    Renegade Transformers Deck-Building Game

    Wanted to give everyone a heads up about the Renegade card game that was announced earlier in the year. I had placed a pre-order for one, and just received it today. Came with the main box and a case with 16 promo packs. I haven't done much with it yet, but had opened the box and a few of the...

    The Best Thing About HeroQuest is….

    I'm worried I'll mess everything up too, but I'd like to give it a shot. My problem is I have nowhere to work right now. I'm slowly working on organizing my collection in the basement, so the table I would use is covered with various other stuff at the moment. I'm hoping I might be able to start...

    Remember the Gamecube? Its 20 years old now, and you won't believe what it looks like now!

    I still have all the Nintendo systems, aside from my older Game Boys that got upgraded from GB to GBC to GBA in turn. Yes, I even have a Virtual Boy, not that it ever got much use. Anyway, yeah, had and still have a bunch of games for it that I really appreciate. A couple good Zelda games, the...

    I really dont like Cyberverse

    I think there's room to dislike this (or any other) show unrelated to target age issues. I mean, the show has issues. The 10-minute episode format doesn't lend itself to compelling stories or characterization. Bumblebee having using the radio to speak again was a really tired trope before the...

    The Best Thing About HeroQuest is….

    Yeah, kinda neat looking. You know, for whatever reason, I always had it in my mind back as a kid that the dwarf was a more defensive character than the barbarian. Looking back at it now, I see that's not the case. He's a bit weaker than the barbarian due to having one less body point, with no...

    I was comfortable with the cost of the HasLab Mythic Tier before. Now, it's looking like an absolute steal in comparison. I'm so glad I didn't decide to wait for retail. On the other hand, is that price realistic for retail? I have no idea what board games go for these days in general, but that...

    The Best Thing About HeroQuest is….

    Color me very pleasantly surprised. It appears the Zargon tease is not a Frozen Horror reveal after all. It's not a full expansion, but this Commander of the Guardian Knights is the first truly new thing for this new iteration of the game. And it's labeled a Hero Collection with red minis, so...

    The Best Thing About HeroQuest is….

    Kellar and RotWL are pretty much straight updates of the original expansions, just like the base game is a straight update of the original game. I had those two expansions, so these new ones were pretty much just what I was expecting. I can definitely see how they could be disappointing though...

    The Best Thing About HeroQuest is….

    I finally broke into my set last night. Everything looks great, with just one exception. Looks like the barbarians are molded in two pieces. The sword and arms are glued to the rest of the body. On my female barbarian though, it looks like the left arm didn't get fully inserted into the shoulder...

    The COVID Vaccination Thread

    It appears we lucked out. My daughter ended up having a pretty mild case. She ran a fever for several days, but never went much higher than about 101. She had an upset stomach off and on for several days, but never developed any other symptoms. We just got her retested today, and she's now...

    What's Your Policy on Packaging?

    As a kid, I never kept anything other than the instructions and bio/tech specs that could be cut out of the box. I stopped collecting for several years in my teens. After getting back into it around the late BW/BM era, I started a brief completionist phase during RiD and part of the UT where I...

    Ghostbusters General

    Well, that blew right through the funding goal. Barely more than a week in. I'd say there's a new bar for measuring the success of a HasLab project.

    The Best Thing About HeroQuest is….

    So, was everyone else completely unaware that there was a HeroQuest card game that apparently got an extremely limited release earlier this year? https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/328586/heroquest-card-game https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PFWJSLZ...

    I don't think I have any space to set up another table. Space in general has been our big problem. We're actually working with an architect right now to renovate our house and add a second floor. We just have no space to even breathe here, and it's not like we can afford to buy a new house in...

    That's great news! Glad to hear she's going to be OK. :D

    Just got my shipping notice a little while ago. Supposed to arrive Wednesday. I have Thursday and Friday off next week, so should have some time to check it out over the long weekend. Now I just need a place to set it up. As I glance at the Unicron filling the one table where I might be able to...

    Allspark Pet Parent Thread!

    It really doesn't ever get any easier. Timmy was diagnosed with kidney failure in 2019, just months after losing the other two from that trio, and we were told then it was unlikely he'd make it another year. We spent the next two years thinking he was nearing the end every time he started...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Menasor in general is a really odd case that lets him get away with something like this where none of the others really would. Obviously, he's got the cartoon giving him that style of cars attached to limbs, which none of the other combiners used. Even Superion was very much just the nose and...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I really dislike the cartoon Menasor combination scheme. At least with him, there's a (bad) precedent for why it would be done that way. On anyone else? Ugh.

    WFC Kingdom Appreciation Thread

    So I find it interesting that Blaster is WFC-K44. I'd expected that if he ever did materialize as a Kingdom release, he'd be WFC-K36. Now that he's been revealed as #44, that means that not only is #36 still unknown, but there's presumably a #43 also. Have there been any other rumors about...
