On the subject of Target, they DO have Laser Optimus Prime (United branding) at $47.99, no sale or deals. Not a bad little markdown from the usual $55-60 that Leaders typically run

As the order period is winding down (and looking like, maybe, the most successful HasLab yet)…I just can’t swing it. This past month, I’ve really evaluated what I’m wanting from my collecting tendencies…and I’m not sure Omega Prime fits. While I have fond memories of getting the original Fire...

That’s the nostalgia talking, what with that comeback having fallen out of favor in the past 25 years or so

What should surprise no one, a leaked sample of United Animated Prime featuring a face plate has surfaced. https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/03/07/legacy-united-voyager-animated-optimus-prime-alternate-faceplate-head-possible-first-look-505527 I'm still banking on some sort of exclusive, probably a...

Fixed for you :p It's an existing toy in more cartoon accurate deco, it's not the first or last we'll probably see of it. I can see the appeal (especially on the chest, with the defined details), but unlike the cars, I'm not sure this is as much an improvement as similar changes on the Autobot...

And teal skeletons! Except, they're now the Vok! Great nod, there! From here and what is being done with many of the new Target stuff (like Blaster), it feels like there was some pushback from retail partners about the unique packaging. Maybe the unique packaging was dropped so that...

I wonder if that wasn’t “the plan” at one point. The leaked listings for 2025 reportedly feature a Voyager iteration of Armada Red Alert. So, maybe, Hasbro had done up Cannonball/red Alert as an option until they decided to do a full Voyager for him? Then again, we’ve gotten BOTH an “Armada...

The Star Raiders will be a Walmart exclusive offering, like the Velocitron or Toxitron “micro lines”. So…how hard have THEY been? For me? Aside from a stray Road Rocket, they haven’t carried anything since the Velocitron capsule, and I don’t have hopes here (my local store has gotten VERY...

Cybertron Starscream just looks better and better with the in hand images. LOVE all the ports he's got for extensions. The Star Raiders are fine, in general. I really need to see what changes are done to Thundertron. Cannonball is fine, I guess. Yet another Skids retool, I'm not sure of any...

News has come that that WB/Discovery has opted to shutter Machinima pioneer, Rooster Teeth. Famous for Red vs Blue and RWBY, Rooster Teeth reportedly has been operating at a loss for years. Red vs Blue is doing its final season this year, but WB is looking to sell off assets like that show and...

Spin Masters has a Batman 89 Batwing and figure set on tap for later this year. But also a Batman Returns 4" figure! I've been wanting an accurate BR Batman for DECADES! https://toynewsi.com/292-51899

I was wondering how soon Silverbolt's wave mate was going to show up. I always liked the Cybertron design for Starscream (big WWI fan as well), but I never got one due to the Supreme size. And the Voyager wasn't easily available at a price point I was comfortable with (oh, how times have...

I still think that a G1 Knockout, retooled from Tow-Line, would have been a FAR more interesting choice than Breakdown, even if he didn’t have the Mayhem attachment.

I mean, there’s not much to say. Hasbro’s Joe team is consistently putting out damn good product, especially now that Retro is regular “supplement” to the main line, allowing for a bit more freedom in reinterpretation. All the figures looked fantastic, and my biggest concern continues to be...

A note from the original listings: The original listings indicated THREE sets, with last being Bludgeon and Ruckus. I wonder if the softer sales on some of their prior exclusives lead to Amazon pulling back to two sets, instead of three. If so, that might have been why we got Bludgeon in the...

The Tiger Force set is already sold out at 1212 CST It's a Target item, so I'm not overly worried...but it's not doing my Premium membership any favors when the big reason I have it is for exclusives.

The Special Counsel petitioned the Supreme Court to take up the issue several weeks ago, before the lower court ruling (because, obviously, this issue would end up before them anyway). The SC passed then, but OBVIOUSLY took it up when Trump threw his hissy fit. The Constitution, and subsequent...

Even if the Supreme Court decides immunity in Trump's favor...it's not going to really affect his obligations to his civil penalties. Not that he and his cronies aren't going to try any BS they can think of, but immunity from prosecution for Jan 6 won't shield him from the millions in civil...

GameMill, in conjunction with Raw Thrills and Cradle Games, will be releasing a port of the 2017 TMNT Wrath of the Mutants arcade brawler. Due April 23 on pretty much all current consoles and PC
