September 10, 2004 - (Sponsor Announcement) - Online retailer BigBadToyStore.com has several new items of interest to collectors:

ENERGON & SUPERLINK: The brand new Energon Ultra Landquake and Bulkhead have just arrived - we have listed them at the attractive price of $29.99 each! Landquake features electronic battle sounds and the rear section converts to a gunnery station. Bulkhead is a very cool helicopter whose afterburner unit converts to a separate weapons drone or forms power arms for Bulkhead. The Superlink SD-18 Chromhorn has been restocked and the new SC-21 Inferno Volt figure is available for $24.99

TOYBIZ LORD OF THE RINGS: Another shipment of the Fellowship Wave 3 assortment has arrived to us. Sets of 5 figures including: Moria Orc Archer, 111th Birthday Celebration Bilbo, Gil-Galad, Elrond of Rivendell and King Elendil is available for $39.99. Elrond and King Elendil are also available singly for $7.99. We have restocked in small quantities a variety of other LotR items after completing an inventory count in our warehouse.

MCFARLANE - CLIVE BARKER'S INFERNAL PARADE: This new set of figures from Clive Barker and Todd McFarlane is almost as grotesque as the Tortured Souls line! The set of six figures is in stock for $59.99 and each comes
with a 'Train Car' Base that can all be connected to form a twisted circus train and each figure comes with a portion of a short fiction story written by Clive. Figures include: Tom Requium - King of Showmen, Dr. Fetter's Family of Freaks, The Sabbaticus, The Golem Elijah, and two scantily clad female figures - Bethany Bled in the Iron Maiden and Mary Slaughter the Spike Swallower. Conan Sets of 6 are also in stock for $59.99 & AvP sets of 5 for $54.99

PALISADES: REN & STIMPY, CRITTAZ, ALIEN: The new Ren & Stimpy figures do a great job of capturing their animated likenesses. The figures and packaging are surprisingly large compared with typical releases from Palisades. The set includes Ren, Stimpy, Mr. Horse and the huge Shaven Yak figure - which weighs nearly 2 pounds by itself! Crittaz is an in-house creation by Palisades and features 6 urban style animals - the set of 6 is $39.99. A very fun item is the plush Alien Face Hugger - it has bendable limbs so you can actually attach it to your face or other willing victims.

IMPORT GUNDAM MODELS & ACTION FIGURES: Two exciting new pre-orders before we get to the new arrivals. The next Perfect Grade kit has been announced - Seed Strike Gundam will be the next gundam to receive the 1/60 scale perfect treatment and is available for pre-order for $164.99 Another great release is the Master Grade 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero Custom -
available for pre-order for $48.99. New Gundam arrivals include the FIX
0021a and 0021B Gundam F90 and F91 figures - $41.99 each. Master Grade
'Crystal Version' RX-78-2, Green Zaku II and Red Zaku II along with the HUGE Perfect Zeong kit and MG Seed Freedom kit have arrived. A variety of other master grade kits have been restocked as well.

SIDESHOW-WETA MORGUL LORD: This very large polystone statue of the Morgul Lord is now in stock and available for $189.99. The Morgul Lord is limited to 9500 pieces - so its a bit larger edition than previous statues, but the figure is so well done that demand will shortly outpace supply. We have reduced the price of the Golden Hall & Helms Deep environments to $99.99 each!

STAR WARS: Vintage OTC 12" Boba Fett, Stormtrooper and Luke Skywalker are all in stock for $33.99 to $35.99. We have restocked a variety of unleashed figures from Wave 7 to Wave 10 in small quantities after completing an inventory count. More OTC basic figures have arrived and we've cut prices on many of them to $4.99 or $5.99 - so a great time to pick up a variety of cool OTC figures at a low price!

SIDESHOW: LIFE SIZE TERMINATRIX HEAD & 12" FIGURES: The awesome 1:1 scale
Terminatrix chromed Skull with flashing blue electronic lights is now
available for $449.99 - which is $50 below the MSRP! Also in stock from
Sideshow is the Boris Karloff Mummy figure and General Nathan Bedford Forrest from the Brotherhood of Arms line - $36.99 each.

TRANSFORMERS: DESERT HOUND & MORE: The latest exclusive re-paint figure has arrived and is available for $49.99! Desert Hound is a Decepticon and is a tan repaint of re-issue Hound - both the figure and the weapons are painted as though they have sand & dirt in the cracks and recessed areas so it has a real world dirty look to it. This will likely be the only shipment of these we will receive and these exclusives always go quickly. Other Transformer items in stock are the Japanese Beast Wars D-25
Cyber-Wolfang, Clampdown and Deepcover repaints, Hard Hero Rhinox Statue.

MCFARLANE SPORTS PICKS - NFL 9, NFL 3", NFL 12" - Just in time for the NFL opener tonight, we've received a bunch of new NFL items from McFarlane. Series 9 NFL features Daunte Culpepper, Priest Holmes, Brian Urlacher, Jake Plummer and more - we have all 7 normal versions of the figures in stock - most for $9.99 and a variety of chase figures are also in stock from $18 to $20. The 3" NFL series 1 figures feature 6 different two-packs of figures priced at $5.99 each or $35.99 for the set of 6 and the 12" Brian Urlacher and 12" Peyton Manning are each available for $29.99

IMPORTED KUBRICKS - MARVEL SERIES 3: The latest wave of Marvel Kubricks from Medicom includes Carnage, Spiderman Black Costume, Magneto, Human Torch, Juggernaut, Jean Grey and Daredevil. They are available in boxes of 24 which will guarantee you the full set with duplicates. I'm not sure if there are any chase figures in this wave, but all our boxes are sealed/unsearched so you have a 1 in 4 chance of receiving possible chase cases - if you buy 4 boxes we will send you a sealed master case to guarantee any possible chase figures.

ALTERNATORS: We'll be receiving a huge shipment of Alternators Hound, Dead End, and Silverstreak in about a week. Pre-Orders are still available for Hound and Dead End!
