Minor update: Nintendo DID end up giving me a refund to the card, but I haven’t checked to see if the credit was still on my eShop account. Maybe they did discover an issue on their end?

Yeah, it’s hard to go back to Switch with some of the conveniences of modern consoles. As much as I might chaff under the impending digital future…being able to swap games without getting off my butt on my Series S has definitely spoiled me. I’ve been tempted by digital sales to “rebuy” a few...

It’s either Whirl or Rotorstorm in the image. But the most likely mold (Rotorstorm/Spinister), IIRC, doesn’t have provisions for that sort of under-cockpit weapons mounting. And nothing else is coming to mind for a deluxe/voyager attack helicopter in that style. If that is intended to be...

Oh, hey! The initial paint deco for Earthrise Optimus Prime slipped in there :p. I still miss those yellow eyes…

Feels like the show hit at the RIGHT time. Perhaps more than ever. A classic, hopeful, Star Trek? After what we got a decade ago with the film...who would have thunk it?

If I had Bulkhead already, I'm not sure the deco or revamped accessories would be enough. BUT...I don't have Bulkhead. And issues with mold and character interpretation aside..the new deco, extra accessory and changing the existing ones to solid plastic are a compelling change at the same...

I got the feeling that the Multiverse was the equivalent to "theoretical magic" in the MCU. Something that was speculated about, maybe dabbled in a little a bit (especially with the Time Stone in possession of the Sorcerer Supreme), but something deemed to difficult or dangerous to actually...

I put in a preorder for Springer, damn my completionism tick! I think it looks...okay. I think the issue for me is that there really isn't enough contrast. It all kind of "blends together", I think the grey should have been darker to offer a better contrast with the light green. Or some extra...

I mean, it's better than a Earthrise repaint, I'll give it that. I don't view it as an improvement over the prior uses of the mold, and as noted, BBTS STILL has her in stock nearly a decade later. I think it's more disappointing because Studio Series, as a whole, has been very good about...

That "concept" art was just that, concept. While much of it DID end up being produced, a bunch of it got left on the cutting room floor. Gears, Polar Claw, the Smilodon, Croc and Sabretooth Tiger, even the ability for the Maximals/Predacons to use the Fossilizers, got scrapped in the...

There have been rumors to that effect. Unless a really outstanding interpretation (which I doubt with less that Voyager cost structure, like what happened with Hot Rod), I find it hard to get too excited about another Arcee after 2 years of the existing ER mold, plus Legacy and BB Movie...

Keep in mind there ARE some of us who feel the same about the fossilizer. I'm buying the set anyway. I figure I can get rid of Impactor as easily as I got rid the extra micro figures with my GalvaTRON

I still prefer Recondo. A little reference to the shared history with GI Joe.

Just saying Montgomery Scott wore a red shirt and ended up having one of the longest lives of any of the human crew Members.

Entertainment Earth has posted new preorders for more Lightyear stuff. Mattel is doing a shockingly nifty job with this line. For the 5" fans, an iteration of the Armadillo Transport will be available, along with a Star Command Base...

The Energon canister is a nifty addition, and I’m eager to see the the weapons in better detail. But like the Energy rods included with Origins Bumblebee…their novelty is really dang limited since only a select few figures can even hold those sorts of accessories. And that feature has been...

Fixed that for ya :p ALL of the franchises cited in the sale had relatively high profile reboots over the past decade, and all were cited as "failing to meet expectations". Despite selling several million units each. I'm sure their screw up with the Marvel IP was a factor, but SquareEnix...

That's a clear throwback to what Shirley Walker did with Batman TAS. Something else is that I felt the film struck that nice "timeless" angle. Yes, everyone is using cellphones, but you also have cops that look like they stepped out of the 70s (for a VAST majority of the country, cops do NOT...

So, it seems at least some Florida residents realize that DeSantis's little spat with Disney would have VERY expensive consequences. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/florida-residents-sue-desantis-over-the-disney-dont-say-gay-debacle/1100-6503124/

And the last scene of the series seems to play into that. Heck of a way to set up another season. Also dig that Jake seems modeled after another TV/film character. Just what was shown feels a bit like a pastiche of 70s era foreign thrillers and spy dramas.
