That is atrociously ugly. I could sculpt better looking likenesses out of prison soap with a shiv.

That’s the most non-blurry picture you’ve ever taken. Good job.

Anyone pick up the Super7 TMNT figures? I'm thinking about getting one, but they're pricey.

Man...Super7 isn't what it used to be.

Nope but those thundercats figures by super 7 have me interested to buy but i've heard the quality of them is awful.

You know how a fruit roll-up looks before you peel off the plastic part? The see through plastic. That is what I was saying

Walmart is going all in on replacing Toys r Us. They have Transformers retro, He-Man retro, G.I. Joe retro, and even The Real Ghostbusters retro figures. Really surprised to see them on the shelf the other day.

Toy companies just want to keep revisiting the past, and, hopefully, assured nostalgia-fueled sales, but, I feel that the industry lacks originality and creativity. I'd rather see something new and different than the umpteenth iteration of Optimus Prime and Snake-Eyes.

Yeah! I saw the GIJoe stuff the other day. I like those toys but I was never a Joe collector as a kid. I was all Transformers so it's nice to see some of the G1 reissues there.

I guess I'm the idiot who gushes over it. Granted Transformers and G.I. Joe has been reissued to death , and He-Man to a lesser degree. This was the 1st time I saw The Real Ghostbusters reissued. It was one of the last toys I got that I really wanted. Kind of a last hurrah before growing up. So, it holds a special place in my heart along with Transformers.

I can't even comment on new toys IMO because the toy world is so different and strange compared to when I was a kid. I think electronics is beating out toys for kid's attention. The only thing that seems similar, new toys wise, is tie in toys for a movie, and most seem to sell like crap.

Me either. Only watched G.I. Joe when nothing else was on, but still cool to see. Might get one if I see it on clearance.



I think Wal-Mart is doing a good job reissuing Transformers G1 one or two every season. It's mostly going to the nostalgia grown ups anyways, and it's easy to get overwhelmed and quit bothering.

Do Amiibos count? I have about a dozen of the things I need to offload at some point without just throwing them away for a fraction of what I paid for them

One of my old toys i got in Japan when i was little kid. Lost the ship when we moved up to the states. The arm was broken/stolen from an ex-friend. This was one of the coolest toys i had.

Wow, really? My store is the opposite. We're flooded with wfc, but get G1 sparingly. Guess it depends where you're at.

Pretty much but in general hasbro distribution is terrible to begin with.Like with wfc,earthrise,bumblebee and soundwave i'll be lucky if i can find them locally since there walmart exclusive.
