  1. Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    What debate? What "other side"? Jones got hit with a multimillion dollar lawsuit (and lost) because he propagated the LIE that Sandy Hook was a fake event, staged to fuel gun control legislation. Anyone from Sandy Hook who went public got labeled (by Jones and his sycophants) as actors lying...
  2. Worst business decisions ever.

    Even so, Nintendo could have backed out of the contract more...TACTFULLY...than waiting until Sony announced the SFC/SNES expansion and THEN announce the Phillips partnership. Hell, you could write a whole BOOK about how Japanese hubris resulted in bad business decisions, especially in gaming...
  3. Prey (Predator 5) - streaming on Hulu

    This was good. Like, not even good by franchise standards, but a legit GOOD MOVIE. The cast was great, and Amber Midthunder turned in what SHOULD be a star making turn. The film nailed the peculiar contrast that made the original so memorable: it started largely as a period piece with native...
  4. Transformers Legacy toyline

    We have enough F1 vehicles to get an Energon (because the extent of retooling has become INSANE) or Machine Wars version. But yeah, I'm not overly excited at the potential for a "slightly different/improved" rerun for the Amazon Prowl. Besides, a REALLY nice G1 Prowl would be a solid fit for...
  5. Pixar’s Starcom toys aka Lightyear toys

    To be fair, I saw a LOT more of the other XLs than I really expected. I was certain some would have been just concept stuff that would end up cut, but most of them DID actually appear, with the retro XL-09 being the least seen of those outside the 1 and 15.
  6. The DC...Extended Universe or Films or Whatever

    Just from what I’ve gathered from Wikipedia, David Zaslav seems like a pure “business guy”. Someone who can allocate resources, but really doesn’t care about the CONTENT so long as it doesn’t impact the bottom line. A sound manager, but not a creator. And I’m not sure he really grasps the...
  7. The DC...Extended Universe or Films or Whatever

    I mean, regardless how bad, it still featured a major brand character with a supporting role from Micheal Keaton as Batman (beating the Flash as his first appearance of the character in 30 years). At 80-90 million? You might as well just dump it on HBO Max as planned and take the critical hit...
  8. Legacy Line Wish List

    You get Scourge and swift kick to the wallet because it's exclusive.
  9. The Random Transformers Image Thread

    Tomy owns Ertl. Just sayin…
  10. Legacy Line Wish List

    So, I’m going to stop back in and wish for some more Throttlebots, now that I got Goldbug. Wide load and Rollbar are maybe out of contention, but the other 3 are COMPLETELY within reason with (by current design team standards, it seems) relatively little retooling. New feet, maybe a new back...
  11. Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection - Transformers: Legacy subline at Walmart

    I think that’s the general expectation. Even so, there’s enough “flourish” within those changes I’d be willing to snag him again, even if he sports classic Hot Rod colors. That said, I wouldn’t mind his “season 2” Lost Light look with the shades of blue and purple just for something different...
  12. Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection - Transformers: Legacy subline at Walmart

    Lol, and I got a PM within half an hour asking for one! And just to clarify what happened, my local crap hole Walmart has been terrible about stocking for YEARS (and continues to be). For some odd reason, they got LOADED with Netflix wave 2 deluxe. Until Voyager wave 3, they never carried...
  13. Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection - Transformers: Legacy subline at Walmart

    Good thing I've got a couple spare Netflix Bumblebees from when my store marked them down. Might be solid trade fodder. I'll keep an eye out. My local store is usually bit behind the new modular sets, and prior years I've had great success with the deluxe figures. Not so much with the...
  14. G.I. Joe thread - Yo Jo June 2026: Hooded Cobra Commander and others

    At least Thor made money :p Snake Eyes was a fairly significant disappointment. Last I heard, budgeted around 80 million, total WORLDWIDE gross was only 40 million. Opening on the back end of the pandemic, it faced competition from Black Widow, Old, and Space Jam 2 after being pushed up from...
  15. Transformers Legacy toyline

    I'm starting to wonder how much of that is legit dislike, or just something that has spread secondhand to the point it is an accepted truth. Kind of like how, for many years, Gundam X was said to be this horrible, near franchise destroying, abomination...but from western audiences that I know...
  16. G.I. Joe thread - Yo Jo June 2026: Hooded Cobra Commander and others

    Emily from Hasbro said inventory will be going up everyday through Monday. I also think the fact there isn't another Dr Mindbender is helping fuel sales. Zartan was nice, but there was already a Zartan available by that point. There is also some "here say" going around (since nobody has...
  17. G.I. Joe thread - Yo Jo June 2026: Hooded Cobra Commander and others

    Serpentor (WITH AIR CHARIOT) will be the Pulsecon exclusive. They also announced Low Light and the Flight Pod as being in the pipeline. Early renders were shown of Copperhead, Shipwreck, Torpedo, and Rock 'N Roll. The final Retro carded retail figures will be Snake Eyes and Crimson Guard...
  18. Transformers: EarthSpark

    That bit ALONE has vastly increased my hopes for this series. That’s showing a focus on character and design and the intermingling of the two. Don’t think we’ve really seen that since Animated (kibble chair forever!)
  19. Transformers: EarthSpark

    STILL better than the garbage Scout Cyberverse toys! By and large, from what I've seen, the line seems like a solid step up from what Cyberverse offered. I hate to say something so hyperbolic and inflammatory, but I think Cyberverse was the WORST product line we've ever seen for the brand...
  20. Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    My mother is pushing me to watch the Primetime January 6 hearing. but I only have it on the side. It's just affirming everyone I knew or suspected, and the people who NEED to hear this will either not watch or scoff at whatever is aired anyway.
