Yeehaw! The new Transformers are here! I fee like they took a little vacation this summer, so it’s good to say they’re back. I really like how these look too, Drift especially. Just take a look for yourself:

Toys on Fire is proud to announce the return (or “the revenge” if that’s cooler) of the March Break Mega-Bowl! Remember last year we had it at the movie theatre, and we had a bunch of Bakugan Tournaments? Well, this time we’ll be having a Bakugan Tournament AND the GoGo’lympics!

Now there aren’t a whole lot of details on this yet, but there haven been rumblings of a Transformers 2: Rise of the Fallen movie party going on at the store! Perhaps you came to the last one we had for the original movie launch. It was a really good time! Lots of rare Transformers and stories being swapped, and of course everyone was pumped for the movie! So keep your eyes peeled on the blog for more details soon to come.

If you like Skywarp, Thundercracker or both you are in luck because we have received the Takara Encore Collection Two-Pack!  Yes, these are the same figures that came out when you were a kid.  Encore: #11 Skywarp & Thundercracker each include an array of weaponry and accessories including vertical tailfins, horizontal tailfins, wings, landing gear, smaller missiles, regular missiles, and missile launchers.

Glorious day, Anton is going to game 2. We are gona need his shot blocking awesomeness should we travel into a parallel dimension where we can make it to the next series.

We got in some cool stuff today, and restocked some old stuff. I think the best way for me to do this is in point form in no particular order, so here we go!

• Remember how we got in the awesome Picard in Command Chair figure? Well we just got a special San Diego Comic Con Exclusive Commander Kirk in Chair. As we know all great men sit in chairs, and the only true measure of how great that man is… is the size of his chair.
• We have re-stocked our Webkinz again, lil’ kinz mice and webkinz tiger snakes are back in for the 3rd or 4th time after selling out in just hours!
• DC Trinity Series 1 is in stock, its got Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Ra’s al Ghul, at $14.95 each. Buy all four and get them at $47.95, big savings and also cheaper shipping if you are buying long distance!
• There are some new Transformers in store today, they probably wont last too long. Stealth Bumblebee, Premium Jazz, Stockade, and Premium Barricade. They can be seen here.
• The new set of Chaotic, Zenith of the Hive, is now in stock in store and also online. The prices for them are the same as the first series of booster packs, $3.95 per pack and $84.95 for a whole box of packs. Check it all out here!
• The new Winnie the Pooh Pee-a-Pooh series is finally out. It appears they are re-releasing the first series with a couple new animals as well. They call it Series 1 -- Special Edition. They are all priced at $1.77 each, consequently $2 after GST and PST.
• Oh yeah and our Montreal counterparts put up a shameless Bakugan video on youtube. Check it out below. I cannot help but be mesmerized by the music.

 I hope to see you all at our hockey card trading day coming Saturday April 19th from 2-4PM, it looks like I am going to try and bring Mighty Ducks or perhaps even Mighty Ducks 2. Is there a Mighty Ducks 3? If there is, it is probably like Ducks in Space with little Charlie having animatronic arms that can shoot the puck so fast it sends Goldberg back to his oversized crib. I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve a hankering for Emilio Estevez.

Well I think that is all for now! Until next time…

Cheers,

-Gray
