November 9, 2004 - (Sponsor Announcement) - Online retailer BigBadToyStore.com has several new items of interest to collectors:

STAR WARS: Two brand new case assortments of OTC basic figures have just arrived. The following figures are in stock - the majority are $6.99 to $7.99: #29 ESB Vader, #30 - Gamorrean Guard, #31 - Bib Fortuna, #33 - Slave Leia, #34 - Darth Vader - ANH, #35 - Han Solo - AT-ST Driver, #36 - General Madine, #37 - Lando Calrissian. We've also received the Y-Wing Fighter Exclusive and an older Imperial Forces 4-Pack. More OTC Vintage figures have arrived including Stormtrooper, Boba Fett, C-3PO, R2-D2, Yoda, and Obi-Wan.

SUPER PARTS GOD GINRAI: This custom made hobby kit has just arrived, the Super Parts 'add-on set' is limited to only 120 pieces worldwide - available only at BBTS. It features a variety of semi-hard vinyl pieces that add on to the regular C-310 God Ginrai re-issue to give it a much more accurate look and poseability. Please be sure to read the notes about this item listed right below the Super parts listing (on the main Transformers menu under the 'Takara Earlier Re-Issues' heading) The parts set requires assembly and some modification - so please see the notes on our site. The super parts kit comes with a C-310 God Ginrai re-issue and the two items are priced at $99.99 as a set.

MCFARLANE: We've received more of the very popular Spawn 26 sets of 6. They are now priced at $54.99 for the set of 6 that includes a variety of very well done figures based on the cover art of various Spawn comics. More of the HR Giger Li II statues have arrived - McFarlane is basically sold out on these so we won't be able to get anymore.

TRANSFORMERS ROBOTMASTERS: We've listed some very cool exclusive black R.M. figures - these figures are limited to only 3000 pieces each and were exclusives to a variety of hobby magazines in Japan (available only if you fill out the offer from the ~$10 magazine and mail it in - our distributor was kind enough to fill out a LOT of these) The black exclusives include: RM-01 Optimus, RM-02 Beast Megatron, RM-11 Beast Convoy and RM-12
Starscream - they all look very cool. We've also listed new pre-orders for the RM-20 to RM-23 - which are Delta Seeker & X-Gunner cyberjets, Beast Convoy with DVD, Lio Convoy and Lio Convoy with DVD. Please note Lio Convoy was previously listed as RM-20 - its now RM-22 - we've adjusted all automatically so you don't need to re-order the Lio Convoy, but would need to put an order in for the cyberjet RM-20 set if you want them.

TRANSFORMERS GALAXY FORCE: Takara has announced the March releases for the very promising Galaxy Force line. GD-04 through GD-08 and GC-09 through GC-14 + GX-01 have all been listed. There are a variety of cool looking vehicles and also a few figures with Beast Wars roots that look to be improved overall from the typical Beast Wars release.

GI JOE: A few new 12" Joes have arrived including: Desert Operations Seal, National Guard Security Force, and Rooftop Surveillance Police Officer. They are each priced at $11.99 and we have a variety of other 12" and 3 3/4" Joes in stock.
