After a couple of false starts, we can, sadly, confirm that the US Toys R Us locations have begun their liquidation sales as of March 23rd.

On the Transformers end of things, one big question right now is what happens to Studio Series Thundercracker? It's unlikely stores will receive further deliveries, and aside from an isolated few sightings, this exclusive doesn't look like it'll get to see the light of day. Keep reading for more.

TFormers Presents: Why, Transformers? Episode 1 - Why Are There Only Two Titans Return Box Sets?
ExVee - Thursday, September 21, 2017
We're excited to launch a new feature this week, called "Why, Transformers?" - or "WhyTF?" for catchier branding purposes. This new video series features Eric Crownover (aka EricCrowbar) joining Chris (aka ExVee) to discuss a question each week around a topic of interest. For the first episode, Chris and Eric talk about why we believe there were once going to be as many as four Titans Return box sets, and why we ultimately only got two - even though those two that came out look to have performed significantly better than the Combiner Wars sets. Click through to watch the episode right now!

Toys R' Us this morning has released an official press release about the status of their US business. The news around the US division of Toys R Us only continues to worsen. After word hit about a second series of store closings in addition to a list already encompassing hundreds of locations, Bloomberg is this afternoon reporting that Toys R Us is now planning a liquidation of its operations, which would likely mean the final end of the toy retailer in this country after attempts to achieve restructuring of their debts - or find an interested buyer - have proven unsuccessful. This might be one reason Studio Series Thundercracker - not due until late April - is starting to be found on store shelves. Keep reading for a link back to Bloomberg's article. 
Chris Ryall has verified via his Twitter account today that he'll be leaving his position with IDW comics in the near future. This comes in advance of an official announcement from the company, and was in fact discovered even before Ryall himself could make a statement on the subject. Ryall has held the title of Chief Creative Officer for several years in addition to his run as Editor In Chief. This is the second significant change to have occurred relatively recently in IDW as Ted Adams changed roles within the company, with Greg Goldstein assuming Adams' former title.

Toy Fair is a time to spark imagination and anticipation among we in the toy collecting segment of this fandom. Or it should be; not all years really work out that way, unfortunately. This year seems to be having a degree of success, although perhaps not exactly in the way Hasbro's designers and marketing teams might have been going for. Previously, I explained some of my concerns over what 2019's Generations might be based on the little bit that was said at Toy Fair. But there are ways a big change in process could be beneficial, and I'd like to talk now about one vision of this I have which could be pretty cool. Keep reading to find out how crazy my ideas can get!
