So the Captain America movie line has hit TRU.

The 3.75 series 1 have 4 figures, Ultimate Captain America, Winter Soldier , Captain America and WWII Cap. $9.99 each.
There's 2 vehicle sets as well. Both are Captain Americas with a jeep or a truck.
Cap on a bike, 4 sets of deluxe Captain America(These are 3.75 but no "elbrows")

Transformers Dark of the Moon has arrives. Too many lines. No sign of Leader Class Optimus Price yet.

Cars2 have hit as well.

In reguards to Cloud's recent posting, from what I can see in both stores and at Marvelous News, I just wanted to point out that the 4" Deluxe Cap figures do have at least basic elbow and knee joints, as well as ball jointed arms. Can't tell if they have ball jointed legs or not, but they sure look like they do. The vehicle sets though seem to have very basic articulation. Also, there is a Lego Cars 2 line as well, both regular Lego, and the pre-school Duplo line.

As well, I wanted to point out that Hasbro has now re-released and repainted the role playing Electronic Wolverine Claw(These 1st appeared in X-men Orgins: Wolverine line, as I recall the glove being brown/black and orange, maybe to imply that it's based on the Brown Suit Wolverine), with the glove this time being blue with yellow highlights(Maybe to imply the current comic book/Astonishing X-men look), and under the "X-men: First Class" banner(The logo is based on the comic book logo, not the movie logo) instead of Marvel Universe banner or any other Marvel line. The packaging on the back shows 4 Marvel Universe X-men theme figures, which were Jim Lee verison/1990's Cyclops, Apocalpse, 1st Apperence Wolverine, and Archangel. I believe it costs around the $25-$30 price range. I know Hasbro has said they aren't planning on doing a dedicated X-men Orgins: First Class line, but the fact that this claw toy is under the First Class banner makes me suspect Hasbro may actually do a First Class line or something, I don't know.

(1.) From Friday, May, 6, 2011, and until Thursday, June, 2, 2011, Zellers is once again have a sale on some of their Hasbro toys brands. This time, the sale includes some toys from G.I. Joe(Both Rise Of Cobra and Pursuit Of Cobra), Spider-man, Iron Man(Iron Man 2 and The Armoured Avenger lines), and Transformers(Revenge Of The Fallen, Hunt For The Decepticons, Power Core Combiners, Speed Stars 1:64 scale and Stealth Force, and Reveil The Sheild. Generations isn't part of the sale. Don't know about Dark Of The Moon, but I would guess no for now). Just keep in mind that it's might not be all the toys in these lines, just some or most of them.

In reguards to G.I. Joe: Pursuit Of Cobra, both the Alpha Class and Mech Suits are about $5 off, however I don't know if the 4" figures are on sale, let along if the Bravo Class vehicles are on sale too, only beacause I haven't seen any in stock at Zellers recently to find out. That said, I have a favour to ask everyone here: If you do go to any Zellers stores anytime soon, keep an eye out for any POC Bravo Class vehicles(Espeically the Wolf Hound/Snow Cat because that's what I'm looking for), and if you do see any, scan the price to find out if they are on sale or not(The normal Zellers price would be between $27-$30).

Got some updates on the Hasbro Zellers sale going on until Thursday, June, 2, 2011. 1st off, some of the toys from the Marvel Superhero Squard line are part of this sale too. Next, I want to remind people that it's not every toy from these 5 Hasbro lines(G.I. Joe, Spider-man, Transformers, Iron Man, and Superhero Squad) that will be on sale. For example, while some of the Iron Man: The Armoured Avenger toys are on sale, the 6" figures aren't. Finally, inreguards to Zellers sale on G.I. Joe toys, Pursuit Of Cobra 4" figures are on sale for around $7(Regular price at Zellers is $9).

More updates on this Hasbro Zellers sale. So I was able to conferm that most if not all the Transformers: The Dark Of The Moon line is not part of this sale that ends on Thursday, June, 2, 2011. That said, in reguards to the Dark Of The Moon packaging verisons of the Speed Stars: Stealth Force Motocycles, I don't know if those are part of the sale or not, becuase when I scanned them, it never gave me a price of them, and said something like "Ask Associate For Help". I know the regular packaging Speed Stars: Stealth Force Motocycles are part of this sale though, but I don't know about the Dark Of The Moon style packaging verisons of these motocycles(By the way, the motocycles of both package verisons are exactly the same, no new paint decos or different characters, with the same bios on both style packagings. Just different style packaging is all). I should note that many stores are putting both style packagings in the same areas on the same shelfs/pegs. I do know that the other size Dark Of The Moon Speed Stars: Stealth Force toys aren't part of the sale, so who knows.

As well, at 1 Zellers I went to, I just happened to find 1 G.I. Joe 25th Anniversity Comic Book 2 pack. And while some G.I. Joe toys are part of the sale, it looks like the sale won't include any 25th Anniversity toys(If you happen to get lucky and find any), because the Comic Book 2 pack scanned at the regular price of around $16.

[A_Spidey_Fan]

Somethings recently:

(1.) Wave 2 of the 6" Iron Man: The Armored Avenger is now out in both regular retail and comic book stores, which includes Crimson Dynimao, The Intitive War Machine, Stealth Armour Mark IV Iron Man, and Mark V Evolutions Armour Iron Man.

(2.) Looks like Toys Toys Toys has the figures from the DC Universe Classics Collect-To-Connect Darkseid Wave for around $7 each. Keep in mind that I don't know if it's all Toys Toys Toys, or just some, let alone if this price is a temporary sale or that's the price they are selling these for regularly.

(3.) In reguards to Hasbro's Captian America: The First Avenger line in retail, they now have the Electronic 10" figure, the 8" Roto-cast figure, and the huge Vehicle with a motocycle and 4" Cap for between the $30-$40 price range(Forgot exact price).

(4.) For the Green Lantern Movie line, there is now a 4" Battle Shifters/Deluxe Kilowog with a transforming construct. There is also a Hot Wheels Green Lantern theme track set, which is around $25.

(5.) The Toys R Us(TRU for short) Exclusive 4" Marvel Universe Giant Size X-men 6 pack is now out in Canada at TRU for around $45. There are 2 verisons of this set, in reguards to Storm and Nightcrawler. 1 set has Storm with white "Comic Book Shadow" like marks and Nightcrawler is partly done in seethrough purple plastic. The other set has these 2 done normal(Storm has no white marks, and Nightcrawler is done normally/with no see through plastic).

(6.) The 4" Marvel Universe X-men Orgins: First Class Comic Book 2 packs are now in retail. 1 set has Cyclops and Jean Grey, and the other has Brown Suit Wolverine V.S. Sabertooth.

(7.) A new wave of the G.I. Joe: Pursuit Of Cobra is now out in Comic Book and Collector Toy Stores. This wave includes Cobra Commander in a Winter like jacket, Blowtorch(Repaint of the 25th Anniversity figure), Croc Master(Repaint of the 25th Anniversity figure), General Hawk, and Temple Snake Eyes. I think these sets of figures is actually a mixture of 2 Waves. Either way, I hope these and other figures do show up in retail soon.

(8.) There are some new Lego sets and toyline, including a new line call Alien Conquest(Humans V.S. Aliens theme line), some new Star Wars and Ninjago sets(Including some Ninjago sets that don't have the spinblade "Beyblade" like capability, just Ninjago figures with accessories and small playsets), and for the City line, they now have some Outer Space/NASA inspire theme sets.

(9.) For the Cars 2 line, there are some TRU Exlcusives, including some customizing Model Kits like toys(Including sets of the characters themselves, and some additional accessory sets to futher customize them), and a RC 2 pack.

(10.) For Transformers: Dark Of The Moon line, some new toys are now out, including some approx 5"-6" and approx 10" non-transforming action figures with gimicks, as well as Wave 2 of the various scale toys, including Voyager(Shockwave, and a Autobot Helicopter), Deluxe(Including the "Lowe's" Race Car Wreakers guy), Cyberverse Commander/Scout Class toys(Includes Powerglide and Blackout With Scorpinock) and Cyberverse Legends scale toys(Includes a redeco Bumblebee with black and sliver marks, Mudflap, and the red and black Wreaker).

As well for Dark Of The Moon, the TRU Exclusive "Mission Earth" toys are now out as well, including the Deluxe Scan Series(Toys partly done in seethrough plastic to repersent the robots in mid-scan. The 1st wave is Ironhide and Sideswipe), and the Evolution Legends/Cyberverse 4 Pack(Repaints of Legends G1 Bumblebee and Cybertron Starscream, and repaints/partly see through plastic verisons Legends Revenge Of The Fallen Bumblebee and Starscream with remodifly hands to hold weapons). The TRU Exclusive Evolutions 4 Pack is around $20.

(11.) At Real Canadian Superstore, they now have the hard to find 1st Wave of the Transformers: Reveil The Shield Scout Class toys, which has Chopsaw and Windcharger. They also had the Reveil The Sheild Legends class toys.

(12.) Wave 2 of the Tron Legency 4" figures are now out in both Winners(And maybe Marshells) and Real Canadian Superstore. So far, I've only seen Jarvis and Quorra. I don't know if there are any other figures from this wave or not.

(13.) At Winners(And I'm assuming Marsheels has this as well), I saw that for the approx 2" Iron Man 2 line, they now released a Whiplash figure for it. Whiplash isn't on the back of the packaging, so I was surprised about Whiplash in the approx 2" line.

Is anyone else here having problems paying with a credit card through paypal ?... I'm wondering if its because of the PO thing ...

[A_Spidey_Fan]

(1.) Incase any of anyone missed the posting on the TNI website, under the 1:64 Scale 2011 Hot Wheels Garage line, they have released a detailed verison of Hal Jorden's 1971 Dodge Challenger, as this is part of the Hot Wheels Green Lantern movie toys, including the fact that the packaging uses green instead of red. Under the 2011 Garage line, it's Car# 14/15. I got mine from Sears, but these should be showing up in other Canadian retail stores soon that sell the Hot Wheels Garage line. The 1:64 Hot Wheels Garage line in Canadian retail ranges from between $3.50-$5.00, depending on the retail store. I have yet to seen the more basic 1 that will be released in the regular basic Hot Wheels line Here's the link I submitted to TNI for more info and pics:

- http://toynewsi.com/...10&itemid=17332

(2.) For the Mega Blocks Halo 6" Magnetic Figures line, the see-through Spartain figure is now re-released in blue packaging. Before, it was in black. As well, there is now a Toys R Us Exclusive Armour 3 Pack now out at TRU, which features 3 different orange colour Spartain armours, and 1 magnetic figure. This TRU Exclusive costs around $23.

(3.) Under the Mega Blocks Dragons Universe line, they now have this pack that includes about 6 very small dragons, and they come with a set of cards(Probably for some card playing game of some sort). Forgot the price.

(4.) At Toys Toys Toys, it looks like the DC Universe Classics Darkseid Wave is now upped in price to around $10 each(Before, it was around $7 each). As well, Toys Toys Toys now have the SDCC 2010 Exclusive Star Wars Visionaries Comic Book 2 Pack: Darth Maul(With cybernetic legs and larger horns) V.S. Uncle Owen for around $20. The packaging for this set is special in that it's boxed, and has a flap to open to see the figures and comic book.

I didn't know they made a HotWheels for Hal Jordan's car in the movie. It's not essential to the character but somehow I do want one for my HW collection.

I mainly picked it up because it was part of the Hot Wheels Green Lantern line with a unique packaging(Which will be pointless once I open it, but I will keep the card though). Plus, the Garage 2011 verison is more detail than the 1 in the 2011 Basic Hot Wheels 1:64 scale line(2011 New Models Car# 12/50: Green Lantern: 1971 Dodge Challenger), which by the way, I haven't see yet. Plus, since it's a Green Lantern related vehicle that makes sense(Because it's supposely used by Hal in the movie), I wanted to pick it up. At least it's consider a offical product with the GL label, cause otherwise, I probably wouldn't have picked it up. I'm sure both DC fans and Hot Wheels collectors will want to pick it up since the vehicle was apparently in the movie(I haven't seen GL movie yet), which was why I submitted the info to be posted on the TNI website.

That said Cloud, if you aren't too sure you want to invest $3.50-$5 before tax on the detailed Garage verison, I'm sure the more basic verison will do just fine, espeically for the approx $1.50 price that it's going for(Though that will include more shifting through the basic packaging Hot Wheels cars, and there's usually a bunch to shift through).

That said, under the 1:64 Hot Wheels Garage line, I hope in the near future, Mattel decides to re-release some Batmobiles in this line(Maybe with a subtitle "Bruce Wayne Garage Collection", or "Gotham City Garage"), as the Garage line usually has more detail in both paint, as well as the wheels. They could also do some other Gotham City vehicles as well(Such as villians, Gotham City Police, other Bat vehicles, etc). Would defenetly pick up are more detailed 1960's T.V. Batmobile(Espeically if they add more paint to the model, and maybe for good measure, add a trailer hitch), 1960's T.V. Batboat on a trialor, Tim Burton Batmobile, and Batman Forever Batmobile. It would be a nice replacement after Mattel canceled the 1:50 scale Batman Hot Wheels line(Always still though the line should of been either 1:64 or 1:43 scale in the 1st place).

Now, for some things I've seen recently:

(1.) For Transformers: Dark Of The Moon(DOTM for short) line: - For the Cyberverse line, the Ark Playset With Roller is now out for around $40.

- The DOTM 1:64 scale Speed Stars vehicles are not out, as some are plastic(Including some done in seethrough plastic), and others are die-cast. Only seen the single packs so far, as they cost around $4. It should be noted that both Autobot and Decepticon verisons of the regular DS DOTM video game each comes with a unique deco of a 1:64 scale Speed Stars vehicle. I don't know if they are die-cast or not(They do look like though), as the Autobot verison comes with "Stealth Force"/Weapons reveil Bumblebee, and the Decepticon verison comes with Lockdown. Don't know if this is a limited time thing or not, but I'm assuming it is. The Regular DS DOTM video game is about $30. By the way, this is for regular DS Video Games, not the 3DS DOTM: Stealth Force Video Game.

- Speaking of Transformers, Giant Tiger now has The Hunt For Decepticons Deluxe figures for $9.

(2.) The Toys R Us(TRU) Exclusive Die-cast Green Lantern Ring with a keychain is now out at TRU for around $10. The die-cast ring is done by Mattel.

(3.) It seems both Giant Tiger and Zellers have now reduced the price of the 5 pack Micro Systemz sets, as Zellers now have them for around a $1, while Giant Tiger now has them for around $2.50. Before, these were selling for around $4. Micro Systemz scale is close to Micro Machines size.

[A_Spidey_Fan]

Hasbro's Transformers KER-O line is now out(Lego-esque Transformers. Defently looking better than BTR from years ago). There are 3 sizes, as some include Lego-esque Mini figures, which will usually have the Mini-Figures based on G1 characters and counterparts, and maybe a human driver. Basic/Small boxes(Contains no Mini-Figures) is around $10, and so far, I've only seen Optimus Prime(No trailer, just front truck) and Bumblebee. Then we have medium sizes(Contains 2 KER-O Mini-Figures) for around $15, and so far, I've only seen Jazz(Includes a G1 Jazz Mini-figure, and a human driver). Then there is the larger size box(Contains 3 KER-O Mini Figures) for around $30, and I've only seen Bumblebee so far(Includes a human driver, G1 Bumblebee, and G1 Red Alert).

[Opticon]

Dont know if these have been out for a while, but I saw the newer series of 6" movie Iron Man stuff at walmart - Crimson Dynamo, Stealth IM, and Initiative War Machine.

I thought the Hal's car was under the normal Hot Wheels line with a different package. Is the garage line the same scale as the normal Hot WHeels for less than $2? Both are 1:64 right? I actually don't open my Hot Wheels. I just keep them displayed on the wall. Easier to manage that way. I wish Mattel released more Batmobiles in the HotWheels line. We've got the 1989 Batmobile and Tumbler for the normal 1:64 line, a 2003 Batmobile(Same design as the 6" Batman toyline version) and the one from The Batman animated. They only released the Forever and B&R Batmobile in a collectors edition 2 pack and that's it. I wasn't able to find the Foerever and B&R HotWheels.

1st off, let me say sorry for not responding earlier Cloud. Been somewhat busy. In reguards to your question, there is going to be 3 verisons of the 1:64 scale 2011 Hot Wheels Green Lantern 1971 Dodge Challenger:

(1.) 1 verison is from the main/basic 1:64 scale line, as it's part of the 2011 New Models subline, which typically costs around $1.50 in Canadian retail, depending on the store you go to. While it has yet to be released in Canada, according to the U.S. packaging, it will have the Green Lantern Movie logo at the top corner. Here's a link from Hollywood Diecast to see the pic of the front packaging:

- http://www.hollywood...0challenger.JPG

(2.) Next, is the 1:64 scale Hot Wheels Garage line verison(The 1 I got), which will have more detail on the car than usual(Espeically on the tires and wheels), and this will usually cost between $3.50-$5.00, depending on the Canadian retail store you get it from. To make the GL car more special, the packaging is going to use Green instead of the usual Red that the Garage line uses, making it much easier to spot, and of course, it will have the GL Movie logo on it. The Garage line is 1 of those various 1:64 scale Hot Wheels special/collector/speical feature/more detailed lines, which usually either has more detail(Usually in paint), different style of wheels, special features(Like water colour change), and/or special decos when comparing to the more basic Hot Wheels line. Here's a link from the TNI website for a pic of the front packaging, and for more info, just refer to my posting about 5 postings from here in this topic:

- http://i.toynewsi.co...ize=600&start=0

(3.) Finally, there will be a 1:64 scale Hot Wheels Colour Shifters verison. No pics have been released at this time on what it will look like, let alone how the colour changing is going look like(Will it go from orange to green? Will it be glow in the dark?, etc). Colour Shifters usually costs around $4-$5 depending on the Canadian retail store you get it from. Colour Shifters is what I would consider 1 of those Hot Wheels Special Features lines, since it has a special feature that's changes colour or reveils some paint detail with water, or glows in the dark(Don't know if that's water based or not), and costs more than the regular 1:64 scale because of the speical features.

I hope this clears things up for you Cloud.

Now, for my reports on things I've seen and read online:

(1.) According to the Joe Canuck website(A Canadian based G.I. Joe fan site), they reveiled that the G.I. Joe: Pursuit Of Cobra Wave 3 Alpha Class vehicles(Which includes the Hiss Scout, and Armour Motocycle) will be a Zellers Exclusive in Canada, and that they maybe arriving in Zellers stores in the very near future. Other than Singapore, Wave 3 of the Alpha Class vehicles has yet to be released anywhere else to my knowledge, including the U.S., cause Hasbro is still trying to sort that out for the U.S. market, though they've hinted that it maybe a online store exclusive. Here are 2 links, with the 1st from Joe Intel from a recent Q and A session from a while ago that hinted that these would show up in Canada, and the 2nd from Joe Canuck messageboards for more info about Zellers getting this Wave as an exclusive:

- http://www.joeintel....p=3694#post3694
- http://www.joecanuck....php?f=4&t=5778

(2.) At Winners(And maybe Marshell's), they now have the 2010 Convention Exclusive Star Wars The Vintage Collection Bounty Hunters 2 pack for around $10. I don't remember if it was a 2010 SDCC or Star Wars Convention exclusive, but reguardless, they are now out at Winners and maybe Marshell's.

(3.) For the Toys R Us Exclusive True Heroes line, they now have a subline call Pirates, which features some Pirates theme toys.

[A_Spidey_Fan]

Been a long time since I post here at least. Going to post some updates and stuff since the last post here:

(1.) For those who like to Price Match: It looks like Zellers has now changed their price matching policy. Before, they use to allow price matching in "##% Off" sales(Example: 10%, 5%, etc). However, when I tried to price match for a Transformers toy using a Toys R Us(TRU for short) Flyer to take advantage of a TF sale, they wouldn't allow the price matching. I ask to speak to the manager, and he told me that while they may have allowed % Off sales in the past, since approx a month ago, their Head Office sent a memo out saying that they will no longer do % Off sale. Instead, they can only do as he quoted "Dollar For Dollar" sales or rather "Price as advertised" so long as the item is the same regular price as their's(If the regular price is lower Zellers, then they defently won't. If the regular price is higher than Zellers though, I don't know). I decided not to pick up the TF toy. Disappointed as I used to be able to do price matching at Zellers from TRU or Wal-mart Flyers on the Zellers Exclusive stuff, espeically on stuff like "30% Off" sales. Can't get mad at it though, as they do have the right to change the Price Matching policy whenever they feel like it, but if that's the way they want to pay, so be it.

(2.) New 4" Spider-man figures are out, incluing Lizard(Classic look), Shocker, Scorpin(Ultimate verison I think), and a couple of Spidey Variants(Black Costume Show Attack with Armour, Webzooka, and Space Crusader). As well, there appears to be some new vehicles with a figure for the 4" line as well, including some new Zoom And Go(Such as a new motocycle, and a cart like vehicle), a Spidey Coptor, 2 new land car like vehicles, and a new large vehile that splits into 3 seperate vehiles(A small car, hovercraft, and I think a plane/jet of some sort. Plus, the spoiler becomes a glider for the figure).

I should note that for those who are picking up the single 4" Spidey figures, when I price scanned them at Zellers the last time I was there, it seems they've now up the price to around $15!!!! Course that could only be at the Zellers I was at.

(3.) For Transformers: Dark Of The Moon new stuff:

- The Zellers(Target in the U.S.) Exclusive Transformers: Dark Of The Moon movie toys are now out at Zellers, as each of them comes with a mini comic book. So far, I've only seen the Deluxe Class toys in see through plastic and Cybetronion tattoos(Bumblebee, Arcee, Jazz, and Space Case) for around $16, and Voyager Class toys(Ratchet and Starscream) for around $28.

- The Wal-mart Exclusive toys are now out at Wal-mart, which includes a Voyager Class Opimtus Prime And Deluxe Commettor 2 pack for around the $30 price range, Deluxe toys(Optimus Prime with Mech Tech weapon that transforms from a blaster into an ax, and racing verisons of Bumblebee and Sidearm Sideswipe) for around $15(Which I think is almost a $1 cheaper than Wal-marts price of the regular DOTM Deluxe toys), and a Legends Class 3 pack(Repaints of Revenge Of The Fallen's Soundwave and Bumblebee, with Classics G1 Rodimus as and extra figure) which is around the $15-$20 price range.

- Ultimate Mech Tech Optimus Prime(A large Prime toy with a trailer that combines to form a "Butterfly" looking armour) is now out for around $100.

- For the Mech Tech Voyager class toys, I've saw for the 1st time Sentinel Prime, and a repainted Opimtus Prime that comes with a weapon that transforms from a blaster to an ax.

- New Deluxe Mech Tech toys, including Booster Bumblebee, Thundercracker, Lazerbeak, etc.

- Leader Class Mech Tech Ironhide(Love that when you pull down the leaver on his chest, and the gantalnting machine gun pops out of his chest). I don't know or remember if there is another new Leader Class toy or not.

(4.) The Wal-mart Excluisve 4" Green Lantern Movie 2 packs are now out for around $15, as each 2 pack has a GL and a Guardian in each set, with 6 sets to collect according to the packaging. So far, I've only seen sets with Hal Jorden, Sinestro, and Kiliwog.

(5.) Don't know if these are Wal-mart Exclusives or not, but the GL Action League 3 packs are now out for around $13 each. So far, there are 3 sets as each comes with a Hal Jorden figurine. 1 set is Hal with Guy Guradianer and John Stweart, Hal(With electricity on chest) with Sinestro and Tomor-Re, and Max Charge Hal(Green see through plastic) wiht White Lantern Sinestro and Kilowog.

(6.) Wave 2 of both the 4" Basic and Deluxe Captian America: The First Avenger is now out. Basic Wave 2 includes Movie verisons of Red Skull and Cap, Comic Book verisons of Bucky Cap, U.S. Agent, Captain Britian, Crossbones, and Arctic Cap. Deluxe includes huge flamethrower weapon Hydra Soilder, and Night Attack Cap(Repaint of the 1st Wave Cap with a gilder jet pack that fires a sheild). I think there maybe also be a new vehicle with a 4" figure as well(A aircraft of some sort), but I'm not sure.

(7.) Mattel's 6" WWE FelxForce: Smash Scenes is now out, and depending on the store, they range from $20-$25. These FelxForce figures come with a large breakable accessory for the figure to either smash, throw at, smash into, or smash someone into. The large accessories includes a spotlight(Which I think can be customized into a Bat Signal), trash bin/box, and computer/commentator consule(Could be used as a computer consule in a base, lair, maybe the Batcomputer, but to be fair, I'm not sure if it's in proper 6" scale. Maybe for 4" or 5" figures).

(8.) Noticed some new Mcfarlane Halo Reach toys, including single figures, and 3 packs.

(9.) In regurds to some new Mega Blocks toys:

- They now have a Need For Speed line, as it so far includes some small and medium size vehicles.

- Some new Halo toys are now out, as they now are using a blue boarder on the packaging instead of black. Also, Wave 3 of the Halo Mini-Figures are now out, as the packaging for these are orange(These are those single figures that are in a packaging in which you don't know what you are getting until you open it).

- They now have some new Marvel stuff as well, and a new style of packaging for them, in which you can store the figure in the plastic cap of the packaging for storage. There are sets for Iron Man, Spider-man, and Captian America, as both Iron Man and Cap have the Movie Avengers Assemble logo on them. Should note that it looks like the Iron Man sets maybe re-releases in the newer style packaging, but I can't say for sure.

(10.) In Toronto's Underground PATH system, a store call You Send Me has the 4" SDCC 2010 Exclusive Movie Spider-man figure for around $13 regular price. I should also note that the comic book store Planet X currently has a sale on this figure for the month of August for around $10(Regular at Planet X is around $20).

(11.) There are some new 1:64 scale Basic Hot Wheels 2011(Costs around $1.50 in regular retail) vehicles now out, including the basic verison of the Orange Hal Jorden 1971 Dodge Challanger(2011 New Models Car# 24/50) which has the movie GL logo on the packaging.

(12.) Although I've yet to see it myself, I've hard that the TRU Exclusive Masterpice Rodimus toy is now out, as it's regular price is between $65-$70.

(13.) The 4" Marvel Univerise 3 packs are now out in both regular retail and comic book/collector toy stores, which includes Modern X Force, Fantastic 4, and Classic Avengers. In regular retial, the sets seem to be around $25.

(14.) So far only at comic book and collector toy stores, I've seen Wave 2 of the 4" Thor Movie line, which includes the Warriors 3, redeco Odin, King Loki, and variant Helment Thors.

(15.) Wave 1 of Mattel's 6" Batman Legency line is now out in both retail and comic book/collector toy stores, which includes singles and 2 packs. In regular retail, the singles cost around $21, while the 2 packs are around $42.

(16.) I don't know if it's Wave 5 or Wave 6, but either 1 of those waves from the 4" G.I. Joe: Pursuit Of Cobra is now out in regular retail, which includes Blowtroch(Classic colours so far), General Hawk, Helment Cobra Commander in a jacket, Steel Brigade, Cobra Trooper, and Jungle B.A.T. As well, although this was back in early July 2011, Winners(And maybe Marshells) got the Pursuit Of Cobra Wave 3 Alpha Class vehilces with 4" figure for around $10, which included the Joe Armour Cycle, and H.I.S.S. Scout, though you may never know if they will restock or not.

I hope we'll be getting the new Marvel Legends soon. We're always so behind for no reason. It's like a 2-3 hour drive to the States and the stock is so different.

lol only time i ever go down it to go to eccc Someone please post if you spot these things here

[Opticon]

Havent seen them yet, not sure if I ever will. Did see the 3 3/4" Avengers at Zellers yesterday though.

[Dark_Phoenix]

Was at the TRU on Broadway this morning, they had 4 full cases of the new marvel legends series 1 in. Of the two that I saw opened, both were the regular cases, no variants

[A_Spidey_Fan]

Opticon: The regular Zellers stores(Not the ones that are closing/liquadation at the moment) do have the 4" Avengers figures. As well, I should note that I've also seen the Movie Quinjet for the 4" figures as well at Zellers, as it looks like it will retail for between $35-$40, depending on the retailler. There is also a RC Quinjet toy by Thinkway Toys, but I forgot the price of it.

Has anyone seen the Variants of the 1st Wave of Marvel Legends(See-through sheild Commander Rogers, Stealth Extremis Iron Man, and Orange Ghost Rider) in regular retail yet? I know comic book stores have them, but I've yet to see them in regular retail, as I want to get the variant Rogers and Iron Man to complete my Terrax.

Should note that for the regular Transformers Prime(White packaging) line, I've recently started to see the Cyberverse line, including Bumblebee, Arcee, Rachet, Chiffjumper, Vehicon, Starscream, Megatron, Blukhead, and Optimus Prime. That said, I haven't seen the ones that come with the Mini DVD. Deluxes and Voyager Class toys have been out for a while.

Also, for the G.I. Joe 30th Anniversity, I've recently seen Wave 2(Along with a restock of Wave 1) and Wave 3 figures. Wave 2 has the Renegades verisons of Snake Eyes, Duke, Cobra Commander, and Firefly, while Wave 3 has Renegades verisons of Storm Shadow, Cobra Trooper, Scarlett, Tunnel Rat, as well as 30th Anniversity verison of the Techo Viper.

For those looking for Wave 2 of the 4" Avengers figures, those are at least out in comic book and collector toy stores, as this wave includes Hulk, Modern Cap, Loki, helment less Thor, Mark VII Iron Man, and a repainted Mark VI Iron Man that looks kind of like a Stealth Armour colours. Retail I'd imagine will get them soon.

Things I've seen recently:

- Battleship Movie toys have started to show up, including the Kero toys, and the Movie Edition of the Classic Battleship.

- Looks like The Amazing Spider-man movie toys are now out(Saw them at a Zellers), but that said, I don't know if they are suppose to be out, or on hold for a later date. I've so far seen some 4" figures, the Electronic 10" figure, and the Spider-man Chest light up thing(Similar to the Iron Man Arc Chest piece from the Iron Man movie and Avengers lines).

- Toys Toys Toys has some Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides 6" figures, including both singles(Forgot the price, but I believe around $10), and 2 packs for around $15 price range. Never seen or heard about the 2 packs before, but there are 2 sets and they look like they just contain 2 figures from the 6" Singles line, and as far as I can tell, no changes to them. For the 2 packs, 1 set has Captain Jack Sparrow(Not sure, but I think it could be the Wave 2 verison which is more action figure like than the stuck in dramatic pose Wave 1 figure) and Captain Barbossa, and the 2nd set has Blackbeard and Angelica.

As many of you guys know, Zellers for a while has started to close down some of their stores, as it gets ready to be converted into Target stores. For those who want to know which stores are closing down right now, here are 2 links from Zellers website:

- http://www.zellers.c...en/default.aspx
- http://www.zellers.c...liquidation.pdf

The 1st link is about which stores are starting their Liquidation Sales, in which all you have to do is choose which proviance/terrtory you live in to see. The 2nd link is a .pdf file about the Store Policies to these Liquidation Zellers stores. Just letting people here know incase they want to look for any good Clearence deals at any Zellers stores that's closing down near them.

Also, I forgot to mention a few more new things as well in my pervious post:

- Wave 2 of the Halo 10th Anniversity Series by McFarlane Toys has recently come out, which includes a Red Team 3 Pack, as well as singles which includes "The Package" verison of Master Chief as he appeared in 1 of the Animated Halo Legends short "The Package". For all singles, collect them all to create some sort of UNSC logo.

- Also from McFarlane Toys, some new Halo Reach toys have been in retail for a little while now, which includes various singles, as well as 3 packs and boxsets.

- Still with Halo toys, the Mega Blocks/Brands Halo Metal Series are now out, as these are more smaller Mega Blocks verisons of the Halo Universe done in diecast and plastic, as it features figurines stuck in a pose, and smaller verisons of some vehicles, but in Mega Blocks form. My understanding with these is to use these for smaller scale displays, as you can connect the lands/bases together to form a larger display thanks to the small scale.

- A new wave of the 1:64 scale Hot Wheels Nostalgic Brands line is now out, as this wave is the Hanna Barabra line. The Nostalgic Brands line is basically Hot Wheels cars that have decos based on a certain brand in each wave, in this case, based on Hanna Barabra characters, as well as features more detail tires, and maybe even some rubber tires as well. Nostalgic Brands is not part of the more basic $1.50 lines, but 1 of those more collector/limited lines that usually costs around or just under $5.

- Lego Avengers Movie toys are now out.

- The new wave of the Lego Mini Figures are now out, as I think we are now on Wave/Series 7.

Somethings I've seen recently:

(1.) Of course, everyone should know by now that The Dark Knight Rises toys from Mattel are now out, including the 6" Movie Masters, roleplaying stuff, QuickTek stuff, and the 4" stuff. Should note that for the basic 4" figures(None Quicktek armour stuff), while the U.S. basic 4" figures come with accessories(For the various Batmen figures, they all seem to come with 1 weapon, and 1 oversized Batarang which looks like it belongs for the 6" figures), in Canada, the Basic 4" figures don't come with accessories at all, just the figure it's self.

(2.) For the 6" DC Universe Classics line, some new Toys R Us(TRU for short) Exclusive 2 Packs are now out at Canadian TRU stores for around $35. 1 set is Red Azreal Bats V.S. Batman(Blue and Grey with a scratch Oval Bat logo to show Azreal Bat took a swipe at Bruce), and the other set is Yellow Hal V.S. Blue Kyle.

(3.) For the 4" Avengers line, there is a TRU Exclusive 4 Pack now out at Canadian TRU stores for around $40, as usuals molds from the Thor, Cap, and Iron Man 2 lines. The set features 1st Movie Cap in what looks like Ultimate Cap colours, Helment Thor with a lot of blue on his chest(Don't remember if the blue was see-through plastic or a very rich metallic blue), King Loki in a more metallic green colour costume, and a huge heavy armour Iron Man figure(Triangle Arc Reactor) which never got released/was cancelled during the Iron Man 2 line.

[A_Spidey_Fan]

(1.) Lots of new Hot Wheels stuff I've seen recently in regular retail:

(a.) For the Hot Wheels 1:64 scale Nostalgic Brands line, they now have The Saturday Evening Post deco vehicles.

(b.) Hot Wheels now has Rock N Roll them Highway Hauler Trucks with trailers, in which they feature decos of AC/DC, KISS, and Jett Jackson. I don't know the scale of these trucks, but they defently bigger than 1:64 scale.

(c.) Hot Wheels has now started back their 1:50 scale Batman vehcile line, as the packaging has a Batcave theme to it. There is some singles packagings, as they cost around $10, which includes The Pengiun's Rubber Ducky vehicle from Batman Returns, the Batcopter from the 1960's T.V. Show, the 1960's T.V. Batmobile with trailer hitch re-released, and the Tim Burton Batmobile Sheilds Up re-released as it looks like it has a bit of battle damage to it. There is also some 3 Packs as well, 3 different types in total as they all use the same type of packaging that the 2008 SDCC Excluive 3 Pack had, which included a background of the 1960's T.V. Batcave. 1 set is a Tim Burton Movie set which features the Tim Burton Batmobile with bullet holes, Batwing, and BatSkiBoat. The 2nd set is a Christopher Nolen Movie set, as it includes the Batpod, and both verisons of The Tumbler Batmobile(Both the orginial Desert Camo, and the Black verisons). The last set features a Silver verison of the 1960's T.V. Batmobile with trailer hitch, Superfriends Batmobile, and a modern Comic Book Batmobile.

(d.) Speaking of Batman, Mattel is now doing a 1:64 Scale dedicated Batman line as well, as there is 8 vehicles to collect. All vehciles are release as singles for the price of around $1.80, as they are re-releases and maybe some repaints/redeco's of pervious 1:64 scale Batman vehicles. The 8 vehicles in this line are the 1960's T.V. Batmobile, the 2nd verison(AKA: EXP) of The Batman Batmobile(Red lines verison), Brave And The Bold Batmobile, Hard Nose verison of the Tim Burton Batmobile, Arkham Asylum Batmobile, Batman Begins Batcopter, and both the Regular and the Crooze verisons of the 2003 Mattel 6" line Batmobile.

(e.) There is a The Dark Knight 1:64 scale 5 pack, which features the Tumbler Batmobile(Which this time has the back wheels with more texture/something that looks like it can handle rough roads), GCPD Car(Lighter shade of blue when compared to 2 of the Batman Begins 5 pack variants as this also has some Police light bars at the top), Jokermobile(A remodification of the Bone Shaker mold, as it has The Joker's face instead of a Skull's), Armoured Bank Truck, and Batcopter(Should of either been the Batpod, or Bruce's Lamborghini Murciélago). Hot Wheels 1:64 scale 5 packs are usually around the $8 price range.

(2.) The Batman Power Attack(AKA: Evergreen) line has been out for a while, includes The Batmobile, single basic figures(Such as various Batman's, Robin, and Killer Croc), and Deluxe Action Feature figures. Wave 2 has recently come out, as it includes for the basic singles figures, Mr. Freeze, Blizzard Buster Batman(The Arctic theme Batman of the line), Mutating Batman(Comes with some snap on pieces to give the idea that Batman is mutating into a ManBat like creature. The back packaging shows Batman hit with some toxic barrel in the swamp as Killer Croc watches), and 1 more Batman variant that I don't remember. For the Deluxe/Action Feature figure line, The Joker is now out. They also now have out more vehicles, as they this time have smaller vehicles that come with a very less/almost non-articualted Batman figure, with 1 of vehicles being a flying glider like vehicle, and the other being a small tank like ATV vechile.

(3.) A new wave of the 4" Marvel Universe 3 Packs are now out in Comic Book and Collector Toy Stores, as this includes The New Avengers 3 Pack(Red Hulk, Bleeding Edge Iron Man, and Modern Thor who this time has black clothing replaced with blue and maybe has some red details here and there), and a new variant of the Fantastic 4 set, which this time has a see-through verison of the Invisiable Woman. This is the 4th variant of the F4 set now.

[A_Spidey_Fan]

(1.) Winners now has some G.I. Joe 30th Anniversity stuff. This includes the 12" Parachute Figure for around $20, the 4" figures(Waves 1-3 only) for around $8, and Wave 1 of the Bravo Class Vehicles(Vamp II, and Cobra Helicopter) for around $15. Should also note that Zellers now has the same 30th Anniversity Wave 1 Bravo Class vehicles for around $25.

(2.) Also at Winners, they now have the Wal-mart Exclusive 4" Green Lantern Movie Helicopter Construct set for around $8 or $9, which came with a Movie GL Hal in comic book colours, and a helicopter construct that can be seperated into many pieces to use as various constructs(Such as blades, engine fan, saw, etc).

(3.) Also at Winners, they now have a Star Wars: The Clone Wars Animated Gift/5 Pack that was an exclusive to a store, as it features Anakin Skywalker, Count Duoko, Clone Trooper, regular Battle Droid, and Super Battle Droid. The set was around $20. I assume this Star Wars set was a Wal-mart Exclusive, since they've had Marvel and Transformers ones done in a similar style packaging.

(4.) Wave 2 of the Transformers Prime Cyberverse line is now out, as it includes Cyberverse verisons of Ironhide, Dreadwing, Vehicon, and Breakdown as well as from the Movie universe, repainted Mirage and Soundwave from the Dark Of The Moon line, as well as Evac who is based on the Movie Ride.
