One of us, one of us! :LOL:

Got the rest of the latest retro wave in today from Pulse. More RnR's for fodder, Vipers, and Mindbender. The good doctor looks exactly like the Con version (supposedly has the cobra logo on the cape, but I haven't opened him yet). But I only had one of the originals, so I needed one for the...

Yeah, the Spirit comparison is somewhat apt... ...but what if Spirit had been a $35 deluxe with a giant warbonnet headdress, a tomahawk, and fully adorned buckskin tunic? We would have all reacted... "WTH is this nonsense!" That's pretty much where I am. It's too much money, and it's too...

I assume Budo will not be a $25 figure. I assume with all that gear, he's going to be at the $35 Snowjob/Tripwire price point.... if we're lucky and he's not at the $50 Maximum Spider-Man price. But I have no use for him. He's a soldier in a ... period costume. Is he undercover in a play...

Hard pass, even on sale.

I wanted to like retro RnR a lot, given that the first version required a lot of painting and de-tattooing to make him look acceptable. But alas, Hasbro has managed to f#$% him up to the point that I'll have to make a hybrid of the two figures to get something better. On the plus side, the...

Retro RnR arrived 2x... AMZ shipped them in an envelope :cautious: . One has a dog-eared card, one has a crushed bubble. Hopefully the one I ordered from Pulse isn't pre-destroyed by a forklift or something. Also, the card art is weird. It's printed exceptionally dark. The intern doing the...

I just got the two chase figures from the first wave of Auldey non-transforming figures (still waiting on ShowZ to get the full wave in-stock)... Sunstorm and Prime (toy version). I thought the Prime was merely a premium metallic deco until I realized he came with G1 toy stickers, has yellow...

Retro RnR is in the wind from AMZ, and I know some places are shipping retro Viper (deepdiscount had him "in stock" earlier in the week, but I didn't feel like shifting my orders). And AMZ has shifted up the Blowtorch/Footloose/Darklon/FragViper wave to a 7/22 release date... so while it's not...

I think their Joe delay is helping them tremendously... by not having anything ready to ship right now, they can play the wait-and-see game with all the product that comes out this fall. While I don't think that's the reason for the delay directly, the timing is stellar having a product gap...

Anticipated Hasbro price hikes starting tomorrow: $30 Joes?! $22 4" SW?! I mean, I get it. Tariffs and inflation affect everything. I'm still in full support of shaking up the economic world order even if it costs me a lot more to be a collector, but I do wonder how many people will just...

Just a heads up, just over a day left in the Transformers comics compendium box set kickstarter. They have the full US Marvel run in HCs, the full UK run in HCs, or what they call THE TRANSFORMERS: TIL ALL ARE ONE Box Set, which seamlessly weaves together the US and UK stories for the ultimate...

Huh, I just ordered when I got the email from pulse. I guess the TVC stuff wasn't in high demand. I didn't even look at release dates. I've waited 45 years for better OT figures, a couple of months isn't going to matter.

Really? What were the hot items? I only ordered TVC stuff from the OT... cantina set, sand/snow/scout trooper set, new ANH Obi-Wan, and the ANH Stormtrooper with a different cardback (still has the same VC231 number, but the card is different.... WTF Mattel!) Not sure what was the...

Coco needs to unbutton his pants and let the stomach relax at the mega buffet!

I don't think so... but like I said, I'm behind on my comic reading so I can't say for sure. I think he's talking to the other characters I cropped out of that page.

I get a figure being scarce or short-packed or whatever, but it's a completely different thing when the manufacturer's own premiere paid-membership outlet can't get *initial* stock. I wasn't late to the party, I didn't pick up a scrap figure after it sold out and someone randomly canceled a...

While I haven't gotten around to reading the Skybound TF series yet, it's neat that NewAge is already making a figure variant of their Prime to go with the storyline where OP ends up with Megatron's gun arm. It's pretty unique. I need another NA Prime like I need a hole in the head (I have...

Pulse still has not gotten their original stock of Dial-Tone. My order from the initial minutes of the Pulse Premium PO window has not been fulfilled. If not for Amazon, I wouldn't have one at all. It's weird for one figure to be MIA from the rest of the wave, especially for this long. I got...
