MP-03 Starscream at Big Bad Toy Store
|
March 31, 2006 - (Sponsor Announcement) - Online retailer BigBadToyStore.com has several new items of interest to collectors:
----------------- NEW TRANSFORMERS: -----------------
MP-03 MASTERPIECE STARSCREAM: Takara has just announced the release of this beauty, they unfortunately didn't release any pictures yet, but we now know the official pricing and we were able to drop our preorder price from $109.99 to $99.99! The MP-01 Prime was one of the best selling item ever for BBTS, we expect the MP-03 to break that record. The MP-01 is now quite hard to find and sells at a premium on the aftermarket, so be sure to take advantage of the low $99.99 price on the MP-03 before it sells out. Starscream should arrive in September.
OTHER NEW TRANSFORMERS: Our supplier sent us two other new offers from Takara-Tomy that will be coming out in August, there are no pictures and I honestly have no idea what these will look like or even what series or style of figure they will be, the only info we have is name info they supplied (which may be slighly incorrect due to a translation, but its all we have) "Transformer Atari by Ozaki Yuki" and "Kiss Transformer Convoy & Melissa" Preorders have been listed at $44.99 and $69.99 respectively. I don't know if these items will be some sort of hybrid licensed figure with Atari or KISS, but as more news surfaces we'll update the listings.
------------- NEW ARRIVALS: -------------
E-HOBBY LASER ULTRA MAGNUS: A cool repaint of the G2 Laser Prime, this version is now in stock in limited numbers for $89.99. The next E-Hobby exclusive - Twincast - should be here by the end of the month!
CULT CLASSICS 3 & 12" FRANK THE BUNNY: The 6" version of Frank the Bunny was easily the most popular figure from the last wave of Cult Classics, NECA now brings us a 12" version speaks around 7 phrases from the movie and comes with alternate head and base with mailbox. We've also restocked the single Cult Classic figures from wave three.
VINTAGE DEPARTMENT: It's been another busy week for these guys, over 700 older Star Wars and Transformer items from the last 10 years have been stocked, and around 100 various G1 transformers, many of them with boxes have also been listed.
ALTERNATORS: The new Rollbar and Ricochet figures have just arrived and are now availalbe for $22.99 each.
STAR TREK: The "All Good Things" Riker and "Soldier of the Empire" Worf figures are now in stock for $13.99 each. Various other Star Trek figures are also up for preorder.
-------------- NEW PREORDERS: --------------
SOUL OF CHOGOKIN: A domestic distributor is reviving these sold-out figures and importing them for sale within the US at attractive prices! We now have the GX-01R Mazinger Z and GX-02R Great Mazinger up for preorder at $69.99. The GX-08 Aphrodai A and GX-12 Venus A are each up for preorder at $39.99 - very nice prices compared to the current market value of these items. The GX-30 Battle Fever Robo will be arriving to us in about a week.
MASTER REPLICAS KERMIT PUPPET: This is an exciting new license for M.R., they will be producing a line of high-end replicas of your favorite Muppet characters - using the original designs that Jim Henson created. Kermit is up for preorder at $189.99 - he stands about 2 feet tall and has wires in his arms and legs for poseability - just like the 'photo' puppets did back when Henson worked with them.
PIRATES 2 - DEAD MAN'S CHEST: NECA brings us more collectibles from the big movie of the summer - up for preorder now is the Jack Sparrow Cutlass at $99.99, Treasure Chest Resin Jewelry box at $59.99, and a nifty fireplace set complete with skulls on the top and base of the stand, and the handle of each tool is the hilt of a saber, and no, I never did anticipate that we'd be selling fireplace accessories when BBTS started.
FREDDY KRUEGER FULL SIZE GLOVE REPLICA: An awesome redition of Freddy's evil glove that comes with a display frame. Made by NECA, this item is limited to only 2500 pieces and available to preorder at $91.99.
STAR TREK 40TH ANNIVERSARY PHASER: A cool new release from Art Asylum and Diamond Select - this electronic phaser is priced below the MSRP at $23.99, it has a bronze colored handle and blue body - classic Star Trek.
GIANT 34" VINYL GRENDIZER: This monster figure is from the Giga-Byte series and is priced at $229.99. Sure to tower over the rest of your Grendizer collection, it looks to be quite nicely done.
