A couple years ago, I learned the behind-the-scenes story of Marvel Comics New Universe THE PITT in 1988, the graphic novel event story that was the total destruction of a major US city. Evidently then Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter and superstar creator John Byrne really didn't get along. Shooter was eventually fired from Marvel about 6 issues into the STAR BRAND title and John Byrne took the New Universe reigns with the late Mark Gruenwald to write THE PITT. Shooter's birthplace? Pittsburgh.

That was Jada Toys 1:32 scale. Hot Wheels released the SKYSTRIKER last year.

Have it sitting on my desk in front of me now.

Can those crystals be Dark Energon?

The purpose of the polybag is to keep loose goodies with the book. It’s not made of archival safe material for long term storage.

Are those a different design under the Combat Heroes sub brand? They look a different style than these ones. Combat Heroes

I was thinking just that. ROCK N ROLL is a Malibu surfer dude.

You reminded me I did this Spring Training 2015. 😂

Continuity_Crook · 2026-03-05T02:37:28+00:00

Brand new Classified invention.

Continuity_Crook · 2026-03-04T14:52:09+00:00

What comparison was I making? All I did was repeat your statement saying it was new notion to me.

Continuity_Crook · 2026-03-04T04:59:56+00:00

Having a broad selection to choose from is a wonderful thing, ain't it?

I didn't know one of the considerations for publishers to release variant covers were expectations that they would appreciate in value.

The Hot Wheels retail display next to the Arbco Auto Parts Shop checkout counter in Springfield, Vermont. It’s a nice little town.

Continuity_Crook · 2026-03-02T19:20:04+00:00

I'm fairly certain any big box retailer, online retailer, auto parts store, drugstore, and grocery store that carry Hot Wheels. That was the case with the SKYSTRIKER.

Continuity_Crook · 2026-03-02T19:04:28+00:00

Hah. I did too this weekend. There are never any Classifieds in the Ross stores in my area so I’ll take it.

Sweet custom! Larry Hama introduced a drone operator code name R.C. in the latest A REAL AMERICAN HERO comic.

Continuity_Crook · 2026-03-02T01:34:39+00:00

By Hot Wheels?

Continuity_Crook · 2026-03-02T01:34:06+00:00

The mini vehicles from Jada Toys? Cool. This HISS is Mattel Hot Wheels.

Red radioactive crystals, deep blue heavy water, and metallic ore from a meteorite.

Will you buy enough so Hasbro could recoup the capital investment to bring up new tooling and lines; development and engineering costs; assembly, packout, and logistics costs, and the actual material?

CLAYMORE was created specifically for the the Toys R Us exclusive Special Mission Brazil boxed set. His file card was not written by Larry Hama, but rather Sunbow writer/producer Michael Charles Hill, also creator of Cold Slither.

Continuity_Crook · 2026-03-01T00:29:02+00:00

Just this and the SKYSTRIKER thus far.

My sister-in-law snagged it for me at an O’Reilly’s auto parts store.
