NEW PREORDERS:
--------------
TRANSFORMERS - BINALTECH RETURNS!! Just confirmed moments ago, Takara
will revive the Binaltech line with the BT-19 Bluestreak and BT-20 Jazz / Meister release. While both of these use body existing molds, they each now have the appropriate head molds. We are going to assume these are primarily made of plastic and will not have die-cast parts, but that has
not yet been confirmed. Each piece is up for preorder at the standard
$54.99 per piece rate, and lets hope this is only the beginning for more new Binaltechs!
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=7
NEW ROADBOTS - TRANSFORMING ROBOTS: We brought in a shipment of Roadbots over a year ago and everyone we heard from was quite happy with the quality and craftsmanship of these cool transforming robot toys.
Happywell, the manufacturer of Roadbots has expanded the line and we'll be receiving 9 additional new figures as well as restocking sold out items.
The new figures include two larger motorcycle figures including a 1:8
Harley Davidson, and a 1:10 Kawasaki Ninja. They have also introduced a
1:24 Scale (the same as Alternators & Binaltech) and the first releases in that scale are a Jaguar & Land Rover. A new Corvette C6R and a variety of
1:32 scale figures are also available:
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=1176
CHRONICLES OF NARNIA - PRINCE CASPIAN: We've just listed the full selection of 3.75" and 7" figures as well as some playsets and 2-packs.
This series is nicely sculpted and there are a fairly impressive range of figures. Full sets of figures as well as some singles are available here:
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=576
MICHAEL JORDAN & TIGER WOODS - PRO SHOTS: Upper deck brings us a new line of figures based on top athletes. We currently have only prototype images listed, but the figures look nicely sculpted and feature each athlete in historic poses. Sets of figures are each priced at $28.99 http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/s...arch=pro+shots

NEW 'FIGMA' FIGURES: A new line of very articulated licensed figures, similar to Revoltech has just launched.

TRANSFORMING TOYS - X-BOTS & GALAXY DEFENDER: From Happywell, the makers of Roadbots, we are going to be importing a small number of items from

TRANSFORMERS - WONDERFEST G1 ARCEE: We are only able to get a very small amount of the Wonderfest G1 Arcee - which was limted to around 500 pieces.
We had to pay our supplier handsomely to get these, so the preorder price is rather high at $124.99, but its also one of the more limited releases out there other than lucky-draw items.
