Bad news for collectors who collect boxed toys. We now have images of the Ramhorn/Bommbshell G1 retro pack and it is very different from the previous two Walmart exclusive G1 retro Insecticon offerings. As with Soundwave and Blaster, this goes for the G1 box aesthetic, so it will be at odds with those. It is a cool box though, as it has both the Decepticon and Autobot colours due to there being both an Autobot and Decepticon in the set. And both happen to be rhinoceros themed, with Bombshell - Read More

Simple question to start us off: Have you seen the Star Raiders line at your local US Walmart? I ask because the answers given to that question so far have been nothing but frustrating or confusing. While Walmart has gotten its stock for distribution, they've only used it so far to fulfill online orders. And there's a lot of stock online with both Road Pig and the Thundertron leader set still available for purchase.
That last bit is a rarity as Walmart will sell out of exclusives online, - Read More
