This week:
Bottom Rung (Donkey Kong) - in which you climb the lowest ladder.

Pitcher Perfect (Kid Icarus) - in which you go shopping.

Shoo, Lakitu! (Super Mario Bros) - in which you run through 4-1.

Power Grab: Missile (Metroid) - in which you get screwed.

Poppin' Wheelies (Excitebike) - in which you complete a course.

You've got a week to earn your trophies. The Silver was easy, the Gold took me a couple tries because of Excitebike somehow still not being something I can do well.

Posted 10 years ago! The Hasbro Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Twinstrike not given US distribution - Hasbro was playing around with the idea of taking the smaller, simpler designs and selling them internationally at Deluxe sizes and price points. They weren't super articulated, but they were sturdy and looked cool. No regrets. We'd get another version of this guy for Power of the Primes that could actually combine, but it was unlikely back in 2014-2015 so I happily bought this little monster guy. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!

NPR reports "The 10% U.S. tariff on imports of most British goods will remain," so lower your expectations for deals made with other countries.

NBC reported Trump gives break to Rolls-Royce cars but threatens more tariffs on Mattel toys.

Adafruit, the people behind the Raspberry Pi boards, write High tariffs become 'real' with our first $36K bill. Numerous companies in the toy world have been silently paying tariffs on their goods for several weeks, it is possible more companies will share their experiences going forward.

A classic, tweaked! The Mattel Hot Wheels Classic TV Series Batmobile Tooned is a super-deformed take on a classic TV car. Choro-Q fans, rejoice, this isn't that but it's a step in a fun direction. There are a few versions of this car, and I gotta say I kinda love it. Go get one of these. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Newish! Hasbro Transformers Age of the Primes Voyager Prima Prime is the Primest of the Primes, and is mostly gray primer color with some blue highlights. The head looks a lot like a bot from the old cartoon, the body and coloring looks like one of the designs for Prima you've seen in books or, more likely, TFWiki. It's neat. It's a new character. It's going to be very interesting to see if fans grab on to the relatively obscure 21st century backstory characters, but I hope they will and that we'll see more with them. Read on!
