBD". At this point, the only REVEALED figures are 86 Windcharger and 86 Thundercracker, but it remains to be seen...

Their meme game remains on point. So is their game references. I'm familiar with Souls games enough to "see" stuff like the second phase and the telegraphed "area attacks", and other tropes of the current gaming meta to appreciate what they're doing here. And I'm totally down for it.

JtPrime posted stock images from more of wave 1 2026, including: TF5 Barricade TFOne Airrachnid TFOne Alpha Trion TF5 Nemesis Prime https://news.tfw2005.com/2025/09/16/studio-series-86-leader-soundwave-first-look-546781

I mean, EE's fundamental business is a distributor at this point, not "point of sale" type stuff BBTS or Pulse do. As is, EE practically never sold individual items from assorted cases on a regular basis until around 2013-2015 when Hasbro actually started to ship stuff in solid cases as a SOP...

How about some good news? I know, that’s rare these days, but former Hasbro marketing manager Billy Lagor is returning to Hasbro as President of Toys and Games. After leaving Hasbro seven years ago, Mr. Lagor bounced around the toy and non-toy industry with his most recent position being CEO...

Ol' Markclonus has given a hefty look at the brand new Big Convoy due in a few months: https://www.instagram.com/markclonus/p/DOpNDp7gEqI/?hl=en I WILL say that I kind of miss that black/coal helmet thing the SDCC proto had going on. I dug it for something different from the usual Optimus...

A less than encouraging update on this issue: Everest has been placed into receivership after reporting that ITS ENTIRE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAD RESIGNED. A bankruptcy filing is expected in the coming weeks due to the company's debt issues and lack of corporate leadership. It has not been made...

Actually, wave 3 stuff seems to be hitting earlier than anticipated. A LOT of the "October-ish" items have hit early, with some stuff hitting a few weeks back (newest wave of GI Joe Classified, for example). Likely a result from the "shipping rush" companies did early in the summer to get...

Eh, kind of? Atari, for all the BS it's prior (pre-Wade Rosen) CEO dabbled in, Atari always had that reservoir of assets and branding value to leverage. This is Acclaim in name only. They don't have ANY of the old assets aside from the logo. But they seem insistent on using the old name as...

https://news.tfw2005.com/2025/09/11/transformers-deluxe-voyager-leader-price-increases-in-2026-546503 TFW2005 Member nune, who has posted reliable information in the past, is reporting retailer systems are indicating a price increase for 2026: This follows on TNI's prior report of increases...

The sheer volume of media exposure is already doing that. We'll see how long he stays in the news, but liberal voices and officials haven't stayed in the "spotlight" very long. I'm sure the right will prop him up on a pedestal for years. Dude, I'll be right with you. if only you guys heard...

Acclaim had its first "Play Acclaim" showcase. They DO have games...but I'm not sure it feels like the Acclaim I knew... I mean, I wasn't expecting top tier titles from a brand new company, but a majority felt like "any other indie company". Not that that's a bad thing, but only a few of the...

I worked at Walmart. Had plenty on launch date, a full "feature section" in the toy aisle like any other blockbuster film of the time. Stuff sold, but it wasn't particularly notable for the first few weeks. Then the movie hit, and I show up to work Friday or Saturday evening (night shifter)...

Hasbro’s been talking up about moving headquarters even back in Goldner’s day. It got to the point they even took out some offices several years back in Boston, but shuttered them after Cox took over in a cost cutting move. Guess they made the call to make the move after all. Not necessarily...

Yeah, Hasbro Pulse’s insistence on FedEx has really pushed me to not renew my Pulse Membership and just stick with Amazon. If I had ordered from Amazon, I’d already have my GI Joe 91 Snake Eyes and Battle Armor Cobra Commander…

Man, what a gearist. Just because it’s not a standard gear doesn’t make it any less a gear!

A new Street Fighter film is in production for an expected release on October 16, 2026. Cody Rhodes already posted a teaser of himself as Guile (a shadow pic, revealing a very flattop haircut), but now a full cast has been revealed: https://toynewsi.com/414-59641 A surprisingly stacked cast...

I know we were all “hemming and hawing” about the film’s financial performance…but apparently it has done well enough that a sequel has been announced. The current world total is right around $613 million (plus whatever revenue from licensing or “brand uplift”). Superman: Man of Tomorrow will...
