While Hasbro and Toy Biz have been the companies pumping out the new toys of late, there's tons in the pipeline that we've waiting on. We expect the amount of new product shipping to greatly increase in the coming weeks, which is great as Convention Season is about to start! The next convention we'll be attending is the Great Atlanta Toy Show on Sunday, May 21st. Check out www.greatatlantatoyshow.com for more information.

Last week saw the release of X-Men Series 2 and this week we expect to be receiving our Spiderman Series 17 figures - with new figures including Spider-Hulk, Hobgoblin, and Hydroman.

On the Star Wars front we will have stocked the majority of the newest Saga release by the beginning of next week. Figures #022-#030 are in the store and will be added this week.. As always, if there's figures on your want list, let us know and we can set them aside! We're excited to have new figures like the Firespeeder Pilot, Jedi Foul Moudama and Holo Ki-Adi-Mundi in stock and expect Ultimate Galactic Hunts instock soon.

To make up for the lack of new product shipping, we've added over 50 new preorders to the site improving the Statue, Import, and Other Preorders Catagories! Here's a sampling of the new Preorders:
Final Fantasy 8 and X Figures as well as Advent Children Cloud Strife vs Sephiroth 2 Piece Statue!
Star Wars Statues including the Han/Greedo Mos Eisley Bookend Set, Rancor and Handler Statue, Chewie Mini-Bust, and our favorite: Princess Leia and R2 Animated Maquette! For a limited time, preorder the Leia/R2 Maquette for 20% off!
