  1. Studio Series discussion

    The leaks have begun! Next year is the 40th Anniversary for the 86 film, so obviously, LOTS of G1. https://news.tfw2005.com/2025/03/30/2026-studio-series-full-listings-tfone-alpha-trion-86-shockwave-more-535852 Thoughts: -I expect A-Level Devastation Bumblebee and TFOne Orion Pax to be...
  2. Studio Series discussion

    From my experience working for the company back in the day… Walmart is ALWAYS inconsistent. They’ve always tried to “tailor” their offerings to their markets. A general rule of thumb is that if you have more competition in a region, the more Walmart will carry to compete. But if you have a...
  3. Transformers: Age of the Primes Thread: ll First Post All Listings II Update : April 12th, 2027 Bonus Wave: Repaint fun, Beast Wars, G2, Machine Wars

    There’s ALWAYS “that one guy” in any line, especially the start. Bulkhead didn’t fly out stores either, nor did Leo Prime for that matter. But enough of this pedantic fiction discussion, there are LEAKS to discuss! Note that, as usual, listings are subject to change and there appears to be a...

    At this point, I’m pretty sure “Big Convoy” is just a placeholder. Hasbro’s done it before, it remains to be seen if it will make it to production. Tasmania Kid ended up being used on a retail product, for example. If Hasbro wanted a more “American friendly” name, some I thought up...

    That sounds like it should bode well for the first leaked listing for 2026.. Big Convoy! https://news.tfw2005.com/2025/03/29/first-2026-age-of-the-primes-listing-found-leader-big-convoy-535951

    I got you the like for the ScrewAttack reference (RIP) But, DUDE! Check these out, McFarlane is doing a Multiverse wave for Batman RETURNS! https://www.instagram.com/p/DHwtNmQyazL/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=af640dcd-53ce-4cd6-a895-e4caf10498fb&img_index=1 Batman Returns (with the Animated...
  8. Masterpiece Theater: the MP thread

    I kind of dig the more “manga stylized with toy elements” vibe they got going on here. Maybe it’s just refreshing after years of “G1 Sunbow 4EVAH!” We’ve been getting. The additional influences (WFC’s shield/ax, the movie blades) are all quite novel in this sort of product. But given the sheer...
  9. Nintendo vs. Sega (and other lesser console wars)

    The Red Ring, as I recall, was resolved within a couple of years. It wasn’t as widespread as LONG as I think some of you are portraying it. I got mine in 2009-ish and never had an issue. And despite that, the 360 was cheaper For nearly its entire run, with a FAR more robust online...

    A pox on anyone who insists stickers are better than tampograph decals
  11. The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    And again, it could simply be that PLZA won't see release until November and its inclusion is as much to assure fans that the current Switch is still getting it, along with Metroid Prime 4. Going back to Super Paper Mario, the game WAS announced for Gamecube, but got scuttled pretty late in...
  12. The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    I'm not sure I'd consider this a situation where Game Freak needs to code "two versions". From all indications and rumors, the Switch 2 is basically running on an upgraded Tegra chip, so the transition should be closer to PS4 to PS5. Same underlying architecture, but the newer one offers more...
  13. Avengers 5: DOOMSDAY

    And then there's the extended 5 HOUR version https://marvelousnews.com/266-36706 Some familiar names, we got Thor coming back, and he's bringing Loki, that tracks. Let's see...Sam and Falcon, sure, and Shang Chi, he's not been around in a while. The Thunderbolts are there, obviously as the...
  14. Ninja Turtles - Cowabunga!

    I'm really not sure the shrinkage was intentional. I think Playmates did a "quick and dirty" recast with a vintage toy as the base. The same thing has cropped up with assorted KOs over the decades.
  15. The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    Heh, the spoiler tag means I don't have to edit your stuff down :p MP4 and PLAZ- Again, I'm expecting cross platform releases for them, so Nintendo might be saving the release dates for reveal next week. It's also possible the NSW1 versions are still in limbo due to that dual release. Zelda...
  16. Nintendo vs. Sega (and other lesser console wars)

    The Duke was, indeed, a big boi. I got used to it, but once the Controller S came out? The Xbox Controller S remains probably one of my all time favorites, though the PS5 controller is the first since I've really liked. I got an Xbox early on, and a big reason it appealed to me was because it...

    From the Full trailers for the games, some interesting things: Full trailer for Marvel Cosmic Invasion: Hey, cool to Annihilus get some coverage! Gradius Origins- M2's tech is the foundation for Salamander 3. Confirms 6 "core games" with 17 different variations, including prototype and...

    The direct: Big things FOR ME: Dragon Quest 1+2 HDRemake- Eh. I know it has its fans, but I also can't shake the feeling SquareEnix is leaning on this "lower cost" method a bit too heavily. Raidu- Caught my eye. Some interesting mechanics and story Shadow Labrynth- I still think this...
  19. Nintendo vs. Sega (and other lesser console wars)

    Personally, I think the last, really interesting and meaningful, console war was the 32-bit era. Since the millennium, mainstream consoles have, largely, moved towards more homogenized engineering. And the escalating costs of games have pushed more and more to be full multiplatform releases...
