Just going to post things here since wentwood made a bunch of different TR adjacent threads… I’m surprised to see Aspyr tackle Angel of Darkness. I recall that game being such a mess, it will be interesting to see why they can do (if any) to make the game more palatable. I think, more than...

Walmart listings are included, probably went live early. I’d bet these weren’t supposed to go up before the CollectorCon garbage they were going to do this week. Given the craptacular luck I’ve had with Walmart’s preorder system…I’m going to take my chances on Hasbro Pulse. Though, barring a...

I actually think they'll make a "generic" Batmobile and not link it to any ONE media representation but a general catch all design, not dissimilar to how Spin Master does its assorted Batmobiles. I'm guessing it'll incorporate influences from Greg Capullo's Batmobile, which is the foundation...

Walmart Retro G1 Deluxe figures have leaked, first two are Bumblebee and Gears: https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/10/10/walmart-retro-g1-gears-bumblebee-first-look-523478 They are skewing to toy deco, and dammit if it has taken Hasbro 3 attempts to get an almost perfect toy Bumblebee from that...

Aspyr is continuing its trend of refreshing titles of yesteryear with a refreshed version of Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles. The best Episode 1 game that didn't involve podracing or Legos, it is a classic belt scroller with a splash of platforming. Aspyr's version will seemingly be based on the...

My vibe on what could have happened? It’s important to remember that the entire reason DiC did GI Joe was because they gave Hasbro a fantastic production deal (I’ve heard it described as “DiC practically paying Hasbro to make the series”). That goes a LONG way to explaining why GI Joe always...

They came for the hurricane, but are keeping busy with all the tornados. This is a live stream from Max Velocity, covering the tornado(!) threat through central/eastern Florida, before landfall of a category 4/3 hurricane later tonight. At the time I'm posting this, there are 13(!) active...

Juicy bits about Jones' Free Speech Systems liquidation

Milton hasn't even hit, but the southern side of the state is now experiencing a rare tornado outbreak.

Well, she ain’t white so clearly she ain’t a red-bluded ‘Murican!

Oh, Tampa is getting nailed with the brunt of the storm. But, by trending to a more southern eye landfall, they won’t get AS BAD a storm surge as they would have had if the storm had fallen north of Tampa.

Central Florida, as a whole is going to get whomped. Path basically rolls through the biggest tourist destinations of the state from Tampa Bay through Disney and Universal.

Just be aware of flooding. That's what has killed more with Helene than anything related to storm surge and wind. There's also the issue of potential for Tornadoes. Milton became a Category 5. Sustained Winds 180mph, though it is expected to weaken to a 3 or 4 by the time it hits Wednesday...

Update for the Florida folks: Hurricane Milton has intensified to a category 4, with some models indicating it may peak at a category 5. Landfall is still expected Wednesday, as a strong category 3 or weak category 4 hurricane, around the Tampa Bay region. Evacuation of hospitals and...

It’s a DEALS WEEK! October 8 is the start of Prime’s holiday sale, and the other retailers are all getting in on it. In terms of Transformers… Target Circle Week has begun, offering $10 off toy purchases $40 and up, and $20 off toy purchases above $75. Save $20 on Studio Series Optimus Prime?

Next verse, similar to the first: Storm Milton is tracking to hit central Florida as a hurricane (Tampa Bay region), ranging from 1-3. Landfall is expected Wednesday.

In terms of “Console Wars”, I’d argue the last “meaningful” Console War was the 32-bit era in the mid-late 90s. Despite all its financial backing, SCE was effectively a “wild card” in the market and within its own corporate home. But once Microsoft entered the fray in the following generation...

Actually, Bumblebee opened with just $21 million back in 2018, not counting the extended holiday weekend. With FAR superior competition. Not to sugar coat things, because this WAS a pretty terrible first couple weekends…but if you look at the theatrical returns as a whole? NOTHING released...

July 19 was the release date for Twisters, one week before Deadpool and Wolverine. July 3 was Despicable Me 2, and I’m sure Paramount wanted some breathing room against that. While not “kids films”, I’m sure a lot of kids DID go to both Twisters and D&W (I know there were some at the screening...

I still place even odds that he’s going to delay and keep pushing things back until he dies first.
