Both were just poor offerings all around. The Rancor ignored the most obvious and most wanted incentives and just offered redecoed existing figures. Among other misses. The Saber they showed off in public wasn’t ready for prime time and both blades bent downward. lol

Delivery 📦 Brand new SW Black Series release.

I’m referring to the 3 & 3/4” mainstay line. A line that constantly used to release vehicles. That Legacy MFalcon worked at retail during multiple retail releases & increased pricing up to $400. The BS wasn’t exactly the brand it is today during those early years. 🍎/🍊

X-MEN ‘97 was the top production from Marvel in years. Now, the perfect CABLE figure is on the way. I ordered bundles.

What's up? 2019 saw 9 films gross $1B+ worldwide. Over the last 6 years, only 10 Hollywood releases have hit $1B+. That's what's up. And that’s the seismic shift no one wants to talk about.

After ditching video games Best Buy realizes they still need the category to drive online search traffic so they will let 3rd party sellers pay to add the products to their site. While scalpers win a new venue to sell to the desperate. Yay.

And Target. Hate it as well. Always have to sort any search to filter out the garbage.

Delivery 📦 Long time guilty film and soundtrack pleasure from 1980 now in glorious 4k.

Great to see a Lego Batman game finally returning. Hasn’t been any Lego DC Super Heroes game since the one I worked on released in 2018.

Torn on this one. No fan of two packs where paired up characters don’t make sense as a set incentive. Basketball set made sense. This one? Meh. Plus purchased both versions fairly recently. And there are no Wolvie “fangs” in X ‘97. But the alt heads are great.

Since I was at HQ in the ‘00s, here’s a simple formula to get Target back to basics: 1) COMPETE with WM on pricing essentials. They stopped caring about this. 2) BE IN STOCK! 3) LEAD on trend, design, fashion 4) LESS generic own brands 5) BUILD new stores again in suburbs.

Agree. Storm with Forge was the obvious move. But alas.

Looks like my SW Cantina Haslab Lab has shipped. 🙌

Nah.

My kingdom for a studio that can tell stories featuring comic book characters WITHOUT the use of a multiverse plot crutch.

👇CORRECT. Infinity War & Endgame are the most fun MCU films but Winter Soldier is peak and goes above and beyond green screen fluff. It’s laser focus on character drives narrative and it’s what any of these writers should aspire to when it comes to screenwriting.
