Toronto Crazy Mike's Collecting News. Summer 2004

I need to save up for a Eowyn Costume. Yet I'll be sure to save for the Toy Fair aswell.

I need a man servant to carry around my stuff though

 

Toy Fair? How are you going to get in as it's a trade show in New York?

 

New York?

 

I think that Tessa is talking about the October 19th Toy show Son..

 

I am so absultly lost.. Don't do this to a blonde!

 

If you look up 5 posts from this one, you wrote that you were going to Toy Fair. I assume you meant the toy show as Dad has explained. Toy Fair is a toy trade show in NYC so I was surprised when you said you were going to Toy Fair.

 

Well I do have a small update to pass along. I spoke to my Hasbro rep neighbour and he is reporting that there should be a small trickle of tri-logo Clone Wars toys available this fall from Toys R Us. Hopefully the toy situation should start to improve by next spring. Wal Mart has dropped the line for now but will pick it up again as EPIII approaches...

 

I was wondering if anyone has spotted those
clonetrooper 3 packs in their travels...

 

Hey Mike, Nick, John and I found a toy pack we'd nver seen before...it had a new swoop bike, figure stands, IG88, Boba Fett, Bosk and Aurra Sing.

Have you seen THAT before?

 

Ah yes the bounty hunter pack at Toys R Us
I believe...

 

Yes...ah nuts you know All!!

Howabout the blue Jedi Starfighter Alex say at World con?

 

I do not know if the blue starfighter made it to retail stores in Canada but you can
pick one up at Silver Snail for about $30.
It is in Saga packaging and it comes with
an Obi Wan figure...

 

Ah!! you know of it lol!

Actually Alex saw it, and was like, they stolemy colour scheme for my film

Have to check out teh snail

 

Just a heads up, The General Store, that weird boutique store full of stalls for other business has a large section of Figures, including:
aalya Secura
Teebo reissue
Taun We and Clone Kid
Yoda and Bear Clan member
Padme/Anakin/Kenobi from the release era

And a bunch more. 14.99

Burlington location anyways. Don't know about others.

Oh, and my loose figures are almost all sorted and bagged with their bits, Mike, do you want first crack at them? Would you rather a list or just a sampling at a time to ponder?

 

The Jedi Starfighter w/ Obi Wan was a Kaybee Toys Exclusive in the US. Just wanted to share that in case someone wanted to know.

 

Yes please Chris. Please send me a list !!!

Thanks for the info son. Have you had any luck with those clonetrooper 3 packs...

 

I thought that I would post this here for
folks to read today:



As I think of you all
tears fall from my face.
Remembering that day
so much grief so much waste.

How strong you all were
in the weeks and months to follow.
Courage, dignity, and strength
through the pain and the sorrow

The fire, port,and policeman
working all day and all night.
such heroes there have never been
it was an unspeakable sight.

Brought us much closer
as today we reflect.
On a city that is reborn
9 11 I will never forget.

Sorry Dad,

So far all my US buddies has only found me the Jedi Knight 3 pack (finally). They're still working on finding me the Jedi Council sets. As for the Clone Trooper 3 packs, those have sold very well. And it seems like the one with the Green Clone Trooper has been garnering a lot of attention.

 

Very interesting son. I need alot of clonetroopers for my diorama that I am creating so if you see any
let me know

 

Hey dad, tommorow I'm hitting all the comic and toy shops in Toronto. Anything you want me to look out for?

 

Well lets see.... the Genosian war room and Jedi council 3 packs

 

Silver Snail now has these in stock along with the clone trooper 3 packs. Go get them everyone !!!!

 

They do indeed! Priced at about $23... and they also had the movie scenes... *drools*

 

The zgenosian fighter and Haifire droids are starting to appear at Target stores in the US. Silver Snail should be getting them in
the coming weeks. They will probably be selling for $40- $50 CDN....

 

Jedi Knight 3 pack?
