May 7, 2004 - (Sponsor Announcement) - Online retailer BigBadToyStore.com has several new items of interest to collectors:

MICROMAN: We've received the domestic versions of the Takara Masterforce and Acroyear sets of 4. They surprisingly are packaged on the same Japanese cards as the import versions, other than a new barcode sticker on the back. Sets of 4 are available for $28.99 each. We also have very limited stock of the imported Batman Microman figures. Pre-orders for all these items will be processed shipped Friday or Monday.

MACROSS: The 1/48 Super VF-1J Max and Millia have arrived - $189.99 for each of these beauties. Also in stock is the 1/60 Queadlaun Rau Armor suit, priced at $124.99. A variety of other Macross and Robotech items are in stock from Yamato, Bandai, Banpresto, and Toynami

GODZILLA: Bandai unfortunately failed to fill much of our order for new Godzilla items, but they did come through on a few items. A very cool box of 10 mini-figures. Each figure is about 3" tall and is $3 each ($30 for the box of 10) A few other Godzilla items have been restocked in small quantities.

OTFCC EXCLUSIVE: The 2nd OTFCC exclusive has been listed! Sentinel Maximus, a very nice repainted version of Armada Overload is available for pre-order for $74.99. Megazarak is also available for $64.99.
