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

TRANSFORMERS ENCORE: Takara just announced that Sky Lynx will be part of the Encore series, and they also threw Jazz (Meister) into the mix. We have preorders for each listed at $89.99 and $34.99 respectively - we can't wait to see who will be next in the reissue line.

STARGATE ATLANTIS - SERIES 2: Diamond Select has just released info about a new set of 5 figures including: Dr. Rodney McKay, Field Ops Teyla, a Wraith Queen, the limited Field Ops McKay, and Athosian Teyla. We have this set priced well below MSRP - $20 off at $59.99

TRANSFORMERS JAPANESE CLASSICS: Takara will be releasing the Classics line domestically in Japan, if you've missed out on any of them this is a great chance to fill in your collection. We've also just learned that they plan to update the paint versions of the figures to better reflect how they looked in G1 animations. We are digging for details (especially on Megatron - who would look awesome in gray & black), but there is not anything concrete available yet. We'll update the site as we learn more. Up for preorder now are Megatron, Prime, Starscream, and Bumblebee. More classics will be listed soon as we receive info.

RESIDENT EVIL 4 - HOT TOYS 12" This new line of high-end figures looks completely awesome. Hot Toys will be bringing us 5 different figures at $144.99 each including: Leon, Leon RPD, Krauser, Mutant Krauser, and Chainsaw. We have early partial images of these figures, but given the recent quality of everything Hot Toys has done, these should be fantastic.

MUSEUM REPLICAS: MARVEL, 300 & MORE: We will now carry all the cool licensed replicas produced by Museum Replicas. Up for preorder are Iron Man 1:1 Helmets, full 300 Spartan outfits including Cape, Vambrace, Spearhead, Necklace, Leather Briefs, Greaves, Shield, Helmets and more.
