LUKE SKYWALKER 1/7 MODEL KIT: The latest kit from Kotobukiya in Japan is now up for preorder at just $84.99 - which is $15 under the MSRP and well below what it would cost you to buy one directly from Japan and ship it over.

STAR WARS GREATEST HITS WAVE 3: Hasbro mixes this wave up a bit by inserting some wave 1 figures in with the new wave 3 figures, but we've taken the frustration out of this by offering the 5 new figures as a set which includes: Shock Trooper, R2-D2, Clone Commander (Red), Obi-Wan Pilot, and Emperor Palaptine. Single figure preorders are up for the rest of the items from wave 1 as well as the Shock Trooper and R2-D2 figures.

GHOST RIDER MAQUETTE: Another superiour sculpt from Sideshow - Ghost Rider hits theaters in early 2007 - this statue comes out shortly before then and looks awesome.

HELLBOY ANIMATED STATUE: Based on the upcoming animated Hellboy series, this new statue is $25 under MSRP at $124.99 - a pretty nifty sculpt.

SDCC DARTH VADER SITH APPRENTICE: Needless to say, we have a very small number of these preorders for $99.99 each - limited to 6000 pieces and sure to be popular well into the future.
