Very welcome news IMO.

Transformers News - TFW2005

You can browse the different categories one by one there.

Right now, no way to filter out other items unless I manually create a page for it.

If there is enough feedback from multiple fans for a particular filter type, we will consider it.

Very grateful, ta.

Oh god... so many subforums.... But this is surely welcome!

This is very welcome. This will also be very helpful with categorizing all the 3rd party stuff.

What about KO's/ replicas?

KOs still get discussed in the KO mega thread - The Knock off transformers thread

Don't like the forum split at all. Makes it a hell of a lot harder to keep up on everything.

Thanks for reorganizing. I collect some 3rd party items but it felt like they were overshadowing the official Hasbro/TakaraTomy releases.

While I don't mind the split with 3rd party now being it's own forum, I do hope that the Third party forum will be put up under the 'Boards' link at the top of the page, much as News and Rumors (and Toys
* Movie Talk * Prime Talk * TFGD * B/S/T * Sightings * Toy Reviews * Fan Art * Comic Strips * Collections and * Podcast)
I usually check Radicons when I sign on (I'm a kitbasher first and foremost ^_^) but I've liked being able to just mouse over the Boards title and check News and Reviews and Sightings to quickly get to the other boards I check. Since the split has occurred can Transformers 3rd Party Discussion be added to that list?
After all this split occurred becuase there were so many posts being added...

Bad move. It makes it harder to find content when the same info is spread to different places. It was bad enough that Brave (fully licensed and official Takara) wasn't allowed in the toy reviews. One company or another, one toyline or another, I don't care, it's all Transforming toys.

All toy reviews are the same concept. They discuss the same issues and criteria. There's literally nothing different about them, so there's no reason to split them up. When I look at the reviews, I scroll down until I find a toy I'm interested in. I'm sure 3rd party haters can do the same. It's far easier for them to scroll, than to force us to open another window.

I don't care for movie or Beast Wars, but I wouldn't want those separated out.
