New GameBoy Color Backlit Screen Option?
|
|
  Via BennVenn's Facebook: The new drop in back-lit GBC solution! What do you think?
This is a pretty big deal. It's a new backlit color screen with a good refresh rate with no blur and supposedly plops in with minimal shell modifications and zero soldering. There may be some need for a custom bezel, but it's looking impressive and I want one. It's a lot better than the Worm Light I was using 20 years ago. A review is threatened soon - and it's set for mass production, and if it truly is a drop-in option where all you need is a cheap tri-wing screwdriver it's - if you'll forgive the pun - a real game-changer.

Wonder Festival Reveals - Star Convoy, Armada Optimus, Jetfire, More
|
|
  Via TFW2005: New Siege Reveals & More at Wonder Festival Ð Jetfire, Star Convoy, Armada Prime and More!
Star Convoy looks like Power of the Primes Optimus Prime with a new big robot head and a new "trailer" mode - the inner robot in the chest looks similar to the original release. Armada Optimus Prime is a new mold, and Snakas took some pictures that seem to confirm a possible super mode. The battle pants have yet to be unveiled, and there's no word on if a US release of either toy is coming.
There are a ton of reveals coming up at New York Toy Fair, so stay tuned for more of that over the weekend and into next week.
