Need to get caught up when I decide to renew my D+ sub.

NES CRABBIE ATTACK (2024)
Self-serving plug time! I'm also a homebrew NES developer. My game "Crabbie Attack" has a special release at Midwest Gaming Classic this weekend. I gave it a G1 themed box as a rare chase variant. Only 25 were made! I am taking time off for the show. See you next week!
SIEGE RATCHET (2019)
One of the main cast members of the Netflix "War for Cybertron" series, Ratchet's toy was relegated as a retail-exclusive release. In the United States, he could only be found at Walgreens.
FUCKING CLEAR PLASTIC. EVERY GOD DAMN TIME I LIKE A TOY
Another little treat for the “AI is inevitable” crowd.
Also inevitable? Lawsuits, and your AI “work” being shit-canned forever.
This won’t be the last one. Proud of Kelly Carlin for taking these bozos down.

Just added Shodo-XX Decade, DiEnd, and Valkyrie to the sales thread.

Still forever grateful POTP finally gave us the rest of the Dinobots in Classics/Generations
POWER OF THE PRIMES SLUG (2017)
The Dinobots made their return in the Transformers Prime Wars Trilogy with a secret combiner mode.
Mail day! And the Comic Book team up I never knew I wanted until now.

NETFLIX SIEGE MEGATRON (2020)
Megatron got a really nice silver paint upgrade in his Wal-Mart reissue. He comes with two captive Autobots to act as his Targetmasters.
BEAST WARS TRANSMETALS 2 MEGATRON (1999)
The ultimate version of Beast Wars Megatron! TM2 Megs saw a revisit recently in the Legacy toyline, but there's something awe-inspiring about this original. This mold was repainted as RID Cryotek.
REVEAL THE SHIELD MEGATRON (2011)
I *LOVE* this toy! We thought we'd never get a gun-based Megatron again in the US, but then we got this surprise. Despite its small size, it is a great representation of Megatron in both modes, and fun to transform.
COLLECTORS' CLUB MAGAZINE #64 (2015)
A little bonus to Megatron Week. This edition of the FunPub Transformers Club newsletter covers Frank Welker's induction into the TF Hall of Fame. Welker may have one of the longest lists of credits in all of entertainment.
RID 2000 MEGA-OCTANE (2002)
The "Scramble City" combiners started in the US in 1986. It is amazing to see them see releases continue 16 years later as part of the RID series. Mega-Octane was the only RID deluxe that didn't confirm to the oval-bubble due to his shape and accessories.
BEAST MACHINES MIRAGE (2000)
One of the first basics released for Beast Machines, meaning one of the first return-to-vehicle-Transformers since the Beast Era began. Mirage has a great futuristic race car mode, and a sharp robot mode as well. A repaint was part of an RID 2000 set.
CLASSICS ULTRA MAGNUS vs SKYWARP (2007)
This was a tough one to locate at retail. Demand for this set was high as this was the only way you could get Skywarp in the US. Skywarp would continue to be a 2-pack veteran in Siege and Earthrise.
Playmates Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutations line will launch late summer 2024.
Revealed by comicbook.com - bit.ly/49LWzEO
G1 Override. I had trouble keeping up with G1 accessories (including weapons) as a kid. I loved that Override's were built in.
Midwest Gaming Classic is going to be huge for us! First up, our very own Toby the Turtle will become an actual toy building block set! More to come!

New addition to the Ratchet shelf.
I have to give this ebay seller points for cleverness. I've seen all sorts of things used for padding but never bags of chips/popcorn. :lol
Added Kingdom Dinobot and Legacy Tarantulas.

Bumping the sales thread. Removed sold and changed some prices.

@bladeraider.bsky.social Just got notice that BBTS cancelled my ST Prodigy Janeway pre-order. Not surprising after Playmates said they are backing out of ST figures. Couldn't remember if you pre-ordered one as well.
Still jealous GS was able to snag one for $50 at a convention. :lol
TFC MEGATRON (2002)
How about another theme week? This time it's the tyrannical leader of the Decepticons: Megatron! This Japanese G1 reissue became difficult to import into the States due to evolving laws with toys resembling real guns. Great Pat Lee art for the box front!
My nephew has made a discovery.
BEAST MACHINES SNARL (2000)
In like a lion...
