These days, people will grasp onto any data that will support their decision :p FWIW, Tron Ares didn't "bomb" in the traditional sense, assuming the budget was kept in check. Disappointment? Absolutely, but relative to a LOT of films released this year? It's done...okay-ish. I think the...

Given the current state of politics almost everywhere...how can you even tell a difference?

I mean, you're not wrong...but I was trying to be a bit more...tactful in my phrasing :p

Technically, Soundwave is still an active product (however that seems to work that Earthspark's undead existence). But it's a "kids toy" so I'm not going to hold my breath on that front :p

I'm remembering back to Alternators Meister and Tracks and the fall 2008 assortments of GI Joe 25th: Fans made a big fuss over availability on certain figures, so, Hasbro DID go forward with refreshes. and reruns. But do to timing and logistics, once those refreshes finally hit retail (almost a...

Ha HA! The scale nitpicking betrays!

Not sure if this goes here or the “Capitalist Dystopia” thread…but Steve Burke over at Gamers Nexus made a video on their consumer advocacy second channel explaining the nature and dangers of the current “circle jerk” nature of the AI industry.

Nothing too exciting, but TFW2005 user nune dug up some stock photography for AotP 2026 wave 1. Which includes questionable quality in terms of presentation…like Sureshot’s hilariously mis-transformed Targetmaster partner...

Hasbro Q3 results. Basically, the quarter saw growth largely on the back of continued success in Wizards of the Coast and the various tie in Magic The Gathering offerings. Among Hasbro's notes was some point of sale decline in Transformers, but that can be attributed to the lack of build up...

Electronic Arts' efforts to utilize more generative AI in game development isn't going so smooth. Apparently, developers are having to spend as much, or more, time fixing the mess made by ReefGPT as the AI model MIGHT be saving in development time/resources...

Just a broad FYI: Walmart is seemingly keeping up the "collector display", it appears, and is even cycling products! I saw the War Machine/Omega Red Gamerverse set on clearance, and new stuff in the GI Joe section: Budo, Falcon and Quarrel, 60th Police, JoexTF Kup Triple T, the Dire Wolf set...

Assuming this deal ends up echoing the Fox split, Comcast probably has a decent chance just getting Warner Bros and the media library. But if they try to snag the entire company with Discovery? That’s where I see the biggest anti-Trust issues.

You’re really not wrong in that assessment.

Netflix has, thus far, brushed off the rumors, indicating they have "no interest in owning legacy media networks". However, if they can get WB for decent price, it would VASTLY expand the company's catalog of content, even if they don't have significant interest in the mainstream film...

I thought I had a thread about this (or adjacent), but I guess not...but for the last several weeks, newly created Paramount Skydance (resulting from the merger of Skydance and Paramount Global this past summer) has been courting David Zaslav concerning a potential buyout for Warner Discovery...

My nearby store got something from a dark, dark corner somewhere: Transformers Age of Extinction Titan figures. Yes, the non-transforming ones from 2014. Which came out more than FIVE YEARS before this location even opened.

Some good news for Hasbro ahead of their Q3 results later in the week: Netflix has split a master license for pop-hit KPop Demon Hunters between Hasbro and Mattel. Hasbro’s side will focus on games, plush, role-play and youth electronics. Mattel is getting the dolls/action figure side of the...
