  1. Lego retiring most Transformers sets

    If you really want them I’d try online ordering. I know Entertainment Earth also carries Lego products. More than likely, this is a license expiration situation. And I’m not sure the Transformers sets have been significant enough for Lego to justify an extension.
  2. The new Transformers Deal Thread

    Target is having 20% off Transformers Action Figures this week. With the release of the animated film in theaters, it seems many stores might have refreshed stocks of the myriad of exclusives.
  3. Batman: Caped Crusader coming August 1

    Caped Crusader’s take on The Joker seemed heavily influenced by the OG Golden Age Joker, who wasn’t very…jovial…and was more a classical criminal mastermind. That said, I also wished they had retained some form of the rictus grin in his design. The cold, calculated personality combined with...
  4. Hasbr-uh-oh - Business and Tariffs Discussion

    More than likely. When Hasbro acquired Saban Brands (Power Rangers and all the “kid stuff”), I’d assumed (and has been borne out) that the acquisition included all the other stuff Saban had done, prior any other superseding ownership claim (ie, the 90s Mega Man cartoon was done by Ruby Spears...
  5. Hasbr-uh-oh - Business and Tariffs Discussion

    An amusing discovery found last night as I was perusing Amazon’s FAST channels: On Hasbro Legends, they were airing Transformers: War for Cybertron: Siege (the Netflix series). Netflix might have the show locked for on demand streaming, but I guess linear rights are full Hasbro now? And they...
  6. Ninja Turtles - Cowabunga!

    So, I guess Hasbro DOES have complete ownership of Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. I was watching Amazon’s Live TV stuff, and saw that Hasbro Legends had Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. And it’s on at the moment I’m typing this. I am amused by that *shrugs*
  7. G.I. Joe thread - 2027 Preorders begin

    A leak on eBay has revealed a new figure: the DIRE Hawk. Reusing assets from Raptor, this another entry in Crystal Ball’s D.I.R.E. menagerie. Assuredly a Walmart exclusive, like all the DIRE offerings have been. https://toyhabits.com/dire-hawk-gi-joe-classified-series-figure-discovered-on-ebay/
  8. Transformers the Movie 40th Anniversary Tour

    Fair enough, but as we were actually “among our people”, I think we were all a little freer in talking about the short. But I could just FEEL the deflation in the room as that short ran on. Which was sad because the producers slapped together a decent Peter Cullen memorial vid before the start...
  9. Blokees

    The Advent Calendar is up for preorder from Entertainment Earth, due in October. Retail will be $80 https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/blk71498?id=EN-911104722&utm_source=EN-911104722&utm_medium=affiliates Might actually get this. The weighted average of stuff I want/like is high...
  10. Transformers the Movie 40th Anniversary Tour

    We had a surprisingly full theatre, and I heard the confusion walking out. I talked to a handful of other fans. One used the term “complete nothing-burger”. I may have been hyperbolic, but I don’t feel by THAT much. It’s not about Cullen’s passing. It’s more about how the short has no clear...
  11. Transformers the Movie 40th Anniversary Tour

    My summation of Optimus Prime Awakening? <iframe src="https://giphy.com/embed/vc0KiL9PrHzLMZpjyh" width="480" height="336" style="" frameBorder="0" class="giphy-embed" allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="">via GIPHY</a></p> It was a pretentious nothingness. They COULD have explored the...
  12. Marvel's Wolverine PS5 by Insomniac

    I got the Byrne costume by preordering the physical version. Had a code flyer inside. Basically right after the first memory dive, Walter will introduce you to the new costume and at that point, the alternate costumes will be unlocked, though you DO have to “purchase” some with material caches...

  15. Marvel's Wolverine PS5 by Insomniac

    As a sucker to X-Men stuff, I got my physical copy coming in from Best Buy...at some point today. I did use some rewards I had no plans for, so I'm only paying $55 for it, so I guess I'm ahead of things based on early impressions I'm hearing.

    "Modern Era". The Joe fandom's colloquial term for design structure of the 2007-2014 4" GI Joe figures. New Sculpt/NuSculpt refers to the 2002-2006 3.75" figures that were built on the old-style o-ring structure. Super7 DID make 3.75" ReAction figures of MOTU...

    Who could have imagined we'd be able to buy a Cobra La Royal Guard Force Pack? Includes several accessories that skipped the single card, like the "tuner fork" and the booger blaster. "In Stock", but not available for purchase from Our Site Sponsor, Big Bad Toy Store...

    Helix. She was the “new hotness” introduced in IDW around 2009, got a figure or two in the tail end of the ME run. Almost GI JOe’s version of Windblade, except Windblade was deveoped into a real character.
  19. Hyrule Town Square

    Whenever people start fussing about the Zelda “canon” or “timeline”, my eyes cross, my head begins to ache, and I think back to when Takara tried their convoluted mess of trying to incorporate anything even tangentially related to G1 into a singular canon.
  20. Diablo 4, release date June 6th! Who else is getting it?

    Warning: Steevy’s stream of consciousness ahead! So, after reading stuff and watching the panel and interviews, I get the ”vibe” that D5 is going to skew more towards a mix of D3 and D2, but they also claim that the game will have the most classes of any prior release. Their new narrative...
