I see a pile of clearance items here. Who’s signing off on this stuff? Maybe the new even higher prices are them banking on gouging the completists before this junk warms shelves. Is that really a strategy?

Yeah, it’ll be interesting to see how the youtube personalities respond on this batch too. I’m only intending to get Zanya and the SF guy at retail. I will likely end up with Hydro-Viper and Airtight (and maybe SE-DM, though she’ll need a new codename and bio) when they drop below $20. The rest...

https://toynewsi.com/278-61879 Ok… Themes of the show seem to be repaints, weird and… skinny Lenny cowboy and dinosaurs(?) :wtf: I kind of like the Special Forces guy, at first glance at least, but most of that stuff is NOT GI Joe.

“Smart” Post or weather related? We didn‘t get mail for two weeks after our first and second snowstorms that iced over our neighborhood, and UPS was out for delivery for about a week on a couple non-toy packages last week.

NV has apparently shipped, so I guess the others aren’t right behind. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Looks like my Night-Viper is processing at EE so I should get it in a week or so. Hopefully that means HnR and fCG won't be far behind. Also, Target has Desert Scorpion on sale for $27. Still not interested.

https://toynewsi.com/278-61788 That kind of came out of nowhere, at least for me. Cool looking in its own right I guess, but I never cared for the girl SE storyline, so I'll likely be passing on it. I do wonder if this is indicating a shift to including more comic characters going forward.

Oh man! I was ready to go buy it right now, but it's coming soon. I will keep in on my radar. That's totally up my alley, especially since I have all but exhausted a similar gear bundle I received from a benefactor a while back. ;) Vala armor vests are immediately superior simply because they...

https://toynewsi.com/278-61695 Hard pass on both. Each is too far out there in their own way. Seeing them lean into the same subgroups that sunk the OG and also seeing so much product headed to closeout stores lately feels no bueno. Momentum has waned and things seem to be trending downward...

My 21 year old son has tons of assembled Lego vehicles displayed on his shelving and also got a few new sets for Christmas. I love that he has those, and still loves getting and building them. But those are the only "toys" he has ever seriously collected. It has been a long time since I've seen...

That's really cool! I like kids who are young for their age. I was definitely one. We have way more time (when we are required) to be adults. Why not enjoy play and creativity for as long and as often as possible?

It's funny how that works. I never pushed my son either, but did gift him and his sisters a few figures and vehicles toward the end of the 25th period. He was the least interested. My girls each at least humored me a little more, with some brief interest in the toys, comics and/or cartoon. The...

Your last paragraph is spot on. In terms of figs, I've also surpassed my childhood collection twice now, with better detailed and articulated versions of the characters each time. The 25th/ROC/POC/etc. ran its course and I sold it off. Eventually the CS will likely suffer the same fate (or...

Yeah, I saw that the Full Force podcast was saying that too regarding the silhouette. I have a hard time believing it though. Toy Habits is also speculating it's the retro WB that had leaked. I know they have made dumb decisions before, but native knock off WB would rise to the top. I can't...

Yeah, I never cared for Airtight and this one isn't going to change that. Are they really not packing a spare hand for Hydro-Viper? So the left hand is useless. I guess that works out since they aren't including a decent primary weapon anyway. I was looking forward to seeing how they would...

They look legit from here! :thumbsup: Definitely brings the nostalgia!

Looks great from the pic!

So I decided to go ahead and use one of the appropriately sized missile trail effects from the Rattler to give the MMS an action element. Wouldn’t you know it? The connector is different so no dice. Really, Hasbro? Really? That’s disappointing and poor planning.

Lol, my experience is very similar with them, Marshall's and Burlington. Although my hands get a good sanitizer bath after WM and Ollie's as well. Can't be too safe. People are nasty... 🤷‍♂️

Apparently Retro CoCo and/or Stalker are showing up at Ross for $9 if anyone is still in the market for those.
