June 11, 2004 - (Sponsor Announcement) - Online retailer BigBadToyStore.com has several new items of interest to collectors:

PRE-ORDERS:

TRANSFORMER ENERGY CUBES - by Unicron.com - The 3rd accessory pack is now available for pre-ordering - only at BBTS! Energy cubes are a 'must have' item for diorama builders or anyone looking to make their collection look a bit more G1 show accurate. The cubes can be assembled to look empty or full by leaving out or including the sparkly/ shimmering/ translucent cardboard insert. A great nostalgic item that does a great job of capturing the look of energon cubes from the G1 cartoon. Available now on the Pre-Order Menu in packs of 10 cubes or super packs of 50 cubes.

ELROND STATUE: Sideshow has shipped a fairly small quantity of these to us and we are opening up a short term pre-order - listed only on the Sideshow-Weta menu.

NEW ITEMS & SALE:

DC DIRECT - BATMAN HUSH: This is a truly awesome set of figures - extremely well done molding and design. The set of 5 is available for a competitive price of $59.99. Included in the set are Batman, Huntress, Poison Ivy, Hush, and The Joker. The set is listed on the DC Menu along with Return of Superman, and a variety of Pocket Superheroes including the just restocked JLA Pocket Superhero set.

VINTAGE MENU SALE - 20% OFF: ALL the items on our many vintage menus are available for 20% off the listed prices. This sale will end at 8:00 PM Sunday 6/13. Please be sure to read the sale details on how the discounts will be applied to your order (they will be listed on the 'your order is shipping' email as a reduced or negative shipping fee, and the discount is not listed on the initial order confirmation email) We have literally thousands of items on the vintage menus - the vintage department is starting to take over too much room in our warehouse so please help us make some space!
