The BBQ and Star Wars Blog
First, we will get to Star Wars. The Premium Format Leia Figures are due to arrive in our warehouse early next week so whoever has them on preorder will be notified by us. We will also have the regular version of Sideshow's 12 Inch Bib Fortuna Figure available for preorder this Friday. We spoke with Acme and our Anakin Character Key order is confirmed. We are going to get them in stock first and then put them up for sale on the site. It will be a limit of 1 per customer because we are not getting that many. Keep an eye on the Blog because I will announce before hand what day and time they will go live for sale.
Now on to the BBQ portion. As you all know I love BBQ. I'm leaving right after this blog post to go home and BBQ up some Roumanian Steaks the wife picked up today. A good and easy trick which I learned to tenderize a steak pretty quick is use Seltzer water. You only have to sit them in the Seltzer for about 30 minutes and if you cook them right, they are like butter. I personally like to marinate them as well for about an hour in a simple marinade made up of Olive Oil, a Little Lemon Juice, 1 Crushed Garlic Clove, Salt and Pepper and a couple of dashes of Paprika. Man O' Man, they are awesome. Anyway, that's the stuff for today. Have a great night and Happy BBQ to all.

Monday After Comic Con Blog
Well Comic Con is now over, but alot of great new products are now available for preorder at Razor's Edge. We've added 20 new items from Sideshow alone. Some really great stuff. Also, since I'm on the topic of Sideshow, we expect the Greedo 1:1 scale bust to arrive later this week along with The Hulk vs Spiderman Diorama Statues, More Arwen Evenstar LOTR statues, The Tremors Graboid Maquettes and Princess Leia Premium Format statues should arrive at the end of this week or early next week we were told. Also, once our order for the Anakin Character Key is confirmed from Acme Archives and we know the exact quantity we will receive, we will put them available for purchase as well. Based on sales at the Comic Con and the quantity they will allow us to purchase, there will be a limit to how many you can purchase. We are not sure yet how many we will get and this limit will be based on how many are going to arrive. The Star Wars Starfighter Pursuit Panscape should also be arriving shortly so all of the people who preordered them from us will be notified as soon as they hit the warehouse. We also still have some Light of the Jedi and Shadow of the Sith Giclees still available for preorder, but those are starting to run low. We've also had some reports from our customers that the website has been running a little slow. We took care of that problem with our ISP and we now have double the bandwidth allowance and storage space to help accommodate our growth. So speed should not be an issue anymore. Stay tuned for more news as it comes in. Late last Friday we actually had our first experiece with Nature. LOL, Lightning to be exact and we had a bolt hit the power pole outside so we were actually without power for about an hour. LOL, scary thought because without the juice, we're pretty much dead. I feel sorry for all of the people who live in parts of Queens, NY. They have been without power for over a week. I could never imagine that. Stay Tuned because the summer is really starting to heat up at Razor's Edge Collectibles. I hope everyone had a nice weekend.

Blogging to the Oldies
We received some re stocking today on several Gentle Giant Star Wars items which are listed in the Gentle Giant section of the website. The sleeper sale will start a little earlier than normal today because I have a BBQ tonight and I love BBQ, so I will be out of here on time. We also received another case of Commander Bly Figures by Koto, which are now listed back on the website, but they are moving fast. With the Comic Con now here, it's going to be fun to see what's going to show up tonight as new products coming out later this year / next year. I'm ready to hit Yodasnews late tonight for the scoop. I suggest you do the same. Have a great night.

Hot Summer Blog !!!
Alot to blog about today. First, we've added 9 Brand new preorders to the website from Gentle Giant and Sideshow, which include the highly anticipated Chrome Darth Vader Statue, which was a Japanese Exclusive, which we are now allowed to take orders for. Along with the brand new Plo Koon Bust and Obi Wan in Clone Armor Statue, this should fill your Star Wars appetite. We still have a few more Boba Fett statues available for preorder from Sideshow, which is a very hot piece and for all of you Lord of the Rings Fans who thought you were forgotten about (myself included), Gentle Giant has their first 2 busts from the Ring Bearer collection now available for preorder on Razor's Edge. They are Strider and the Ringwraith Busts. With Gentle Giant's precision laser sculpting, both busts look amazing and should sell fast. My guess is since it's the first of the line, I do not think the production runs will be that high (only a guess). Sideshow also comes in with a brand new Legendary Scale Mogul Lord bust for those of us who love size. It's a pretty big bust, standing close to 2 Feet tall. It's about time some more LOTR stuff came out. LOL. Now for some product info, Sideshow's 12 Inch Kit Fisto Figure is expected tomorrow in our warehouse, so once he arrives, preorder in stock notice emails will go out to everyone who has a Kit on preorder. We should also have our remaining inventory of Gentle Giant Qui-Gon Jinn busts in stock this Thursday at the warehouse. Arriving with Qui are the Corpse Bride Pastor Gaswells Busts and the Corpse Bride, the Bride busts. Since Comic Con will be starting Wednesday, I would think that's pretty much it for what's coming in this week. We expect the Sideshow Hulk vs. Spiderman Diorama statues to start arriving sometime next week from Sideshow. I think the Sideshow Leia Premium Format statue should arrive soon after the Sideshow Hulk vs. Spiderman Diorama as well. Probably in about 2 weeks as a good guess. We just started a brand new giveaway for July, so checkout our giveaway section and enter to win. We will also be running our famous sleeper sale starting this Wednesday. So make sure to stop by and see what goodies we will be offering this week at a discount. I hope everyone is beating the heat. NY hit 100 today. And let me tell you, it was hot. LOL. That's it for now. Speak to you guys and gals later this week on another Very Hot July edition of the Blog. Have a nice night.

Time to Blog You !!!
We were just notified by Sideshow that the Kit Fisto 12" Figures are on their way to us and should be in our warehouse next Tuesday. Once they come in, we will email everyone who has one on preorder. Also, we will be receiving 2 shipment of Qui Gon Busts from GG. The 1st shipment will be arriving Friday or Monday (This Week / Next Week) and the remaining balance of them will be arriving at the end of next week. Looking forward to this bust. We should have some extras in stock once the 2nd shipment arrives so we will have them listed on the website after we fill all of our preorders. We will also be getting in some restock on the Sideshow Marvel Wolverine vs. Sabretooth Diorama and the Sideshow Weta Arwen Evenstar Statues later this week. Our next newsletter should go out sometime next week. So if you are not on our mailing list, it only takes a couple of seconds to sign up. I hope the Summer is treating everyone well.

Day After the 4th of July
Well it's July 5th. I hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th. Our next Sleeper Sale is now live, so you may want to checkout what's for sale this week. It will Shock you. LOL. I had Vanilla Ice on my mind today so I came up with the Arc Arc Baby special, which is a Gentle Giant Arc Trooper Maquette bundled with an Arc Character Key. I always wanted to do that. LOL. Hard Hero shipped us our Incredible Hulk order so that Green Bad Boy is due to arrive at the end of this week / early next week. We were told by Hard Hero that the Hulk weighs a hefty 18 pounds. Which is the heaviest Marvel Hard Hero statue made so far. Sideshow showed a sneak preview of their newest Marvel VS statue coming out, which will be a Captain America vs. Red Skull Diorama, which looks cool from the sneak peak picture, but I have to see it complete to decide if I want to add it to my own collection. Also, my son (now at 8 months) is crawling all over the house. LOL. He's got some pep in his step. We will be adding another fun feature to the website in the next 2 weeks. We are working on new enhancements. We can't let the cat out of the bag yet, but we will announce it here once it goes live. Also, our Myspace page is almost finished. We've been working on it as we have the time. Once it is completed, we will link it to our main page. Last but not least, our Arc Contest winner will be announced tomorrow in our contest section and on the blog, so good luck to everyone. That's it for now, gotta run.
