Ready to Believe

So here is the first of the SDCC exclusives. This is from TRU and it is the We are ready to believe you Ghostbusters minimates set. This includes Ray, Egon and Peter from their commercial as well as a normal Dana Barrett. I have at least 3 more packages currently in the mail on their way to me so bring on the goodies!

Lessen the sting

So this is a very depressing weekend because I am at home and not at SDCC. It is tru that there is lots of new toy news and we get to see the things that will be hotly anticipated until their release but its just not the same looking on the computer instead of being there. But to help ease the pain TRU got in the second wave of IM2 exclusive minimates and here we have the non-battle damaged Mark VI and a Ground Assault Drone.

And here we have Lt Col James Rhodes and an Air Assault Drone. Although the drones are should have been variations they look identical to me so really there are only two new minimates here which puts my total up to 855 but never fear there are at least 16 more coming to me in the next few weeks so stay tuned! On and by the way if you haven't watched the newest trailer for Tron Legacy please click here and check it out because it will BLOW YOUR MIND! I cannot wait for this movie and you should feel the same way!

More ESB love!

I have been waiting for this one since rumor of it leaked, like, forever ago! We went on a drive today up to Salt Lake and so I stopped by a TRU up there and what to my surprise should I find? The new Galactic Heroes AT-AT! This is a great looking toy with sound and action features and its cute to boot! I love getting toys I want that my wife also thinks are cool! Now they need a GH A-wing, B-Wing, and Y-Wing and I will be content.

Wampa

So this summer's new wave of SW lego shops have hit and although there are a bunch of really cool ones, this is the one that I just had to have. This is the Hoth Wampa cave set. As you can see there is a Wampa (a first) and his cave where you can hang Luke upside down, a skeleton and a rip cage of some past animal meal. You also get a Snowspeeder wtih Zev Senesca.

That snowspeeder is the fourth version so far so here is a picture of all four versions of the lego snowspeeder thus far.

Yesterday was also MOTU day and Count Marzo showed up in the mail. Very cool looking, read on for his full bio. I am excited as next week is SDCC and they will be announcing a whole bunch of upcoming figures for this line!

Something Strange

So the very very cool fourth wave of TRU Ghostbusters minimates has arrived. (These are even cooler to me as I have just watched the movies with my son and he loved them). First we have a rehash of Slimer and Venkman.

Next we have a Slime Blower Ray and the theater ghost which I would venture to guess used the most unique pieces of any minimate to date!

Then here we have the Subway Ghost and the Mayor.

And last we have Janosz and the Statue of Liberty which is now one of my all time favorites. If you take off the robe there is a tampo on the front of the minimate of the four GBs riding inside with pink goo oozing down. Very cool. Even when you think that is all there is for GB minimates there are atleast two more box sets still to come!

Mandalore galore

So Star Wars The Clone Wars is a great show and yesterday I picked up some great figures from the show. The first here is Pre Vizsla who is the leader of Death Watch who duels it out with Obi-Wan. Mandalorians fall into the few categories of SW figures that I still gotta have!

And from the same episodes here is a Mandalorian Police Officer.
