https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-HP-Dell-and-others-suspend-US-shipments-for-two-weeks-due-to-Trump-tariffs.996427.0.html I went ahead and put in orders for some stuff I hadn't planned on buying because of these sorts of issues. Managed to get a good deal on an open box Asus Vivobook from...

Framework, who produced modular and repairable laptops, has suspended sales of their lowest tier of 13” devices due to tariffs. Sales of the upper tiers remain open, for now. UPDATE Edit: The Framework 12, their small sized 2 in 1, was slated to go on preorder tomorrow, the 9th. They have...

Yeah, many of the opinion pieces that have popped up seem a bit detached from reality for a LOT of us. I saw one writer speak up the merits of Game Pass and game streaming (if you have service stable and robust enough for it outside a metropolitan area). Many have argued about the "cheaper...

Guac? Meanwhile.... Beijing ain't bowing to Trump, so he's going to just add more tariffs! Tariffs will go up tomorrow to...125% https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/08/business/trump-china-tariff/index.html The fact CNN can't even decide where the tariff amount will ultimately end up says a LOT...

How to know what's true when even mainstream financial news outlets will regurgitate, literal, fake news: https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/07/media/fake-news-x-post-caused-market-whiplash/index.html

This week, Target is running 30% off Transformers, no restrictions noted. This includes things like the recently released reissue of Studio Series Overload.

The long in development 3rd Tron film finally saw a trailer drop. After the lackluster performance of Tron Legacy, the third film was reworked from a direct sequel to a “stand alone entry” originally slated for Disney+. Directed by Joachim Ronning (Pirates of the Caribbean 5, Maleficent 2)...

I kind of just stopped looking at Wall Street as any real indicator of economic performance about 10 years ago (2012, I think?): Apple had posted a quarterly result and failed to meet analyst expectations (I think the newest iPhone didn’t do QUITE as well at the time), so the company lost almost...

Probably not much :p It’s one of those things that, like Leslie Nielson or Adam Driver, those talented dramatic actors have a hell of a knack for comedy. And it’s not like Neeson hasn’t been game for comedy in the past, like his Good Cop/Bad Cop role in The Lego Movie and his Clash of Clans...

The board autoformatted the media tag. When I posted my original message, I just slapped the links in. I’m not going to mess with discussion on the preorder delay. We really don’t know anything besides Nintendo is “re-evaluating the situation” because of the tariffs. That could mean ANYTHING...

Official images are out of wave 1, and a group shot featuring wave 2. As are preorders for wave 1. Really tempted to go all in. Thundercats fits my vibe of Masters of the Universe FAR better than TMNT (where I mostly got MOTU variants, Mekanek and Clamp Champ are AMAZING), and Mattel is...

Superman stuff is starting to slip out overseas, official reveal should be coming soon: https://www.instagram.com/p/DICCJfTxlNj/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=71d2be30-5fa9-4355-9070-99b84cead38a&img_index=1

Toys are starting to slip out overseas, ActionToyNow posted images featuring a selection of merchandise (WB promo box?), among the items seen: McFarlane Multiverse Superman and Lex Luther Spinmaster Action Feature Superman figure Spinmaster Single Card Superman Spinmaster Titan 12” figure Two...

Some Easter Eggs (nothing plot important, that I know of) that I caught beyond the DMC franchise. I’m only up to episode…5? The Darkcom elite soldiers are wearing suits VERY evocative of Captain Commando, to the point of being obvious homages. Dante owns a Street Fighter 2 arcade machine and...

Mine in podunk Oklahoma has pegs for AotP deluxe and Voyager, Studio Series Deluxe and Voyager, plus Retro, B-127 and Devastation Optimus Prime. They’ve moved at least two cases of AotP deluxe figures, but the remainder are still empty

Devil May Cry anime, I see your Captain Commando reference!

An extended preview featuring good boi Krypto. And Alan Tudyk, because of course ;)

Paramount has dropped the trailer for the new Naked Gun film from producer Seth MacFarlane and director Akiva Schaffer (director of Hot Rod, Popstar, and Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers). The pedigree is strong, and Liam Neeson seems fully committed.

With that skill? Member of the Cabinet!

There is really not many scenarios where moving production to the US makes any sense for the kinds of product WE (as Transformers fans) want and expect. The infrastructure is simply not here, and Americans will NOT work cheap enough to counter even the tariff rates. Instead of a 50% uptick...
