They're back! In POG form.

This. I've held out on Starscream in large part for this somewhat unlikely outcome. (And also that the deco is kind of lacking.. plus I still have and enjoy the T30-era set.)

The holiday season beckons, and Hasbro will be ready to meet you there with an event at the NYC High Line from December 6 to 8, 11 AM to 3 PM. In cooperation with Amazon, Hasbro presents "Hasbro Toyland on the High Line" at the High Line Chelsea Market Passage. At the event will be Hasbro's top...

The person Rong is talking to will not remember that.

So far so good... I seem to recall hearing Shrapnel had it, but so far not much more than that (and thankfully my copy isn't as yet). In a way it's good that it took so long to do another run of Soundwave, which hopefully won't be subject to that. Others like Origin Bee are also getting...

Yeah, the very idea that a toy company knowingly throws money down the drain to churn out absurd amounts of product they know won't sell -- when so much of what a company even gets to do is down to what retailers want on shelves! -- is suspect. Everything has projected sales. Not everything...

Somehow Snow Cat returned

Haven't seen the new Earthspark stuff yet, but I quite dig the design on Aftermath. Reminds me of Birdie from Street Fighter Alpha, so I'm envisioning using him as that type of character (no idea how close or distant this is from the show).

I agree with that. It's a long timeframe like CoffeeHorse said, but it's the most likely course of events. They went in on something that was very profitable, figured they'd build something out of it. But that something was more expensive and demanding than they were ready for, so they pivoted...

That being the case, and paired with blaming the forum software or whatever for a glitch, would not surprise me.

Transformers: Titan (Master)s Removed

Hard disagree.

Soundwave and Kup seem to be the best ones, and it makes sense as they're right around the life span of the line when it kind kind of hits its stride. Although Megs wasn't terrible per se; my only complaints with Megs are the colors (it's very "Megs, but wearing HISS parts") and a big chunk...

Ah, there, excellent.

Transformerland and TFU serve that purpose for me currently, but something organized differently (perhaps accessory-centric) and a bit easier to navigate would indeed be welcome.

Yeeesh. Anyone want a mostly free Soundwave and Noks, without the Ravage?

I didn't agree with a lot of his brand running principles or ones that were attributed to him (no interest in Sky Lynx, Wheeljack must be a bad guy name) but others made sense to me or didn't get in the way much (avoiding too much of one color across a wave or on a shelf). But I'd love some...

First I'm hearing of problems with the Sky Lynx toy, but it was bound to happen I guess. I've always been very impressed with the overall design and what they got out of it. Hell of a way to validate Commander class, after Jetfire was basically "oh, so this means 'really big' with a few more...

It's flawed (and I probably will get one of those 3P upgrade swords), but it's really cool to see what they managed with Magmatron. Commander class seems to shine with a challenge. Took me longer than I'd like to admit to sift through buried animation memories to figure out what this Skysaur...

The Micro Changers rejuvenated that line, I feel. The minifigs were the most interesting thing about the box sets (which were just big versions of the characters), so focusing on them and allowing them to also have robot/alt mode builds was neat. Seeing how they carried those out was fun too...
