More Than Meets The Eye $1,000,000 Eighties Transformer Collection eBay Auction: SOLD!

While reading some of yesterdays posts from everyone's favorite gadget blog, Gizmodo.com, I found this story of a widow selling her husbands entire boxed transformer collection for a mere 1,000,000 dollars.



Heartwarming, yes??

Mmmm... Feel those waves??

Mhm. 4-inches.de has aquired high-res photos of the up coming Saga Legends Wave 4. With a slight focus on droids this wave includes Battle Droids, a Biker Scout, a Clone Tooper Officer, Imperial Officer, Pitt Droids, R4-I9, RA-7 and TC-14.

Also, Jediinsider.com has some photos from the new wave of titanium ships. Which include an AT-RT, Darth Vader's Tie Advance Starfighter, Kit Fisto's Jedi Starfighter and a Trade Federation Battleship. Its good to see a few new ones. Though right now it seems that Darth Maul's Sith Speeder and Jabba's Sail Barge are taking their sweet time on their pegs. At least thats how it seems here on the west coast.

McFarlane Halo Figure Prototype Photos

Spawn.com has a sneak peek look at three of the new Halo figures.

Brute Cheiftain
Jackal Sniper
Warthog

Can't wait for these! So awesome. Check em out.

More pictures for your viewing pleasure!

Rebelscum.com has some nice high resolution photos up of the Comic Packs (Wave 3). Which include the following:

08: A'sharad Hett & Dark Woman
09: Princess Leia & Darth Vader
10: Luke Skywakler & Mara Jade

I've heard some very mixed reviews about this line, but I'm personally a big fan of these. It's nice to know they've got an eye out for all the comic fans out there. The Darth Vader looks fantastic!

Anywho. The newest from the Star Wars Transformers series has been posted as well. Looks like we're getting another Darth Vader, but this time he's a Death Star! This one really brings me back to the ol micro machine days. I really wish they would bring those back. A very solid line that was. *sigh*

Finally, there are a couple pictures of the R2-KT Imperial Droid coming to a San Diego Comic Con near you. Also head over to the R2-KT web site to get the full story on this adorable little droid.
