Because Hasbro had developed their product line(s) for release last year when Paramount originally had slotted Rise of the Beasts. And, as stated by Hasbro themselves, WITHOUT any Studio Series support. Presumably to avoid the same issue as Bumblebee where the Studio Series didn't match the...

Wait..what? https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-mv7-optimus-primal/hsf7897?id=TH-503305999 So…there’s a bit to unpack there. For one, it’s extremely cheap for a Masterpiece offering, coming just above the Leader price point. Next, it’s a blind drop for a...

The toys, or the movie? :p Toys got this way because toy makers no longer sell ONE product line to everyone. Transformers has, effectively, 5 full product lines on the market for Transformers, each targeting different demographics and ages and even preferences. And the budgets seem biased...

IGN's review. tldr: Fundamental gameplay is expertly refined, production values top notch, superb endgame loop with some bugs and a weak story (which will probably given a stronger wrap with DLC content later on)

The dedicated thread wasn’t bumped, but Paramount moved Transformers One from its prior July 19 date to September 13, 2024. In so far as to how this effects RotB? The biggest change is a (slightly) extended “back end” to the product line. Not a lot, mind you, but maybe enough for a quick...

Congrats! You skipped wave 1! :p I'm sure Primal will get cycled out again. There MIGHT be a Scourge in this assortment by the end of the year, but I don't see much more in this assortment. And maybe, one day, Hasbro will finally offer this dang stuff online.

Looking at the box office…I’m not sure enough people saw TF5 to even CARE about those plot issues.

Yet more weirdness with the toy line for this movie. We’ve known about “Autobots Unite” micro line for months, but it’s still not clear what its “role” is. It looks like a retailer exclusives, but the only US sighting that I know of is at Krogers, a grocery chain. And it has been readily seen...

The Core Voyager Assortment is being carried by most US Walmart stores since the line launched. Rhinox has even been sighted in US stores. But it’s still not clear WTF is going on with the Core Deluxe and Voyager assortments. My inkling is that Walmart snagged Voyagers as a timed exclusive...

An obvious fanwank. I was being a touch sarcastic, but given how a LOT of recent films have been in regards to embracing their own absurdity, I never "assume" anything is a given in a live action film. Found a new link with better quality.

OMG, he says the thing!

That’s true of a LOT of states. But just because the general populace votes blue, doesn’t mean that Republican shenanigans haven’t left most of those states with a decidedly red local government.

You've missed about 9 years worth of pretty cool toys that are now more expensive than you probably want to pay for them.

Entertainment Earth has order pages up for waves 3, 4, 6 and 7 of RED. These assortments basically cover all of the available RED figures short G1 Optimus Prime, G1 Megatron, and Prime Arcee. There is information for a few more releases in the pipeline, including G1 Grimlock, G1 Skywarp...

Don’t worry, Predaking. I won’t leave you hanging :p I got a few hours on the Server Slam, before work and a day long internet outage cut me off. I really enjoyed being Bashing Bear Boi. I’ve loved the franchise, but absolutely SUCK at playing most of them. But Diablo 3 was accessible enough...

Meet you that with my idea of Voyager Rhinox, with dual cannons, with two Rhinox on his shoulders :p Now, I just have FIND Voyager Rhinox, Weaponizer Wheeljack, and get a Battlemaster Rhinox (who is NOT being carried over in wave 2…)

Disney's grand Starscruiser experience is closing by September. No reason given, but I'm inclined to cite logistical difficulties and issues with the pricing. I wonder what Disney will do with the facility. They put a LOT of money into that to just abandon it. I could see them turning it...

Still irritates me to no end when I filter "Action Figures" and still get dozens upon dozens of Funko Pop listings. Those ain't no action figure! Wave 2 Beast Combiners seems to be Scourge with Scorponok. Amazon has him as "Temporarily Out of Stock" but still order able, and at $17 as well...

New preorders! Still no news about the Core deluxe and Voyagers, but Entertainment Earth has posted preorders for Beast Changer Mirage and Battlemaster Optimus Primal, the only new figures in their respective assortments. Delivery is expected in August, but I'm suspecting an earlier release...
