Not sure if this has been reported yet but a bunch of GameStops are closing nationally.

This can't really be a surprise either. Their business model has been under fire for as long as I can remember. My first job after college was managing what was then called an Electronics Boutique that was eventually bought out by Gamestop. The only difference back then was that the store was 50% computer software and 50% console games. Even way back then in the late 90s they made the majority of their money on re-selling pre-owned game trade ins. Now that barely anyone actually buys physical copies of games any more, I honestly don't know how they've stuck around this long.

I just stopped by one last Friday that was literally in the process of closing. I'm afraid more in my area will go. This one was a standalone that was part of a strip mall. The ones inside malls seem to be OK so far..

I'm hoping the one that I frequent stays open. It's here in a college town (Penn State Main Campus, University Park), so I'm betting the student traffic is enough that it'll survive. Not sure about the other two about 45 minutes south of me.

This is a pleasant surprise! A new live stream coming, and only three days away. Good stuff!

Wouldn't it be great if they reveal something that makes a bunch of us have to alter our Top 10 votes? Like Rachel Summers, Deathbird, Attuma, Feral, M'Baku, Swordsman, Mantis, Jack of Hearts or Skurge?

Eliminating Rachel, Feral and Skurge would open up three long held spots to new blood!

NWH Electro probably is revealed here. I don't expect much MCU outside that though. Could be anything

NWH Electro is supposed to be up for preorder before the end of the month according to the EE Drop Zone hints, so this seems like a logical place for him to be shown off.

Bring on <all of the things I want>!

@stephenwdavis Absolutely. Dying to see how they handle that beastie. And finally, *finally* have the complete line-up from Capcom’s Marvel Super Heroes in figure form. Been waiting since the 90s…

Since the Daredevil: Born Again trailer dropped today (hype) I wonder if they might be showing off the rumored Disney+ wave? Here's that lineupe from the leak thread, courtesy of Beamish:

  • Daredevil (Born Again)
  • Punisher (Born Again)
  • Kahhori
  • Captain Carter (1601)
  • Loki
  • Ouroboros with Miss Minutes
  • Werewolf By Night

It wouldn't be the most exciting stream for me as a comic collector but the timing would make sense. And I'll buy the heck out of a Kahhori figure.
