Ditching work early, I dropped by the local TRU this afternoon. I'm happy if I run into one or two new things to look at, but today was a smorgasboard!
Besides the Iron Man line (which is better covered in another thread) I came across the new Speed Racer line and the Prince Caspian line.
I'm not a big fan of either, but the Speed Racer line looks really well done. I would have picked a bunch up today, but there was no Mach 5 (or 6) scaled to the figures...I know this has to be coming so I'll wait.
The Caspian line is also really well done, and unlike the last film in the Narnia series, seems to have more adult interest figures (ie knights, etc). The only thing I found confusing is the number of scales used? I counted the same figures done in 3 different scales, put out by the same manufacturer. The scales are all so close together (2-3"/ 3/34" and 5") that it doesnt make any sense. The Shadow Hawks toy line also pulled this recently, coming out with 3 3/4 and 5" figures?
Best news today, I noticed the Indiana Jones Legos were all gone. I asked one if the staff if they sold out already ? Seems they were pulled off the shelves for now, until the other Indy toys show up, and then they are setting up a HUGE section of Indiana Jones items. I asked how soon this will happen and was told "any day now"!
OOPS! The thread title should have been "Good Day for Toys!"
