Pretty sure this is a big blow to a company like Paizo. Hasbro doesn't care , but the rest likely do.

Could be. I don't really know enough about the TTRPG biz or even who paizo is. I just figured if you were giving them to shops on consignment, your cost to print a book is probably pretty low.
But isn't hasbro going bankrupt too? Or was that a pleasant dream I had?

Not sure on Hasbro but they definitely have way bigger pockets than Paizo. Paizo makes the Pathfinder games .

Not the cartoon, but definitely the package art for the action figures and vehicles. Those definitely had the same style.
I know it's off topic but I remember the last vehicle I think I ever got for GI Joe's which I collected a lot of was the Cobra hammerhead. Like I got it for 13 or 15 bucks from Walmart back around 90. I just remember you used to have to put all the vehicles together and follow the instructions as a kid. How many toys make kids do that nowadays.
They really were my favorite way back when.

I had all constructicons. I don't think I ever got them put together into the big one.
But a friend had voltron (the cool one with the lions) and we constantly put them together and took them apart.

Had a bunch of transformers too but I never had the constructicons. I too knew a kid that had all the Voltron stuff though, it was all the tiger deals, but I remember watching the cartoon that had the different planes and other vehicles that was another Voltron.

Yes that was the gay voltron. I bet bubbles preferred that one.

I didn't have many G.I. Joe vehicles, but one year for Christmas (I guess '87) my parents got me the Mobile Command Center. It was a 3-story high tank thing. It was dumb, but I remember playing with it in the garden out front of my house. A kid up the street from me had the Aircraft Carrier. That thing was fucking huge.

Haha, that's awesome. I always wanted one of the Cobra Terror Dromes. I remember they used to have the little mini catalogs the vehicle packages and you would just sit and scour those as a kid for whatever was out there, but most of the time a toy stores never had any of the really big crazy deals.
I do remember going to some kid's birthday party when I was young and he had one of the aircraft carriers with the f14 tomcat. Damn thing took up like a giant folding table. I think I remember seeing it in a Toys r Us One Time and even back in the '80s it was like a hundred bucks.
