So, we have some photos from yesterday, but I’m having trouble getting access to the cloud storage. Add to that a cable modem that is having problems staying connected, and… yeah. Yay, computers. Hope to resolve this soon!

Toy Fair 2019: Hasbro Announces Transformers/Ghostbusters Ecto-1
“Dogs and cats, living together — Mass Hysteria!” That was pretty much the reaction this morning when the brand new HasbroPulse.com suddenly provided an item listing for an 80’s Kid’s Crossover Dream: An official Transformers Ecto-1 from GHOSTBUSTERS! Ectotron is a collaboration between Hasbro, Takara, Columbia Pictures, and General Motors to produce a robot that converts into the hearse-turned-ghostbusting-vehicle from the popular movie that surely can’t be turning thirty five years old…. Holy cow. This is nuts. This is amazing. This is Ecto Cooler returning Big. To top it off, IDW announced a five part miniseries featuring Ectotron that will

Anything that promotes the current Transformers media is a good proposition.

With the death of Toys R Us as we know it (I’m still wary of Geoffrey’s Toy Box and what it actually will be), Target recently announced plans to expand their toy selection in 500 stores. Four aisles near their book section would be removed and replaced with toys. It would involve a little play area and some larger toys, the kinds usually found at TRU. At least two Target stores near me started taking out the existing aisles, so I knew I’d see the new toys soon. Lo and behold, we have new toys! I don’t know if this

After last week’s interesting leak of BotBots, we finally get to see exactly what we’re dealing with. And what we’re dealing with is the cutest batch of Transformers since… Uh… Hmm. Not sure we’ve had any Transformers this cute. Been almost thirty five years, it’s about time we did. BotBots is a new line to be fully unveiled at London MCM Comic Con later this week, and it looks like it will give Shopkins a run for it’s money. Gone are Autobots and Decepticons. In their place are Energon-infused every-day items such as fast food, bathroom fixtures, tech gadgets, and

Sadly, the news we feared came true yesterday, and Toys “R” Us will be closing all their US and UK stores soon, unless a miracle occurs. I have many thoughts on what happened, but that is not the point of this post. No, I want to share my memories of being a Toys Us kid, and I bet you do too. So I’ve set up a Tumblr blog to take your submissions, and I am also accepting stories, pictures, and video via email. Please join me at http://ididntwanttogrowup.tumblr.com or email tru@asmzine.com. My thanks to Andrew LoVuolo for the header graphic.
