December 31, 2004 - (Sponsor Announcement) - Online retailer BigBadToyStore.com has several new items of interest to collectors:

GALAXY FORCE TRANSFORMERS: The first releases of the 2005 lineup from Takara have just arrived! This is a great looking series with nice packaging, the figures and packaging are very large! Some of the better looking figures are: GC-01 Galaxy Convoy, GC-03 Vector Prime, GC-04 Dreadrock and GD-01 Master Megatron. We'll be processing pre-orders throughout the weekend on these and they will all ship out Monday/Tuesday. 11 total figures are in stock and be sure to consider this line - it looks very promising for future releases as well. We do not have much excess stock on any of these figures, but I'm working on a second shipment.

HALO: We've received a limited supply of a few older Halo items. Back in stock are the Wave 5 Set of 4 for $54.99, The Campaign and Slayer minifigure sets, Black Master Chief, Orange Grunt from Series 4 and Red Covenant Elite from Series 4.

ROBOTMASTERS: The limited edition Black Robotmasters exclusive figures have just arrived along with the RM-18 through RM-21. The Black figures all come packaged in a windowless box that is actually fairly attractive. The figures are available for $59.99 each or $219.99 for the set of 4. The RM-18 Road Rocket and RM-19 Double Face are each motorcycles and priced at $14.99. RM-20 Delta Seeker & X-Gunner are cyberjet repaints priced at $19.99 for the set of 2, and a nice surprise on the RM-21 set with DVD. Instead of a normal Beast Convoy - they made the red 'Burning' Beast Convoy version - a cool looking figure!

GI JOE: Valor vs. Venom wave 6 has just arrived and sets of 6 two-packs are available for $49.99 each. This set comes with more troop builder sets, Ninjas, and the very cool Electric Eel figure. Also in stock is the Dreams & Visions Unknown Soldier figure for $43.99.

ENERGON POWERLINX BATTLES: A new Deluxe wave has just arrived - this wave includes more of the popular A5 Stormjet and C5 Steamhammer figures. Also included are the brand new Energon Kicker & High Wire, and D5 Barricade - the main combiner for that set of figures. We also have more Sharkticon, Slugslinger, Energon Hot Shot, Downshift, and Tow-Line

BATMAN HUSH: We were previously sold out of Batman Hush series 1 and 2
sets of 5, but both are now back in stock for $59.99. Many other DC Direct and Marvel Select items are also in stock.
