Raving Toy Maniac

I will be covering the set as well as the xforce ml set at og13.com, a site many of us have left his stank for.

It's also more community driven and I invite you to check it out. It has all the old school beliefs of networking and community assistance that many of us miss and look for in a website today.

The sets are amazing and I think I actually prefer the xforce set even being straight repaints.

The 2012 Canadian Collectible Toy Expo will be this Sunday, July 29th, 2012 at the Delta Meadowvale Resort and Conference Centre- 6750 Mississauga Road, Mississauga, Ontario with free parking.

Join us for the 80s themed costume contest!

Special guests include voice actors Neil Ross (G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, Transformers, Voltron), Scott McNeil (ReBoot, Beast Wars, Storm Hawks, Dragon Ball Z, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, InuYasha, Ranma 1/2, Fullmetal Alchemist, and X-Men: Evolution), Transformers creator/writer Bob Budiansky, The Ontario Ghostbusters, the 501st Canadian Garrison and many comic book creators.

The show features a huge selection of vintage 80s toys and all the latest releases from today such as Transformers (vintage and Japanese imports), Star Wars (new and vintage), GIJoe (vintage and modern), Masters of the Universe (vintage and modern), Super Heroes (Marvel Universe/Legends, DCUC etc), Wrestling, and tons of other Action Figures and collectibles.

I saw some pictures of 3 Hanna Barbera characters (Fred Flintstone, Dastardly, and Scooby Doo) at the Diamond Distribution booth at SDCC. But there was no info or place cards by them. Does anybody know if these are going to be figures, or statues? Any info would be appreciated.

Anybody know?

Does anyone know anything about the new Jem line from Hasbro an Integrity toys? Will these new dolls hit stores, are they online only, what is the retail price, etc.?

Just got my HTS.com exclusives ... sorta. Ordered a red outfit Jinx and X-force 3 pack, got a red outfit Jinx and a Masters of Evil 3 pack. I guess they both have 3 pack in their title, so why not.

Any guesses as to whether or not they keep stock back for mistakes like this? I'm guessing I'm out of luck...

Anyone finding Ra's or john Blake movies masters yet ?? Release date ? Be hounding Walmart, target and barns and noble no luck yet ....? Are the just gona show up ???

I am new to the forums, so hopefully I have came to the right place, I am in search for Buddy L wheels. The wheel has the writing 8.25 x 20 the wheel is for a Buddy L Sand n Stone Dump Truck.

I have already contacted Thomas Toys and picked up 2 there, and classictintoys.com is no help.

If anyone has these wheels please contact me asap, any payment can be made.

Thanks Everyone.

Per a statement from Toy Guru earlier today, you're basically going to have to subscribe if you want any 2013 MattyCollector figures at a reasonable price. Scott said, basically outright, there's going to be a miniscule supply of figures available for day of sale in some case, and none in most cases.

Just FYI. We'll see how true this ends up being as it's obviously an attempt to drive subscription sales. Saying that, the tone of Scott's statement suggests none of the Matty stuff is selling all that well, at this point, and could easily go away.

Just passing it along. The full statement is in the places you'd expect it to be.
