A little later than planed, The Lock-In casts a Wildbill over the comings and goings of SDCC 2015 over beer.
Quite a lot of beer.
Hear the beer here!

Repaints are a natural part of most Transformers lives. For every Optimus there is a potential Nemesis Prime. For every Starscream you KNOW there's going to be a Skywarp and a Thundercracker. Even the Power Core Combiner line had repaints.......  OK lets get this out of the way straight away. The next few weeks reviews will be shorter than usual . I make no apologies about this The next 5 reviews (including this one) are all repaints. Wave 3 was the “save some cash” wave. There was no “alternative head”, no “re-molded chest” anywhere here. All of Wave 1 was repainted and the drones/Mini-Cons where taken from their partners and spread around the rest. Some worked some didn't. All of the problems/good things from their Wave 1 origins. So with that out of the way shall we get into it?
So the first Wave 3 Commander set is Windburn and Darkray  
Skylanders is a "toys to life" video game series published by Activision. Games in the series are played by placing character figures on the "Portal of Power", a device that reads the figures' tags through NFC and "imports" the character represented by the figure into the game as a playable character. There are eight elemental categories to which a character, known as a Skylander, can belong: earth, air, fire, water, magic, life, tech, and undead, later adding in three new elements in Skylanders: Trap Team: Kaos, Light and Dark.
 Well, SDCC this weekend means that Stu and Tricky have a bunch of Transformers news this week, won't you join them? Well, You can! After the jump!
 This week, The Past Posters is looking at some adverts or the various games that came out for the TMNT frnchis. My personal favourite is the Tournament Fighters one... it's so very, very 90s.
 In the way that we do, we play around with the format by having no topic.... and finding topics. Spoiler Warnings abound for Flash, Arrow and a lost Bee.
Jump this way to listen to what happens to the bee.  Hmm wrestling reference.... hmmmmmm..... What could I use in connection between wrestling and a guy called MUDslinger.... Hmmmm Nope I got nothing this week. There is no connection AT ALL. Ahh well lets just get into the review.
