New changes coming to our Website!

2011-01-20T23:56:00.010-05:00

We are VERY excited about some changes coming to our website over the next month or so. We are in the process of upgrading to new shopping cart software that should prove to be more user friendly and easier to navigate than ever before.

Have you ever seen those websites that give you an opportunity to write a user or product review? What's the incentive? Who actually takes their time to give their opinion of a product when there's nothing in it for them?

Let's ask this question... what if you could earn reward points toward future products by writing product reviews on our website and sharing your thoughts on what you received from us last week?

Finally, one of the biggest changes coming will allow our site to be optimized for mobile devices such as the iPhone, Android phone, Blackberry, Windows 7 smart phones and many more. Lets face it... m-commerce is a growing business and with our new mobile device optimization you will experience faster loading pages & a quick, easy check-out process all from the convenience of your phone!

New Facebook page...

New Products & Post SDCC Recap...

2009-07-31T23:21:00.003-04:00

After play catch-up for the last week, we were FINALLY able to update our website with all the cool new products & pieces that were previewed at SDCC this past week.

While there are too many new additions to list, all of our newly added products can be found by clicking HERE.

Now for my personal SDCC recap commentary...

After attending San Diego Comic Con for the 6th year in a row, I've come to grips with the reality that a person is going spend the first two days standing in lines waiting to buy products if they want to get them before they sell out for the weekend but this year seemed unusually bad. With that being said here's some personal thoughts that I would like to share with some of the vendors:

Mattel: If you're going to double your exclusives from previous years, you had better be prepared to deal with the crowds and stop allowing dealers to buy up all of your inventory in the first two days of the show. Adding a second booth just for sales isn't going to simply solve all the problems of offering too many exclusive products.

Hasbro: Crowd control & the limit of 4 of each item per badge made operations run a WHOLE lot smoother for you this year. I see you learned your lesson from last year!

Gentle Giant: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for loosing the huge Jabba statue this year that took up three quarters of your booth in previous years! Pre-orders were a breeze to pick up and lines were not bad at all!

Hallmark: Way to go on the exclusives this year! I would have liked to have seen some type of lottery system rather than a first come first serve style of selling your products. Had you not been set up close to a wall for lines to form, crowd control would have been a nightmare for you!

Lego: Once again... you have done a fantastic job of offering your products. The lottery/drawing tickets for a chance to buy your exclusives is the best idea I've seen in a long time! It gives everyone an equal chance while weeding out the dealers. Well except for that one guy who was always in your booth at the end of the line offering $10 bucks to people to buy their "winner" tickets.

OfficalPix: While I've always enjoyed your guests and autograph offerings, perhaps the middle of the exhibit hall isn't the best choice for a booth. Might I suggest the Autograph Area in the Sails Pavilion where EVERY OTHER individual with anything sets up for autographs???

Sideshow: Once again... in my opinion you've managed to steal the show with your booth set-up, customer service, product offerings & show exclusives/management.

Elite Security: While I'm sure some of you are really friendly and intelligent individuals, just there to do a job... most of you that I've ran into are just plain asses with a chip on their shoulder & a God complex! You know who I'm talking about. They're the ones that have to have the fancy earpiece attached to a $10 radio & the ones who wear the mirrored sunglasses 100% of the time while inside the building. This year I was literally shoved out of the way while walking through an open aisle by an employee to make way for Gene Simmons. Then on another occasion... threatened to be removed from the building for taking a break and sitting against a wall for five minutes. Yes apparently for the first year in a row it's now a "fire hazard" to sit on the ground anywhere on the floor inside the building on the first floor. Who knew?

Overall I had another great year. It was extra special to me as I was able to share my experiences with my 14 year old son who attended this year with me. I'm already looking forward to next year although it's my understanding that ticket prices will go up next year. Hey SDCC... here's an idea... I'll agree to pay more for tickets next year if you agree to reduce the number of passes you sell.... fair enough?

Sideshow Retail Network...

2009-06-17T20:33:00.005-04:00

Were you late to the game in starting your Sideshow collection and now all of your most-wanted items are Sold Out with no Wait List option available? Have you ever wished you could find your ‘Holy Grail’ of Sideshow collectibles? Are you sick of dealing with sketchy eBay sellers? Before you give up all hope, be sure to try the brand new Retail Network service, which may help you find your most desired, long sold out Sideshow collectibles!

What is it and how can you take advantage of it? It’s a FREE referral service that will hook you up with a Sideshow Collectibles Direct Dealer who may have the item you most desire sitting in their store waiting for YOU! If our Wait List is closed and you are in despair of secondary market searches, simply visit the product page of the sold out item you’d like to find, click the Sideshow Retail Network button, fill out the form (and agree to the Terms and Conditions), and they will search their Direct Dealer inventory database for your collectible. If they find a match, they will then send your contact information to the dealer who may have the item and give you their information too!

Finally, as always if you do not see the product you're looking for on our webite, it doesnt hurt to ask. We may just have it tucked away in our warehouse.

12" GI Joe: Snake Eyes Figure : We have sold through our initial shipment of this item and are currently waiting for our next shipment to arrive sometime this next week.

Orders placed on the waitlist program will be filled on a first come/first serve basis. Once we receive confirmation on how many more pieces we will be receiving we will fill our current orders and close-out the waitlist.

An exciting new chapter in the Star Wars saga has began on October 3, 2008 with the new animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Cartoon Network.The Clone Wars has attracted an incredible average of 9 million viewers every week since it first premiered.

One of the most popular new characters is Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker’s new padawan. Ahsoka, who Anakin “affectionately” refers to as “Snips,” brings a new, empowering attitude to the Star Wars galaxy. As with all Jedi, Ahsoka designed her own lightsaber. You can see the obvious influences in the design of her lightsaber of her Jedi Masters and mentors, including Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker.

Star Wars Boba Fett and Carbonite Maquette Statue no up for Pre-Order...

2009-02-04T09:10:00.005-05:00

We are VERY excited to be able to offer this Exclusive Limited Edition Star Wars Boba Fett and Carbonite Maquette Statue.

Despite having relatively little screen time in the Star Wars films, Boba Fett is a bounty hunter hired by the Empire to track down and capture Luke Skywalker and by Jabba the Hutt to capture Han Solo.

A clone of Jango Fett, Boba was created on Kamino and raised as Jango's natural son. Jango trained the boy in the ways of the Mandalorians. Boba grew up to be a bounty hunter feared and dreaded throughout the galaxy, known for his subtle and cunning moves tracking down his prey. Fett commonly worked for the gangster Jabba the Hutt, and held associations with Darth Vader.

Well according to my contacts, it looks as if this will in fact be a 12" Sideshow piece & will be available to Star Wars fans as early as this week!

Additionally you can expect a price point of that around the 12" Stormtrooper that previewd this past summer at SDCC with a shipping date of sometime in January 2009.

Introducing... "Shards of Alara" the next Magic:The Gathering Set

2008-09-27T04:17:00.007-04:00

Alara was whole once. But that was millennia ago. Where once there was a plane, now there are five: the Shards. The plane of Alara was a world rich with mana, a world in balance… until the Sundering. In a cataclysm of unimaginable proportions, Alara was rent asunder into five separate worlds, each a refraction of the others.

Collector's Highlights
Shards of Alara is the first set in the Shards of Alara block. It is a 249 card expansion with randomly inserted premium cards. It will be available in booster packs, intro packs, and fat packs.

A new world for Magic: The Gathering. Shards of Alara is the first set in the Shards of Alara block. This is a large set of 249 cards, which will be followed by two small expansions: Code name "Paper" in February 2009, and code name "Scissors" in May 2009.

New Rarity: Mythic Rare. Shards of Alara will introduce a new rarity for magic. Booster packs and Tournament packs will now contain land, commons, uncommons, and rares, with approximately one out of every 8 rares replaced with a mythic rare card. There are 15 mythic rare cards in Shards of Alara.

The Return of Planeswalkers: Planeswalkers are the most powerful beings in the multiverse, and planeswalker cards first appeared in the Lorwyn expansion. This popular and powerful card type will return in Shards of Alara.

All New Mechanics: Shards of Alara will introduce several new game mechanics. Stay tuned to magicthegathering.com for updates and details.
There are 249 black-bordered cards in Shards of Alara. (15 Mythic Rare, 53 rare, 60 uncommon, 101 common, 20 basic lands).
