I got this email and figured at half off there had to be something in here someone might want, so here we go! www.toyrocket.comI've heard both good and bad things about them, mainly about their ebay side. Most everything I've heard about the online store itself seems to be positive in they ship fairly fast and normally have good customer serivce. (Hate to sound so general, but that's the vibe I'm getting from what feedback on the store I've seen so far). I picked up Masterpiece Exkaiser from the Brave series for $35.00 and the Scott Bernard Cyclone armor/bike from Robotech (yea, I grew up with Robotech so how could I resist??) for $85.00! That's almost half the price of the same figure on clearance at BBTS (sorry Joel!). Shipping was a flat 8.00 by UPS. I'll let everyone know how it turns out, but hopefully someone can find a great deal there! Hope it helps! |

Yeah, there was a very funny thread over at the 'Mess about them...
I know the declared bankruptcy earlier this year, so I'm sure they have stuff they need to clean out, and for a time they didn't ship out stuff like they were supposed to, so that started a lot of badmouthing.
Hopefully they've cleaned things up.....

Hope it works smoothly for you HMC. Unfortunately their international shipping is too outrageous for me to even have a look.  |

Well, got an email update from TR today.
Seems my Exkaiser figure was backordered but 'should' be back in stock and shipped 7-10 days. The surprising thing is that the Robotech Cyclone did make it out and should be on the way!
To be honest I'm totally surprised that the much more expensive Robotech piece made it out as that's a hell of a deal compared to the Exkaiser discount wise.

Well, I just got my MP Scott Bernard and it is awesome!
I've been wanting this since Joel at BBTS first listed this for a preorder, but I had to drop it when they sent out the email update that Toynami went from a suggested retial for 100.00 to 220.00 for it!
So glad I waited!
I'm not about to open it until the next day I'm off--judging by the video review from CollectionDX it's a bear to convert!
Still waiting for Exkaiser so hopefully I'll hear something soon!

Thanks to FMS I think I've got a handle on the whole picture uploading bit. Here's a phot of the Scott Bernard Cyclone (you know, I'm sure there's a Kamen Rider Double joke in there, but I can't find it!). I can't wait until I have a day off to sit down and convert him!  |

As soon as I get ime, he's coming out an on display! The box is collector frendily so if I want to put it back in I can, but it's so nice in armor mode I'm going to have to leave it out for a while.
