If there is anyone out there that would like to part with any of the DIsney/Pixar Cars themed promo cards, I'd like to get a set for my daughter.

I know there are at least 6:
- Mater as Vader
- McQueen as Luke
- Sally as Leia
- Luigi & Guido as C3PO & R2D2
- Filmore as Yoda
- Tractor as Stormtrooper

I have good references.

I can trade or pay.

Please let me know.

Thank you.

Huge Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Simpson’s and Comic Sale

My local comic shop, Cloud City Comics & Toys, recently acquired a rather large Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Simpsons collection to provide Holiday gifts for its customers.

This Friday, Saturday and Sunday (December 3rd, 4th and 5th), Cloud City is having a huge sale to help get these items in the hands of collectors before Christmas.

I personally know the collector whom sold this collection and he was a MOC completist with pretty much every variant you could want (i.e. EP1 Anakin Naboo with or without New Sticker, AOTC with or without inserts, Force Battlers with Sabers on Left vs Right).  There are Star Wars figures from the POFT2 line all the way through the first Clone Wars/Saga waves; Galactic Heroes through about 2006 including playsets (some as recent as 2009); Midsized Vehicles (B-Wing, Jedi Star Fighters, etc.), 12” Line; All the exclusives, box sets, mail aways from this time range; Titanium Vehicles, Role Play Weapons.  You want it, it is there. 

The LOTR and Simpsons line are very impressive as well; all complete and all in great shape.

Here are some of the Sale details:

-   20% Off ALL Toys and Statues;
-   Back Issues 50% Off;
-   Graphic Novels 30% Off;
-   Normal $1 Comics are 3 for $1;
-   Normal $10 Comics are 3 for $10; and
-   Everything Else is 20% Off.

Plus, for every $5 you spend you will get a raffle ticket for a prize drawing on Sunday for convention swag, signed comics, etc.

It is first come first serve, so try and get there early; you will not be disappointed.

Location:

Cloud City Comics & Toys
3216 Erie Boulevard East
Syracuse, NY 13214-1204

(315) 449-0880

It is worth the drive (an hour for me).

Anyone willing to help a board member out with the following SDCC items, please drop me a PM.  I will provide trading references here and on other sites:

Hallmark exclusive ornamants - PRIORITY
Dark Avengers X-Men Utopia Sketch Comic
Dark X-Men Sketch Cover
Disney/Pixar Cars Rescue Squad Mater - birthday for cousin's boys.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can do cash and/or trade.

I saw a post over on Rebelscum.com a while back (sorry have not had internet for 4 months) which said that there were several variations on the Cody figure.

I believe they were as follows:

Clean
Dirty
With Scar
Without Scar

Can anyone confirm this?

Finally, Finally, Finally ... they have extended it to TWO DAYS!!! November 1st and 2nd

For those of you in NY, there is a great convention (especially for those who can't travel to SDCC, Celebrations, etc.) and it keeps growing.

This years key Star Wars guest is the one and only Tom Hodges.  Many of you have seen his online webstrips setting the stage for the weekly serial Clone Wars on Cartoon Network.  I have been asking (read - begging) for him to come for years, and finaly the promoters have listened.

GUEST OF HONOR - ROGER STERN - While Mr. Stern will be returning to AMAZING SPIDER-MAN this December, he is legendary among creators and fans alike.
His writing credits include The Avengers, Captain America, and the Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom graphic novel, and Mr. Stern is responsible for the co-creation of Hobgoblin.


Plus MANY, MANY other great Artists and Stars:

- KANE HODDER actor "Jason" from FRIDAY THE 13TH

- ALVIN LEE artist: STREET FIGHTER, AGENT X, MARVEL MANGAVERSE, HEROES FOR HIRE

- ALEX MILNE artist: TRANSFORMERS

More to be announced.

Check out the site at http://www.syracuseheroesexpo.com

Tickets are very reasonable and the site is easily accessible from PA, CA and NYC (right off the Thruway).

This truly is a great event for Anime, Horror, Comic and Star Wars fans. Very well runa and fan friendly. You will not be dissapointed.

Last year was the first year and they had Ray Park (Darth Maul). Prices were very reasonable and everyone got to meet him. It is growing every year but it truly is fan friendly. This was the first con I have ever been able to go to and I will go back every year.

Check out the site and save the date.

I know that some of the other members may be interested in this as it is not every day that our area (Central NY) gets this type of appearance, so I wanted to pass it along.

Anyone interested can get information from this website http://www.syracuseheroesexpo.com/

My wife is going to Disney Today and can get almost any item from Downtown Disney.

I would like to help someone out in exchange for a turn around on the SDCC Shocktrooper BUst/Bust-ups set and 501st figure.

Please respond by 2pm-4pm Eastern Time so my wife can plan accordingly.

Thank you.

wholly crap ... looks like I got me some collecting to do.

Thank you for the help.

My wife actually got on efor me.  I figured I can get the stormie for a better price down the line, but the exclusive 501st will be, as history shows, hard to get.

Besides, the Super Deformed look is great for any form of troopers.
