There was a lot of canceled & reformatted Rise Of Cobra/Pursuit Of Cobra product planned for the beginning of 2010. Here was have the POC "Arctic Threat Snake Eyes" (& posable Timber v3) that was reformatted for POC as a Desert Battle Snake Eyes for the Fall, the difference here being the cool arctic colors & gear... China is an amazing place for such canceled rarities!! And I'm hunting down all the canceled POC G.I.*Joe POC figures I can find!! Here's another to my already impressive collection!!

6.25.10 GEN 13 Movie uncut!!

Still not available anywhere on DVD (& only on legit video in the UK & Australia) the gray market can be your friend!! ^_- This is the 84 minute version of the 90's lost cult classic GEN13 movie on DVD!!

6.24.10 STARCHASER: The Legend Of Orin

Just in!! An out of print DVD of a great rotoscope 80's animated movie you've probably never heard of!! STARCHASER!!

6.23.10 KELDOR & Re-Issue FAKER!!

Just got in the amazing new KELDOR bonus figure from Matty for Randy & I plus a few bonus rerelease Faker's for some "weapons pak" fun! Keldor absolutely rocks & Faker is so good he was worth getting some extras of!

6.23.10 Concept IG-88

Ralph Mcquarrie's Concept IG-88

The Star Wars Ralph Mcquarrie concept figures are among my favorite of Hasbro's modern line. Based on Mcquarrie's original character designs, they are retro in every way, but at the same time fresh, & some of the best Hasbro SW figs that have been done to date. I was never able to find this newest edition, the Concept IG-88 at retail (besides the "Toy Vault") as these types of concept figures are very popular with collectors, but now I finally own one thru online means (making my collection of McQuarrie figs near complete!!)...

Some hawt loose action!!

6.21.10 SHE-RA!!

The Princess of Power has arrived from Matty & she might be a better figure than her alter-ego!!

6.19.10 TF Club: PUNCH & COUNTER PUNCH!!

Transformers Club exclusives came in while Randy was away @ BotCon 2010 (haveing the time of his life in Orlando...) while I had the pleasure of cracking open the 1 exclusive I bought, he's 3 toys in 1, as it's a G1 homage to the double spy Punch/Counter Punch (with vehicle mode)!!

6.18.10 BIG LOTS DVD's On The Cheap!!

Naked Gun Trilogy / Ghost In The Shell 2 / Carmen Sandiego single

It's always worth a trip to Big Lots, they always have tons of closeout DVDs with stock changing all the time, scored these & a couple others for my brother Brian today...

6.16.10 Star Wars EXPANDED UNIVERSE figures ~Legacy Collection Final~

Jacen Solo / Jaina Solo / Shaak-Ti (Force Unleashed)

These 3 were part of a series that was the final wave of Hasbro's 2010 Star Wars "Legacy Collection" & ended up being a TRU /online exclusive...
I'm very selective about my Star Wars collection, but I had to have the 3 pictured here (from BBTS) Jacen Solo, Jaina Solo & Shaak-Ti (*Felucian Outcast*~ from the SW: "Force Unleashed" video game)... they are amazing!!

6.14.10 Chase the imports!!

Got this very rare G.I. *Joe Chase Wraith figure from the recent slew of them that showed up from China Sellers of Ebay, & got the alternate Firefly I was missing as an extra...


Also got the import version of the KICK-ASS: Music from the Motion Picture CD (only available digitally in the US) from a imports dealer (this is an official Hong Kong print) as a killa addition to my Kick-Ass collection...

6.7.10 Cadillacs & Dinosaurs '93: KENTROSAURUS

As part of my retro collecting of Cadillacs & Dinosaurs that I started this year (2010/after seeing the awesome Caddy's & Dino's cartoon for the 1st time in over a decade) I added another very rare piece that was reformatted from Dino-Riders to my growing collection, the mighty Kentrosaurus!!

~PROLOGUE~

Hey guys!
I find I always take pics of the new stuff I get but... either have no place to post the pics or forget to show you the goods when you come over to visit, & since nobody likes tons of e-mails, I figured I'd set up this little blog to showcase what's new. It's just a bunch of random stuff that interests me... The name "Lo Mein & Hot Sauce" comes from one of my favorite lunch concoctions... lol.
Check back often as I always have something new to share, give me feedback & enjoy!!
