--------------
NEW PREORDERS:
--------------

GENTLE GIANT:

-- DARTH MAUL & BLOODFIN STATUE: This statue was constructed so the Bloodfin vehicle appears to be floating over the base by being cleverly attached to Maul's flowing cape - listed at $30 under MSRP - $169.99

-- TUSKEN RAIDER BUST: No real image on this one yet, but it's sure to be another popular bust in Gentle Giant's ever expanding series - $47.99

-- HARRY POTTER - NEW BUSTS: We have just listed the new Bellatrix Lestrange and Nymphadora Tonks busts at $44.99, no final images on either yet, but we do have a prototype of Bellatrix pictured.

TAKARA MASTERPIECE MEGATRON MP-05 & PARTS SET: We were able to secure a limited number of MP-05 Megatrons that will be here in a few more months. The price is a bit higher than original wholesale so we've had to adjust to $109.99, but thats still a fair value for the ultimate version of Megs. The MP-05 ACCESSORY SET has some updated information with a picture of the unobtrusive orange cap and new images of the parts.

HALO 3 - MCFARLANE FIGURES & VEHICLES: With Halo 3 on the horizon, the product releases are starting to fall into place as well. McFarlane will be producing a variety figurs and mini vehicles. We have sets of each listed as well as cases, both at very reasonable pricing. Only the Master Chief has an image so far, but it should be a great line given McFarlane's dedication to detail.
