Hi - Here is a quick update from http://www.bigbadtoystore about some very
exciting new preorders just listed today and a variety of new arrivals.

--------------
NEW PREORDERS:
--------------

TRANSFORMERS ENCORE - RATCHET & IRONHIDE: A nice surprise announcement
from Takara today. Ratchet and Ironhide will be released as part of the
Encore lineup at the very attractive price of only $34.99 each. These
were reissued about 5 years ago as exclusives in very limited quantities.

HASBRO MARVEL BUILD-A-FIGURE SETS: We've just listed two exciting new
sets of figures, and each 8 figure set includes parts needed to build an
extra larger Build-A-Figure. Up for preorder now at $89.99 per set is
the Marvel Legends Fantastic 4 set with Ronan the Accuser, and a
Spider-Man Movie set with Sandman. Lets hope Hasbro continues this trend.

TRANSFORMERS MUSIC LABEL - SOUNDBLASTER BLACK MP3: Takara will not only
be producing more of the Spark Blue MP3 players, they are also introducing
a third version into the mix with the new SoundBlaster MP3 player with
black paint. Both figures are up for preorder at $94.99.

STAR WARS TRANSFORMERS - NEW DELUXE: We've listed two new case
assortments that contain the new Commander Cody Turbo Tank, Luke Skywalker
Snowspeeder, and AT-AT Driver - AT-AT. They unfortunately packed 2 old
figures along with the 4 new figures per case, so while our case prices
are very reasonable at $94.99, the single figure and sets are a bit high
since we'll have to recoup the expense of the two unwanted items.

MARVEL SUPERHERO SQUAD - SERIES 5: We don't have images for this new wave
yet, but it sounds like a good one. Instead of the normal 4 sets of
2-packs, Hasbro doubles up this wave with 8 new 2-packs. We have cases,
sets, and a few singles up for preorder. New figures include: Storm &
Black Panther, Ultimates Captain America & Nick Fury, Wolverine with
chopper, Human Torch & Annihilus, Iceman & Pyro, Thor & Loki, Gambit &
Rogue, and Dr. Strange & Ant-Man.

NEW ARRIVALS:
-------------

STAR WARS UNLEASHED ARC HEAVY GUNNER: This internet exclusive is now in
stock for $23.99. It comes packaged in the attractive cylinder style
packaging and features another dynamic Unleashed style pose.

BATMAN 1/4 SCALE MUSEUM STATUE: A beautiful new mixed media piece that
stands over 18" tall, the Museum Statue is very impressive:

SPIDER-MAN UNLEASHED 360 FIGURES: The 360 designation of these new
Unleashed figures means that they are extremely articulated action figures
instead of the staionatry Unleashed figures from Star Wars or
Transformers. I took a look at them all in person today and was quite
happy with them - the images don't do the figures justice, they are fairly
large, nicely equipped, and reasonably priced at $24.99 each.

Ok, that got my attention. I'm all over that.

When were Ironhide and Ratchet first re-released? I only remember the Bot-Con exclusives.

They were E-Hobby reissues in Japan. I think they came out in 2000 or 2001, I'm not sure. A whole bunch of reissues came out with them (Sideswipe, Red Alert, Hoist, etc...)

damn,ultimate bb still isn't in yet

Finally, a decent price on re-issue figures. But since they are already E-Hobby releases I guess that makes it a zero chance of an E-Hobby diaclone black repaint? Doh!

a) rock on to the ironhide re-release! WOOOOO!

3) i may come across as a moron for asking (in b4 gtfo n00b) but what the deuce is ehobby? i hear about it everywhere.
