[@turtleboy4111]

Im here for the transformers, but you can never have enough turtles 😅

[@stephenthomas1492]

I clicked for Fraggle Rock. LOVED that show when I was young. That said, I find it difficult to understand why they keep producing so many Star Wars toys. That whole IP is played out and ruined.

[@timrice7317]

I like how the limbs are inverted on the third-party Constructicons.

[@dumpsterfire7916]

I'm in on that Missing Link KO Optimus Prime. Hopefully the price point won't be too brutal on the wallet.

[@Hustler281980]

50% of the Takara

[@CobraLaLaLa77]

I’ve seen it on AliExpress for $112

[@jasonbari5997]

I wish I had an official price on the Lewin metroplex, I pre ordered him but if he’s almost 2k I’m out. I’m not a huge fan of stylized figures and just want a MP scale metroplex

[@lonedragon3261]

Lucky. None of my Walmarts have carried MotU for over a year, and Classified has been gone for at least 6 months. And the one Target near me has had only the same 2 Keldors for 4ish months. Never seen the MotU/TMNT crossover in stores either.

[@joehenry9546]

I see all 3 of those by me. I don’t believe the MOTU TMNT stuff is selling well though.

[@Scotty-Z70]

I have not seen Sectaurs nor Roboforce at my walmart

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

I only saw them at the one

[@tmthor]

I think the nacelle lines would sell better in the toy department

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

True! They are also priced well

[@BlackArroToons]

Cool Fraggle Rock packaging and figures there of that animated series and puppet show. Thanks.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Some great ideas there

[@ZedMazaus480]

So you know Mike, to answer your question why Star Convoy Optimus Prime is so much cheaper than other titan classes. He is smaller than a normal titan class, and thus dropped his cost $50US. They didn't stuff it in commander class due to being to big and with all the accesories he comes with too. Including his minicon Hotrod the original figure came with that's actually larger than core class, but still smaller than deluxes. Some people suggest that this hotrod may be the next scale sized figure to replace core class. Buuuuuut that is just speculation at this point though without any conformations. He also comes with the final official 13th prime trailer that never got released. So for those that collected those past 12 trailers this is a must to complete the set.

Fraggle Rock Sproket is what is picking my attention, Mike. I probably buy it for my daughter. 😃💡👍

[@Roadpigjohn]

That new NECA comics Leatherhead is speaking to me. I like it. I will have to buy it.😃💡👍

[@unorthdoxcleric6953]

Just watched a guy Wrench on his Brand New Mondo Xman snapping his leg clean off. Was tottaly his fault which he admitted too and Mondo sent him a new figure free.

[@punaforager]

Six new Star Wars retro series were announced this week, not sure if it’s a multipack or tbey are individually sold.

[@punaforager]

Oh man, after having collected and nearly completing three color schemes of the newage dinobots, having completed Hasbro dinobots, and getting the magic square dinobots as they come out… I’m done with dinobots, I think my son would even raise an eyebrow if I bring another grimlock to this house. Skipping the g2 grimlock due to redundancy.

[@frankierivera5451]

The tmnt ghost brothers are neca online 1st to sell it will be available later on at other places plus im in on the ko ML to keep my original ML in package

[@johnlatella674]

Thank you Mike hope u get well soon, u sounded sick a.f.

[@raiders7294]

NewAge Arcee looks that good with the backpack upgrade kit.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Yep NewAge did great work

[@MikeD974]

I got the first 2 in the mecha invasion Devastator and they are alpt of fun I'm also in on the mmc Devastator. As far as star convoy he's the only 1 I passed on for the money id rather the MMC version

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

Blackarachnia's gonna have to be gentle when she's united with her beau.

[@williamray6892]

Great video, I did pre-order the aireal bots. I ordered them from bigbadtoystore and bestbuy. Only because I pre-ordered scorpinok from gamestop 4 years ago and it never came in. Bought him at a toy show. I pre-ordered beachcomber from tf source 2 years he never came in. Bought him in Florida after tfcon. I also pre-ordered devcon from bigbadtoystore a year ago and he hasn't come in yet. So I just decided from here on out if pre-ordered anything I'd do it from 2 sites and hope the item shows up. And if it does I'll cancel it from the other site. Distribution is rough now adays. Lol

[@russelllemieux]

[@IsaidQUIETnHERE]

Skeleton crew has a Goonies vibe. It's not terrible and it's not great..meh

[@manuedwards6959]

Pronounced G-Z

[@T80091]

What the hell are sectars and who would buy them. It’s a crap

[@DragoonMS]

• That box for the Missinglink Convoy KO...heh heh heh heh heh...who knew Optimus was a Power Ranger?? 😏🤣 • 4:50 ...that Grimlock ain't out yet!? Wow. • 5:09 BFB got a Blackarachnia now? Wait, didn't they do one before? Or was that someone else? 🤔🤔🤔 • 6:03 Wouldn't be the first time something had to be sold and shipped in multiple parts. Anybody remember the Planet X WFC/FoC Trypticon or the FansToys Omega Supreme, for instance? • 14:36 Yup, as stated, it's smaller than normal. Which is odd that they decided to grow a brain and have it at a lower price point. How so? Well, CW Devastator and PotP Predaking were both 160 when they first came out, and they were smaller than typical Titan class peeps as well. (Not counting TR Trypticon, that was just dumb design decision to not have him rival Metroplex & Fort Max) • 15:28 Yeah, THIS is the G2 Grimmy we've been lookin' for. Buuuuuut, no shade on that one in the Legacy Evolution Toxitron Collection. And yeah, Takara absosmurfinlutely ain't doin' it, they never even bothered to do the rest of the Dinobots. • 16:11 Bump of Chicken Convoy, or as I like to call it, Shattered Glass Thundercracker in disguise. Jeez...they should've stopped with the cool light blue repaint of TR Bumblebee they did. • 17:04 A mainline Overcharge. And yeah, TF Wiki had a similar joke about the original eHobby repaint of G1 Blitzwing that's supposedly based on the Diaclone figure (except they went with gray for the eHobby and silver for Legacy United, when that's supposed to be white). 😏 • 20:56 At least Ballsmart has the BALLS to put NECA stuff on clearance, cuz Target sure ain't tryna do that. • 22:54 *I* certainly have more interest in the Retro Classified. Just been stupid hard to find in stores. Duke & Scarlett are on my radar, but I later learned that there's a Baroness that seems to be out of print already, as well as a Lady Jaye that's out of print already. Never even knew those two had Retro versions!! • 24:51 Huh. "Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock", eh? There better be a show or something to go with it, that sounds sick!! Sprockett needs to be a LOT bigger, though. • 26:30 This two-pack doesn't really interest me. Tells me that Hasbruh (and current CEO Chris Cocks) has no faith in that kinda badass disguised Luke on his own. Then again, they pretty much have no faith in any of their products nowadays. Just ask Power Rangers... • 31:06 Could also be that it's just a crappy show, too.
