ThreeA Toys WWRp EMGY TRG Grunt On Sale Now

Hey, more WWRp Grunts are on sale – this time it’s the WWRp EMGY Grunt, on sale now at bambalandstore.com for $45 plus shipping. It was just ten days ago that 3A had the WWRp Medic Grunt and Square up for pre-order, so 3A is sticking to its plan to not offer all the Grunts at once. While I’m glad at the break my wallet is getting, I also don’t mind the sets, because there’s no additional shipping charges. On the other hand, I’m trying to scale back from getting every single colorway. While EMGY is extremely popular among the 3A fans, it’s not on my list, so I get a pass on this sale.

On the topic of shipping, army builders get a break if they’re buying multiples. Thanks to Gimbat for sharing the details.

ThreeA Toys World War Robot JEA Meat is Murder Super Set on Sale Today 2/21 at 8PM EST

I’m kind of glad I got into the 1/6 scale with 3A Toys kind of late. I don’t have any of the bots in the scale (although I have gone a little crazy in the 1/12 Portable scale) and I think my wife would pull a little Meat is Murder on me if I started now. I just spent a hefty chunk of change on the AP Ten Finger Gang (which oddly has 11 figures) and the AP Tomorrow Queen sets, as well as an unexpected WWRp Medic Grunt and Square.

For the timezone challenged, the WWR JEA Meat is Murder set goes on sale today at 8PM EST on bambalandstore.com. Semper Fi, JEA Marines!

Now on to Meat is Murder (JEA ASSAULT CREW), which will go up for pre-order on February 22nd 9:00AM Hong Kong time at Bambalandstore. It’s biggest WWR set yet and it’s going to cost: 530 USD shipped worldwide. It’s surely ain’t cheap, but that’s the best we can do for such a massive set. It was coming for pre-order a long time (with first photo teased on June 1st 2011) , it’s an insane & crazy set, which will probably only us will do, as it includes FIVE 1/6th scale figures: Dropcloth, Grunt, MK1 & MK2 Squares and Armstrong.

ThreeA Toys WWRp Medic Grunt and Square Set Available for Pre-Order Now

Looks like the Action Portable Ten Finger Gang and Tomorrow Queens will stay up on bambalandstore.com a little longer. And though it was not expected, the WWRp Medic Grunt and Square set are available to order now too.

I love the Medic colorway and the grunt is cool. Ordered! Thanks to canonball for the heads-up on this set.

Fresh news from Ashley Wood:

“thanks for the support for the Mini’s, many have asked that we leave them up so they can get a chance, so we are gonna do that, also gonna drop the Medic Grunt set as they are ready to go !”

AFP’s Best of 2012 – Ron’s Picks

It’s almost February, so I figured I better get to my picks (and pics) for Best of 2012! I’ll get us started with one of the choices I included in the Fwoosh Best of 2012 post – the Marvel Legends Build-A-Figure Arnim Zola.

2012 was a great year for Marvel Legends, with Hasbro finally getting the flagship line back to retail. And it was an especially great year for Marvel villains. In the three 2012 waves, we got: Terrax, Constrictor, Klaw, Madame Masque, Madame Hydra, Daken, Mystique, Dr. Doom, Thunderball, and Piledriver. You could even throw in the Marvel Select Ultron.

But none stand above Arnim Zola, the Build-A-Figure for wave 2. C’mon! It’s Arnim Zola!

The World War II WMD dealer looks like he popped out of a Jack Kirby drawing. He’s got the classic orange and purple color scheme, with the tunic and skirt. His legs are ribbed for your pleasure, and he’s got the trademark Kirby flare on his crotch flap. And that Zola face? Pure evil.

To top it all off, via the Madames and Wrecking Crew running changes, you can give your classic Zola a modern twist – the BAF pieces that came with Madame Hydra and Piledriver let you build a Red Skull trapped in a Zola construct. That’s why Zola is the best of 2012 – quit arguing and just accept it.
