  1. G.I. Joe thread - Yo Jo June 2026: Hooded Cobra Commander and others

    Tier 3 is unlocked (officially): A HISS Gunner (a female HISS Driver!) with a trio of additional guns for the tank, including turret mounted machine guns and a new chin mounted turret. With unlocks, fans are now getting nearly a half dozen additional weapon modules for the base tank and two...
  2. G.I. Joe thread - Yo Jo June 2026: Hooded Cobra Commander and others

    As I recall, the original "concept" of the HISS was intended to have some troop transport function, along with a drop cockpit design (akin to the Raven). The comic often portrayed the vehicle sporting a "el camino" style open back design. When Hasbro revisited the tank in 1989, they ended up...
  3. Pixar’s Starcom toys aka Lightyear toys

    To be honest, given the general state of the industry, it was highly unlikely there would be much beyond what we've seen in the pipeline. You have theatrical window, home viewing/streaming release and Christmas. That's about par for the kind of movie Lightyear positions itself as.
  4. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Damn, that episode was INTENSE!
  5. G.I. Joe thread - Yo Jo June 2026: Hooded Cobra Commander and others

    Many updates today! The old Hisstank keeps on rolling in orders, and is only about a thousand orders from unlocking tier 2: Alternate canopy and skirt armor to replicate the vintage HISS look. Given fan predilections, this could inspire yet MORE additional purchases to display with alternate...
  6. G.I. Joe thread - Yo Jo June 2026: Hooded Cobra Commander and others

    Absolutely. This would easily be a $150-200 retail release, and there's potential for a LOT of added value beyond the figure(s). I'm tempted, it's a good year out and would be a fantastic centerpiece to a Cobra display. And it's a troop building thing, so you know there are crazy fans buying...
  7. The COVID Vaccination Thread

    So, despite my best efforts, someone in my mother's quilt group (and I also learned she was being more lax with masking than she should have been) had "da vid" and ended up spreading it to a bunch of people. Including my mother, who infected me. Symptoms started on Saturday, but the COVID test...
  8. The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    Portal was dumped on just about every major platform a couple generations ago. Not only that, but they run on the Source Engine, any modest computer will run them well. Heck, just cheaper to pick them up on Steam or on Xbox (both are backwards compatible) And
  9. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    It was a weak, but FUN episode. The cast clearly had a blast doing it, but they still managed a pretty strong ending. I applaud them for wrapping M'Benga's arc so early. Too many shows (episodic or serial) will stretch any b or C plot for years after they should have done something with it...
  10. Transformers Collaborative series

    I think Tonkanator (which is conceptually AWESOME) would have jived with me better had he been a repaint of titan Devastator, perhaps using some of the new assets they worked in to make it more interesting. But maybe Target wasn’t hip on an exclusive of that size and cost. Depending on the...
  11. Transformers Legacy toyline

    The chonky saucer boi will be MINE! I'm surprised he is a mostly new mold. I was fully expecting a glorified retool for Origins Bumblebee, to see him pretty G1 is pretty nice. It's a solid collection, with some novel elements. Space and cost issues are coming into play...but I think it's a...
  12. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    The end of the stinger: "It's going to be one of THOSE episodes, isn't it?"
  13. Obi-Wan Kenobi - streaming on Disney+

    I guess I can spill my view? It was a damn strong finale to what was ultimately…a mediocre series. The biggest issue, to me, was the constant wheel spinning, to the point it retreads ON ITSELF just for the sake of filling an extra couple of episodes. I’ve gotten old enough to let them play a...
  14. Buzzworthy Bumblebee - the "everything goes" toyline

    FWIW, Entertainment Earth appears to be getting some exclusive overstock. T-Wrecks, Studio Series CJ and Kup, and they HAD the World's Collide pack, but it sold out pretty quick it seems. There's also some Beast Wars reissues as well.
  15. Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drug Company

    I've kept an eye on it, but I have a pretty good deal with the hospital I work at's pharmacy. Being a hospital employee has its benefit these days.
  16. Obi-Wan Kenobi - streaming on Disney+

    It always ends up being about lifting rocks...
  17. Obi-Wan Kenobi - streaming on Disney+

    I'm waiting for the fan edit for Book of Boba Fett, because I have similar views on that show. :p
  18. Ezra Miller is somehow The Flash in the DCEU

    He's also a major player in the Fantastic Beasts films. He's contaminating TWO major franchises! Warner is in a BAD spot here: -Trying to replace Miller, even partially (remember, multiverse stuff gives some room to fuss with) is going to further delay a MAJOR tentpole release. -Trying to...
  19. Ninja Turtles - Cowabunga!

    And yeah, if you have Xbox Game Pass (and if you have an Xbox, you really should) and it's posted and working. I've only played a little bit, but the game is damn solid. Some of the voices are clearly "off", but they got the core turtles, and that's what's important.
