Amusingly, everything leaked about Microsoft’s next Xbox console seems to indicate that it will be pretty similar to the SteamBox, running a stripped down Windows 11 (seen in the ROG Ally X), but being basically “a PC”. But yeah, like I said before, the Steamdeck did a LOT to bolster the state...

Nobody liked that stuff when it was fresh! :p Also, Aspyr has brought 2013’s Tomb Raider (the first of Crystal Dynamics’ “Survival Trilogy”) to both the original and Switch 2. I’ll be curious to see how it performs on the OG. Feral Interactive showed some major technical flex on the console...

Game Industry Legend, Rebecca "BurgerBecky" Heineman has passed away at age 62 following a brief battle with cancer https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pioneering-game-designer-rebecca-heineman-has-died/1100-6536318/ Her industry accolades include being an early Space Invaders champion...

It’s not the experimentation I’m against. It’s not the parallel worlds, psychic powers, character interactions or stronger story focus that bother me. Given the nature of the story, finding/allying with other characters makes sense. Leveraging those NPCs for gameplay benefits (maps/secret...

Here’s my rambling thoughts on this new iteration of the Steam Machine (the Gabencube): I really feel like this is a “long term” play by Valve. I think Valve is laying the groundwork for more significant things in the future by launching more of their own hardware. The Steamdeck has done...

Depending on the source, though, the shade might not be EXACTLY what the final figure or package art might have. I actually expected the Selects toy to be closer to THAT shade than the one we’re seeing. Then again, Hasbro might have “brightened up” the tones to better compliment Toxitron...

Why, in all that is sane, does a METROID GAME have ESCORT missions in the year of our lord, 2025?! Not only that, but Nintendo’s own trailer revealed we’ll end up with a whole gaggle of chatty cattys through the course of the game. One part of me suspects that, due to the nature of the...

Did a quick check this morning, these are apparently the “Champion” Class? Boxes as tall as a Voyager, half as wide. So I think they’re closer to 7” tall? Not sure I’ll keep all the ones I ordered just for space issues. But the in store display had a shelf of TF07 Optimus Prime, one for TF07...

I’m also seeing a lot of recent Leader releases marked down to $27 online, so maybe check your given store on that as well?

Minor deal report: Walmart is offering select “Classic” Figures (the larger 5-ish inch figures) for a paltry $5. I came across: Megatron TF2007 Optimus Prime 2007 Optimus Primal Beast Mode Optimus Primal Robot mode Arcee Mirage Scourge Part of the “Early Access” Deals on Walmart via Walmart+...

So, some leaks out a Walmart Distribution Center revealed that Walmart is getting another round of “BOGO” Deluxe packs for $25. Here’s the some of the sources I can identify for figures: A-Level SS Bumblebee A-Level TFOne Optimus Prime Legacy Wave 2 (Tarantulas and Elita 1…from 2022!) and 3...

Entertainment Earth has put up a preorder for a new run of Legacy Evolution Nemesis, expected for release next summer. Asking price is $239.99 (ouch). https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/transformers-legacy-evolution-titan-decepticon-nemesis/hsf6161 Meanwhile, they also have a page up...

I've seen freshly stocked GI Joe classified figures on shelves at my Walmart that look like someone crushed the case. We'll have to wait and see, but another user pointed to their Walmart having the shelf tag for this, and according to the news article, the release supposedly features some...

SS-32 Optimus Prime is seemingly getting a reissue https://news.tfw2005.com/2025/11/10/possible-studio-series-ss-32-voyager-optimus-prime-reissue-found-at-us-retail-551371

Walmart’s pricing system USED to work on an assortment SKU system. Meaning, if they raise the price of “Transformers Age of the Primes Deluxe Assortment”, all figures released under that assortment should see the price increase regardless of how old the stock is. The complicating matter is...

Pomp and noise signifying nothing. None of those individuals were ever federally charged with anything, and a Presidential pardon does not apply to state or civil matters. But after his widespread pardon of people charged in the January 6 event, this just continues to fuel the optics of how...

Saw similar at mine where the GI Joe Classified figures they have are different prices depending on SPECIFIC ASSORTMENT: Frag Viper was $20.49, Footloose 24.99, Monkeywrench 27.99 I kind of wonder if the wonky “Collector Spot” is an issue there as well since Classified isn’t in the normal figure...

Internal codenames aren’t trademarked or used in marketing. It’s purely insider/internal stuff. Zen7 architecture will be marketed as “Ryzen AI Max 550 Plus Extreme” or some other unintelligible garbage since they dropped the 4xxx, 5xxx, etc type naming. Notably, nVidia’s Tegra SoCs famously...

So…I guess we’ll be getting another price increase come the new year? Perusing Amazon, I’ve noticed a large percentage of 2026 Generations/Studio Series figures seeing another bump in preorder pricing. Per Amazon policy, they WILL honor prior Pricing if you placed an order…but still a touch...

This has been true for almost 20 years, but it still bemuses me to see Transformers be so mainstream… AMD’s upcoming Zen 7 CPU/APU architecture is being codenamed…GRIMLOCK https://x.com/mooreslawisdead/status/1986991121587708205
