Hi - Here is a very quick update from http://www.bigbadtoystore.com about
a few new arrivals and an exciting new pre-order!

TAKARA RE-ISSUE STAR CONVOY: Takara announced just hours ago that the next re-issue will be Star Convoy with mini Hot Rod. The Japanese vintage version of this item is very hard to find, the vintage department only came across a few last year and they sold for around $400. This new item will be arriving in September and we have it priced very competitively at $92.99. (The Japanese retail price is 8000 yen - about $75 to $80 before expensive shipping fees for this bulky item) This figure will not be part of the 'TF Collection' series with Dreamwave art box, but will instead be a standalone re-issue similar to how Predaking was released. Pre-Orders are now available here for $92.99:

STIKFAS: The latest Stikfas figures have just arrived and each is now in stock for $8.99 each. New arrivals include Beta Female Nurse, Beta Female Windsurfer, Glowing Omega Phantom, and Red Chinese Warrior Monk. We've also restocked the previously sold out and popular Beta Female Fairy, Green Omega Military, Black & Blue Ninja Set, Teal & Blue Hockey Players, 14" Stikfa, Superhero and Super villian.

STAR WARS - DARTH VADER STATUE: The 15" Gentle Giant Darth Vader has just arrived and we have them in stock for $189.99. We'll be carrying all the future Gentle Giant releases as well so be sure to pre-order the upcoming statues and busts you'd like.

SGCollect have posted news that the next Alternator to be a Toyota MPV. As yet they have given no source. They have said that their source has said that the head bears a resembalance to Hot Rod.

See their thread here at SGCollect.

I'd personally believe (if true) that this could be Ironhide. His head is fairly close to Hot Rods. If true we can hope for a Ratchet repaint.

Time will tell, as ever.

Newest Collector's Club Magazine first look!

vorlonshadow of Seibertron sent us this nice preview of this months Collector's Club Magazine:

I recieved in the mail today the newest Master Collector News letter, and it
contained the latest TF collector club news letter. I didn't read all of it but I
can give some info on its contents. On the front they give a short review on
Frostbite, Page two contains an interview with Hasbros designers Aaron Archer and
Eric Siebenaler. Page three through five contain a review on the Action Masters
line.
Page six and seven have an interview with Palisades Designer Jeffry Englert.
They show 2 different pics of the War within Optimas Prime statue and 1 of the
Ravage statue. Page 8 and 9 contain an overview of the Cybertron toyline at the
2005 Toyfair. they have A list of the toy releases. They set it up like this:
size class/Takara names/Hasbro Names. They seem to be the same as the list that
showed up a short while ago, but with a few mistakes in the list. I'm not
entirly sure if this is the correct size but they have Liger Jack listed as a Voyager
Class and then they also have it switched with Live Convoy.
"Voyager Live Convoy LEO BREAKER"
"Voyager Liger Jack OVERCAST"

They also list Starscream in the Voyager class and Supreme class, so I remain
hopeful on that.

For Thundercracker the Hasbro name is listed as "THUNDERCRAACKER", Skids Is
listed as "CLOKER", and "Galaxy Comboy" as Optimas Prime.

Then Pages 10-16 are the Comic.

That is about it.

Be on the look out for your copy soon!

Devil's Due, TF Cybertron voice actors and some TF OVA 2006 information

Here's some interesting news from Jason Danvers to start your Monday morning off right ...

A few bits of news:

According to Hasbro's reps at Toy Fair Devil's Due has the TF comic license.

They also mentioned that at the insistance of pretty much everyone involved, Voicebox will NOT be back for the regionization of Galaxy Force. It will be done in a studio in L.A. who already has begun casting. Susan Blu is already involved, but that was the only name the specified.

Some Armada/Energon actors will be back, though a couple have chosen not to sign back on. And we will hear a few familiar voices from previous TF shows as well. Mostly from RiD, with a couple of G1 vets. They're REALLY excited about who they got to play Scourge, but it's a surprise they don't want to get out till the episode actually airs.

The script for the TF OVA for 2006 is being handled by Marv Wolfman, who wrote the first several drafts of the 1986 TF movie, as well as being a story editor on the original show. Wolfman is most famous for being the co-creator of the Blade in the 70s for Marvel and the New Teen Titans comic book in the early 80s for DC.

Don't forget to check out this week's latest Caption Contest picture: Quintessons in transport vehicle as well as today's Transformers motto located at the bottom of each page.

Happy Monday!
