So every year San Diego Comic Convention has a list of exclusive toys that sell out mad quickly and unexpectedly, some as expected, and some just surprisingly linger around.

As expected, the Green Lantern Hal Jornan Figures were hot, but who knew that at a production run of 3000 of the green and 1500 of the yellow, blue, orange, and red Lanterns he’d be extremely hard to get?  Each day you stood in line at the Graphitti Designs booth for lottery for a chance to purchase the color of the day. Preview Night was Green, Thursday was Yellow, Friday blue, Saturday orange, and Sunday red.  They sold out immediately everyday so far since Preview Night! Well, I guess this was the first time ever they did this head sculp for the green lantern, ever.

We’ve been hearing about them quite a bit since last year, but they are finally for sale in the US! The vibrant red Alternity A-01 Nissan GT-R - Convoy has been sold out in most online places and the japanese distributors. Ultimate Silver looks like it’s still available with Japanese vendors as well as the US. Alternity A-02 Nissan Fairlady Z Megatron in silver and blue should be out in May, and the super black version of the Alternity A-01 Nissan GT-R - Convoy should be hitting the states in June! They retail for $49.99-$59.99 online. That’s probably all old news to most of the die-hard transformers fans, so I just thought I’d gather some images from the web and pile them into here to admire in one place.

Here is the Movie toy Ultimate Bumblebee. Its initial release saw a pricepoint around $79.99. They havent been flying off the shelves at that price. I believe such a toy is slightly outside of parents’ and kids’ budgets. However a resurgence in restocking sees even more of this toy on Walmart’s shelves. And no wonder at a price of $35, which is NOT a clearance or sale price. Im pretty sure the fans and even the kids will pick up this ginormous toy. Continue reading »

Is it just me or has Mattel just totally gotten greedy, I mean they have now released somewhere in the neighborhood of 10000000 different types of McQueen, from blue, to red to shinny red…. Now they have released a 4 pack that you have to buy if you want #84 Re-Volting. While I am think that Mattel will eventually release this sucker in a single pack, it kind of sucks for people that don’t want to take that chance. Paying 15 bucks for a set where most collectors probably don’t need the other 3 cars is a rip. Someone stop this maddness!
