One reason for this sale is because we will be re-organizing our warehouse in the next month or so to more efficiently deal with the much larger selection of items our upcoming new website will allow us to manage! (The new site will also have a full 'account' feature, search/filter/browse features, improved vintage listings, comprehensive pre-order selection, email notification system & more - the site should be done sometime in March) Given this situation we are looking to clear out overstocked and older inventory before the new site goes live and the warehouse re-organization begins.

NEW ARRIVALS:

TRANSFORMER STATUES: Our shared exclusive Metallic Bumblebee statue has just arrived! I thought this version looked even better than the normal 'cartoon' paint version - we have only 125 pieces available of the 250 piece total production run. Also in stock is the new Grimlock Statue from Palisades. This is the first statue made in 'vehicle' mode - it features Grimlock in T-Rex mode and is a very nice item. Pre-Orders will be processed & shipped on Thursday for these items.

MASTER REPLICA: The awesome new Rebel Snowspeeder has just arrived and we have a few left after filling pre-orders. Also just in from M.R. is the Pirates of the Caribbean Cursed Aztec Gold Coin and Necklace - modeled after the coins used in the movie. We have one AT-AT left in stock. Our shipment of Stormtrooper Blasters is on the way and will be arriving next week!

ALIEN: The very cool Alien Chestburster Plush toy has just arrived and is listed on the Palisades Menu. The figure is about 3 feet long from head to tail! Also just in from Palisades is the Alien Facehugger Micro Bust.
