Also exciting, the slides from the PeteÕs Robot Con: The Making of a Club & Convention Exclusive panel.

Maybe it's for the birds.

In many ways, this is one of the best exclusives. It's a weird, branded thing that you will love if you get it and may not miss if you don't. It has a skate board and skate ramp. Also, it's really reasonably priced at $50. You'll want a closer look at this one, particularly his new tiny buddy Shreddicus Maximus.

Highlights include that 2018 will be Fun Publications' final G.I. Joe convention. Hasbro has no plans to return Joe to retail stores until a movie. New club figures were revealed like Extensive Enterprises Tomax. Hascon will have an event that boasts the "Largest gathering of G.I. Joe creators ever assembled."

You can find these at Amazon or HobbyLink Japan or eBay, but it's worth researching prices before buying - some are going for a big markup on one marketplace but not another, and many are long sold out. It also has the greatest name I've ever heard in months - Legendary Phantom Beast Special Set. This is a dragon, a unicorn, and a Phoenix in a box for about $15. You should also follow her Twitter because it's full of good stuff.

Since there are Amiibo figures for this game, you may be lamenting your lack of "New" 3DS or 2DS units - you might still be able to pick up a standalone Amiibo Reader at Toys R Us or other retailers for about $20.

You can pre-order the Metroid: Samus Returns game at Amazon. At this time the LE of the game - which has a bonus soundtrack CD - is not up for grabs. Metroid Prime IV for the Switch was also announced.

Metroid: Samus Returns is a 2D remake of 1991's Metroid II: Return of Samus, a GameBoy game remade by fans as AM2R a couple of years ago. It was superb - this new version seems to be pretty complicated with lots of new moves and tricks.

The $80 clone system comes from Hyperkin of Retron fame, and it takes USB or vintage controllers. For the curious, the Sega Genesis uses the same connector and you can use a Sega pad with vintage Atari hardware.

Will you need to go dust off your old games? Probably! You haven't played them since the 1990s.

AtGames is a Chinese manufacturer who has been cranking out Genesis clones for years - you can find them at Target or Toys R Us with a burst on the box that looks a lot like it has a Nintendo Seal of Quality on it. Many of the games are homebrew or obscure titles that you may not consider worthy of counting toward the total, and previous models didn't support on-console saving - which means you won't finish Phantasy Star IV. This new model boasts Columns, Golden Axe, Sonic 2, Shining Force, Shinobi III, and others on the mock-up packaging. Clone hardware hasn't always delivered a pixel-perfect experience, but sometimes you get something pretty awesome at a price that, considering inflation, ain't bad.

In this case you also get something called Mr. Balls, which probably isn't something anyone actually remembers because like Curling 2010 and Fish Story, they seem to be more or less exclusive to these consoles. Of the 85 titles, I think I recognize about 40 as being Genesis games, the rest don't sound familiar - I mean, I know what Chess or Air Hockey are, but I don't remember them as games for a Sega console from 1989 onward. 7 of the titles are Sonic games. Also, Ristar.
