I know I should be upset about this. But honestly? I saw it coming ( Read more... ) -
I feel like I'm 6 again...
I went to Walmart the other day, and walked by the toy section. There were huge displays for Transformers.
Transformers.I haven't seen Transformers for sale in years... save the Beast Wars ones, which I'm not counting. Definitely not Ironhide, Starscream, and their ilk ( Read more... ) -
