It’s a Good Time to Jumpstart Your Mattel DC New 52 Collection at Amazon.com

DC Comics Unlimited Superman Collector Action Figure Batman New 52 DC Universe Batman Unlimited Action Figure DC Comics Unlimited Wonder Woman Collector Figure DC Comics Unlimited Darkseid Collector Figure DC Comics Unlimited Aquaman Collector Figure

Speaking of the New 52 – if 1/12 is your preferred scale, then it’s a good time to build up your DC Universe Classics collection. A while back it was hard to land even some of the mainstays of the New 52, but now Superman, Batman, and more are available at the normal $15.99 price at Amazon.com, qualifying for free shipping for purchases over $25.

Wonder Woman completes the trinity but is being sold by a third party for $19.99. She’s still being fulfilled by Amazon, so the free shipping still applies. Happy shopping!

Last Day to Enter Sideshow Darth Vader Deluxe Sixth Scale Figure Giveaway

Sideshow Preview Darth Vader Premium One Sixth Scale Figure

Sideshow Collectibles is holding a giveaway for its upcoming Darth Vader premium 1/6 scale figure. Vader will go up for pre-order tomorrow, but the contest entry period closes today.

I have not been able to access the Darth Vader photo gallery and pre-order info on the Sideshow Experience blog (the site throws an error) but people who have are saying the figure is expected in January 2014 and will be priced around $250. With the removable helmet and lights on the figure and base, I think this may be the one that brings me over to the Dark Side of 1/6 scale Star Wars figures.

Hasbro Kre-O Star Trek USS Enterprise Star Trek Into Darkness Connect With Pieces Puzzle Building Game

Did you see Star Trek Into Darkness yet? I just did (I know I’m late!) and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you’re not a Trek fan or your movie partner isn’t, no worries – my mom, who is definitely not a Trekkie, took me to see it and loved it!

In any case, IMAX is holding a Star Trek Into Darkness sweepstakes that includes a bunch of Trek gear, including the Hasbro KRE-O Enterprise ($49.99) and the NECA Star Trek Into Darkness Connect with Pieces puzzle ($12.99). If that’s not enough, the grand prize includes official uniforms, the Star Trek video game from Namco Bandai, and a bunch more.

It’s open until the end of the month, so enter the IMAX giveaway now. Continue reading “Win Star Trek Gear from Hasbro, NECA, and More from IMAX”

Still on a Star Trek high from seeing Into Darkness this weekend? Entertainment Earth wants you to Trek Into Discounts!
