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

PREDAKING - ARRIVES 12/14! I overnighted a sample from Japan that just came in this morning, our main shipments will arrive Tuesday 12/14 and pre-orders will ship out from the 14th to 16th. After inspecting the sample piece I'm happy to say its an awesome figure - die cast parts on all five figures just like the original G1 figures, tight joints, perfect stickers, complete - all things hard to achieve with a vintage Predaking! It comes in the 'briefcase' style fold open box with a handle on top and includes 5 sticker sheets, 6 tech-spec cards, instructions, and a cool larger card that shows all the re-issues and Binaltechs Takara has released in the past few years. Any orders placed now will ship along with all the pre orders on the 14th to 16th. Don't miss out on this one!
