  1. X-Men '97 - continuation of 1992 Animated Series

    Here are details and a (not informative) update from the head of Marvel Animation: https://ew.com/x-men-97-beau-demayo-firing-marvel-animation-responds-8609643 There is some…oddness…at play. There didn’t seem to be anything done or said or posted by DeMayo that would normally warrant the...
  2. G.I. Joe thread - Yo Jo June 2026: Hooded Cobra Commander and others

    I, too, remain unimpressed with what I’m seeing. The game is trying SO hard to be like Shredder’s Revenge, it almost feels like a reskin of that game given the stylings I’m seeing. The problem is…this kind of game and those stylings? I don’t feel they really fit with the nature of the GI Joe...
  3. We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Yeah, Costco is a members’ warehouse retailer, like Sam’s Club or BJ’s. I’m not sure I’d call them “widespread”, though. Nearest ones to me are about an hour drive, and when I lived in Iowa, either chain was 2-4 hours away. The supermarket question is…complicated. There is no, true...
  4. Street Sharks return. JAWSOME!

    Paying VIN Diesel for a promo bit would have probably cost more than what this entire LINE cost to develop
  5. Transformers Legacy toyline

    I missed that. We’re all still assuming a Voyager. There isn’t much a reason to assume he ISN’T one, though. It seems unlikely Hasbro has anything worth retooling at the leader price point for the character (unless a completely different design), and the MO of Hasbro works against that idea...
  6. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    Origins Sy-Klone will be available to order on March 21. Extendar has had in package samples leaked online, presumably for order next month, or something. I’m interested in Extendar, I’ve got a soft spot for those unappreciated late line entries.
  7. X Men Thread

    I’ve only passively been following X-Men in the past decade (or two)…but this relaunch has caught my eye. There’s a clear sense of going “back to basic” here, which I’m glad to see. Aside from X-ceptional, I’m digging the team rosters for the other books. Could just be that I’m just tickled...
  8. Transformers Legacy toyline

    That’s my feeling: Thundertron will be a Voyager repaint with some extra “stuff”. One deco option nobody seems to have talked about is the “Go Prime” deco- white base with teal/green and black with gold accents. It would be compellingly different without treading on decos established for Leo...
  9. We live in a capitalist dystopia

    There was a bit more nuance to what his statement implied. Again, it isn't widespread, and the article even mentions that Self Checkout will probably "flex" from being reserved to expedite Scan and Go and Spark to operating normally. The Walmart rep also reported that "it is up to the...
  10. We live in a capitalist dystopia

    I swear, you barely glance through the articles instead of READ them... Tl;dr- Walmart and Target (and pretty much every other retailer, including Dollar General) are re-evaluating the use of Self Checkouts in light of a massive uptick in shrinkage (losses due to theft, damage, etc) and...
  11. Hasbr-uh-oh - Business and Tariffs Discussion

    AI is the current "crypto" or "NFT" hype word for investors. I think Chris Cox's comments above are just lip service for the sake of investors. Hasbro did a couple of NFT items...but NEVER seemed to go all in on that (and rightfully so).
  12. Street Sharks return. JAWSOME!

    I was primarily a Fox Kids child growing up, so I missed out on stuff like Mighty Max or Street Sharks if they didn't air on the main programming block. I REMEMBER Street Sharks, but don't have any major connections to the franchise. I remember the commercial for the hand puppets, for some...
  13. Transformers Legacy toyline

    Might be because this Ferak has some new tooling, rather than a straight repaint? For those that didn't watch the livestream, they confirmed wave 2 United preorders next week...unless you find them at retail first.
  14. Transformers Legacy toyline

    Yeah, the Star Raiders are up for preorder at Walmart and Hasbro Pulse, with Filch being the one I've seen sellout. Pretty good odds at her being short packed like Cosmo was (though, I can AT LEAST understand it, here). Not shipping until this summer, so I'm being prudent and taking a "wait and...
  15. The Cheesecake Bakery

    I like to think I'm fairly mellow these days, when it comes to "going with the flow" with films. But... I have NEVER left a film as angry as I did with Ghost in the Shell.
  16. Transformers Collaborative series

    First off, I posted it first. And I wasn't digging THAT far back to find the old thread, so.... :p
  17. Transformers Collaborative series

    I'll buy the Optimus off you if you don't want it ;)
  18. Transformers Collaborative series

    Target Collaborative Optimus Prime w/ Autobot Bullseye https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/03/13/target-optimus-prime-autobot-bullseye-first-look-506212 I have to say...I really dig the the Optimus deco. I can leave the trailer and Bullseye (Siege Ravage redeco), but the black/dark blue and red...
  19. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    Target is offering Mouse-Jaw in their big toy sale for $15. Free shipping at $35 and up, and I'm sure between there are other items to be found to add to the total.
  20. G.I. Joe thread - Yo Jo June 2026: Hooded Cobra Commander and others

    Target has a toy sale going on, and few notable items for GI Joe fans: Python Patrol Vypra for $15, Cobra Island Roadblock for $10 and the Trouble Bubble with Televiper is just $26.99. Supposedly online only, but stores might price match.
