Rockstar Energy and Mountain Dew Game Fuel Flavors are On Sale
It’s Monday, which is the start of the week for a lot of people, and usually the most drag-day of all. It can be tricky to adjust from the devil-may-care weekend to the responsibility of the week. Thankfully you can avoid this slump next time around with these energy drink deals happening at Amazon for today’s Deal of the Day.
Rockstar and Mountain Dew Energy Drink Deals
Lots of flavors of Rockstar Energy and Mountain Dew Game Fuel are on sale today, including sugar-free offerings if you’re on Keto or whatever. I don’t really know much about carb-free living, if I’m being honest. I’m sorry.
I do know the Game Fuel is pretty good, as I’ve consumed several flavors. Of the major flavors, my favorite is the red one, Charged Cherry Burst. I don’t think I dislike any of them, actually, but the Cherry definitely rises above the rest.
As for the Rockstar flavors, I can’t speak to those. I don’t really like Rockstar energy drink, but I know a lot of people do and there are quite a few varieties to choose from, so go wild. Just don’t drink more than one a day, that’s not healthy. OK, sure, even one a day isn’t “healthy,” but what can you do? Treat yourself, I say. Just do so responsibly.
The sale prices on these hyper-charged sugar waters are good for today only, as they’re part of Amazon’s deal of the day. There’s a little countdown timer on the item pages, to drive home that sense of urgency. If you want to save, today’s the day. Go wild.

Marvel Legends Spider-Man Iron Spider Helmet Available for Preorder
It’s a great time to be a Marvel collector, perhaps the best time in the history of the company. Hasbro has taken absolutely excellent care of the Marvel license, particularly when it comes to the higher-end Legend Series. Spider-Man is finally getting an Endgame Legends Series mask release by way of the Marvel Legends Series Iron Spider electronic helmet.
Preorder Spider-Man Marvel Legends Series Iron Spider Electronic Helmet
The Marvel Legends series masks and helmets are pretty excellent and the Iron Spider helmet looks like it’s no exception. The helmet has “glowing LED eyes that glow red and blue in 6 different light settings,” as well as the quality sculpt and paint the Legends Series line is known for.
You can preorder it now and it has an expected March 1, 2022 release date, so there’s plenty of time to make up your mind if you’re on the fence about it.

Garbage Pail Kids x WWE Superstars Available Now at Walmart
It’s difficult to overstate how massively popular Garbage Pail Kids and professional wrestling were in the 1980s. The GPK license, originally a send-up of the Cabbage Patch Kids craze of the early ’80s, has long outlived its source material. The WWE is now the biggest wrestling property on Earth, but it was the 1980s when it really came into its own and broke out into popular culture.
Walmart is carrying a set of exclusive crossover figures merging these two titanic 1980s (and beyond) properties into one collectible line. I, for one, already added the Macho Man figure “Savage Randy” to my cart and will be checking out as soon as I’m done writing this.
GPK x WWE Figures at Walmart
If you buy at least three of these figures, you’ll qualify for free shipping, but good luck trying to figure out which three to get. I’m personally a fan of these weird designs, since I grew up with the gross Garbage Pail Kids aesthetic.
The figures should tide you over until WWE 2K22 releases in March, and if it turns out to be a disappointment like the last few games… well, at least you have those weird figures on your shelf.

Hasbro Announces Next Transformers HasLab Project: Victory Saber
The next Transformers HasLab project from Hasbro is Victory Saber, an absolutely massive new figure that will come to production only if enough backers support it before its campaign end date on October 11 of this year.
Check out the prototype images of Victory Saber in the gallery below:
According to Hasbro, Victory Saber includes the following:
- 1-inch Brain of Courage Brainmaster figure
- 5-inch Autobot Saber figure
- 5-inch V-Star jet
- 5-inch Victory Leo figure
- Sword of Justice accessory
If you’re unfamiliar with Victory Saber, he’s the supreme Autobot leader in the anime Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory, which differs from the Transformers lore you might be more familiar with. According to Hasbro, should this figure reach its backing goal, it will mark the “first time in 30 years” Japanese canon has been introduced “into the Transformers line.”
The HasLab line has been used to great effect in the past to bring us the Mandalorian’s Razor Crest and perhaps the coolest HasLab creation of all, the massive HasLab Unicron figure.
If you’re keen to see Victory Saber in production, you can back the project now at Hasbro Pulse for $179.99.

Mistwalker and IGN Have Teamed Up to Bring Exclusive Fantasian Merch to the IGN Store
If you’re a JRPG diehard, like me, you’re undoubtedly familiar with the works of Hironobu Sakaguchi. The Final Fantasy series has stood alongside the Dragon Quest series as one of gaming’s most influential and powerful on-going series. Sakaguchi’s latest work, Fantasia, is now available on Apple Arcade, and we’ve teamed up with Mistwalker, the studio behind it, to bring exclusive apparel to the IGN Store.
Check out the images below for some of the items available soon from Mistwalker and IGN Store:
You can sign up for alerts when this collection is available for purchase by visiting the IGN Store and entering in your email address for notifications.
Fantasian is a classic Sakaguchi JRPG, but it stands apart from its contemporaries through its hand-crafted diorama-style backgrounds. Rather than rendering 3D backgrounds, the areas and worlds of Fantasia were built as tiny, scale models on which the characters interact and battle in the game.
The sequel to Fantasian released earlier this month, also on Apple Arcade, and is apparently “twice as large” as the original game.
