I know you’re expecting your morning review, but we had a slight weapons malfunction. But uh, everything is perfectly alright now. We’re fine. We’re all fine here now, thank you. How are you?
Once we have this radiation leak locked down, we will post our daily review (hopefully by 10 AM ET). Thank you for your patience.

This is pure speculation. Games of “connect-the-dots” are fun, but can also lead to massive disappointment. I thought I had sniffed out that a new Stormtrooper was coming during the first run of the Vintage Collection and was crushed when we learned it was a repack / retool of the VOTC figure. So, at the risk of setting myself up for disappointment, do signs point to a product launch event to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back next year?

Thank you to Bantha Skull reader Michelle for this alert. There was a report on Twitter of fresh cases of Retro Collection arriving at Target.
Update: It looks like this might be a case of left over stock.

Maris Brood gallery and review>>First they tried $9.99. Then $7.00. Neither worked to move a SINGLE figure in my observations. So the price keeps dropping.
We need our Transformers brethren and sistren to step up their game, or at least stay vigilant. The Unicron HasLab campaign is starting to fall behind the pace of last year’s Sail Barge campaign.
