Happy Halloween Blog

Hi Everyone,

Sorry it's been a while since my last post on the Blog. We've been a little nutty and I apologize since I know you all missed my humor. LOL. Here's a great leading story, my son Michael and his first Halloween dressed up as Yoda. LOL, we call him Baby Yoda. Baby Yoda and Mommy went Trick or Treating earlier today and he should score some great candy for mommy and daddy tonight. LOL.

Now on to some news. I'm going to change the format and basically post what's important and leave out all of the stuff no one reads anyway. LOL.

Sideshow News
We received the following from Sideshow and preorder notices will be emailed shortly;
Medicom / Hot Toys Elder Predator Figure
Medicom / Hot Toys Chopper Predator Figure
Sideshow Doc Ock Archival Set (Very Large Box)
Partial shipment of our Buffy Statues. The remaining statues will be here sometime at the end of next week.

The Alien Warrior Figure from Medicom / Hot Toys should be here sometime next week we were told along with ED-209 from Robocop. I'm curious to see how big it is.

We will also be getting some extra Medicom Robocop figures in this week.

We were running a special holiday sale on the Sideshow Premium Format Freddy and Jason Figures / Statues from the Freddy vs. Jason Movie and they all sold out over the last couple of days, but don't worry, more are on the way and should be here sometime next week.

Also look for some more re-stocking of the Medicom Hot Toys X3 Wolverine figure sometime next week. Our 1st batch sold out before it hit the warehouse.

Gentle Giant
Alot going on this week with Gentle Giant. So Here goes;

The Animated Boba Fett Maquette is on the way to us and we expect him to arrive in our warehouse at the end of this week / beginning of next week. We will start sending out in stock emails to everyone who preordered one as soon as he hits.

New this week from Gentle Giant is the Corpse Bride Victor Statues and Mos Eisley Cantina Band Bust Ups Box set. In stock emails will be sent out shortly for these items. We also received our 1st shipment of Corpse Bride Black Widow statues with more to follow in about a week.

We also anticipate the Animated Leia and R2-D2 Maquette to be coming very soon (as a good guess, maybe 2 more weeks).

Again, we will notify everyone who has a preorder for these items once they arrive.

Acme Archives
We will be carrying the Shaak Ti Character Key from Acme Archives and with this key, we will open up preorders approximately 1 week before they arrive. So like the Asajj Ventress Key, we want to get them in and out to you. Price will be $30.00 plus shipping on Shaak Ti.

We also have available if anyone is interested 1 more of the next series of Framed Character Keys. This 2nd set includes 1 each of Razor's Edge own Exclusive Arc Trooper Captain, Snow Bunny Padme, Anakin and Darth Sidious (very limited). We sell this framed set for $480.00 plus shipping and only have 1 available to sell, so the first person who wants it, gets it. Just contact me about it. 1st come, 1st serve on this piece.

Razor's Edge 1 Year Anniversary
December 2nd will mark our 1 year anniversary at Razor's Edge and on that day we have something very special in store for all of you on our website. We've stored away some goodies for you and in honor of our anniversary, on Friday, December 1st, you are going to see items pop up on our website at random on a first come, first serve basis. Some items will be rare sold out items being offered at original retail prices and other items will be offered for a ridiculous discount and even some items will be listed for free (yep, I said it, Free). Plus, in conjunction with one of our major affiliates, we will be running a very special giveaway so stay tuned for more details. I'm sure it's going to knock your socks off and will be a real fun day for all of us here at Razor's Edge.

Well, that's pretty much it for this addition of my world famous Blog. LOL. Stay tuned for more news coming soon.

Thanks,
Mike

Baby Got Back Blog

Hi Everyone,

I'm back with some more Bloggin' for you, so let's get to it. Shiny!

Attakus
Attakus announced their new Metal collection will now be available for sale in the US. This is a very big diorama which will cost you an arm and a leg. All though I have never seen one in person, the measurements of the Millennium Falcon and Death Star Hall together is approximately 6 feet in width and about 3 feet wide. It basically needs its own table to display. LOL. You can also pick up the metal 3" figures for around $70-80.00 each. Personally, I think the figures are a bit high in price, but they go well with the diorama. You can checkout all of the preorders for these in our Attakus section or the Star Wars Replicas section. We will also be getting in some more re-stocking of the TIE Pilots sometime next week. He's a hot piece and one of the nicer releases which just came out.

Darkhorse
Not sure if I ever posted about DH on the Blog, but all of you Firefly / Serenity fans will be happy to know we will have the Serenity Ornament in stock in time for Xmas. We just placed a preorder for them and they will be here sometime in early December. Many of you requested we sell these Ornaments, so we are going to carry them just for you.

Gentle Giant
Gentle Giant just announced three brand new products. First, is the Original Obi Wan Kenobi Bust from Episode IV. GG did a great job capturing Sir Alec Guinness and this will be a great addition to their growing Star Wars Bust collection. I'm looking forward to one of these for myself. GG also announced a new License, Pirates of the Caribbean Animated Series. GG's 1st offering will be an Animated Maquette of Jack Sparrow. I think it's pretty cool myself, but not sure if I will be getting one. I have to see it in person. Same goes with the new Lord of the Rings Animated Saruman Maquette. It actually looks pretty cool, but not sure. True, I'm a LOTR Diehard, but I want to see it when it gets here to decide if I want one or not. All 3 of these items are now available for preorder on our website. Also, GG should start shipping the Clone Wars Bust Ups and the Mos Eisley Bookends soon.

Quantum Mexhanix
QMx told us preorders will open up in December for the highly anticipated Serenity Vehicle. Serenity will feature working lights and a partial interior. No edition size or price was announced yet, but I would think it should be somewhere in the $500.00 price range. I'm looking forward to seeing this one. It's about time it came out. LOL.

Sideshow Collectibles
Alot to talk about here. Let's start off with Rambo. Sideshow just announced the Legendary Scale Bust of John Rambo. It's looks pretty cool and is now available for preorder on our website. Also, the Premium Format Captain America statue has been pre-selling very well for us and is pretty close to pre-selling out, so if you're on the fence about it and want to take advantage of our discounted price, now is the time to preorder him before he is gone.

On the way to our warehouse is our remaining pre-ordered inventory for Sideshow/Medicom's Super Deformed Darth Vader and Stormtrooper figures. They should be hitting us early to mid next week and will be back in stock once they arrive. This is our last shipment of these so if you want to pick one up, check Razor's the middle of next week.

We will also be receiving the Sideshow / Medicom X3 Wolverine Real action Hero figure next week, so for all of you who preordered them, we will contact you once they arrive.

There are also several hot items which will be in stock at sideshow and shipping to us within the next 30 days. Here's a short list.

Sideshow Premium Format Buffy Figure / Statue
(Should be arriving in 2 weeks)

Sideshow Premium Format Roger Moore as James Bond / Statue
(Should be arriving in 2 weeks)

Sideshow / Hot Toys 14” AVP Elder Predator Figure
(Should be arriving in 2 weeks)

Sideshow / Hot Toys 14” AVP Chopper Predator Figure
(Should be arriving in 2 weeks)

Sideshow LOTR Morgul Lord Legendary Scale Bust
(Should be arriving in 3 weeks)

For all of you who have a preorder for any of these items, we will contact you as soon as they arrive in our warehouse.

Razor's Edge News

Asajj is Here Blog

Hi Everyone,

Did you miss me? LOL, Here's another addition to everyone's favorite blog. So let's stop talking and start blogging. Here Goes...

Asajj Exclusive Character Keys are Here
Thanks to Acme for getting them all here in 1 piece. We actually got them in late yesterday and we've been boxing all day today and will start shipping all US orders Monday. Since the amount of foreign orders was very small, all foreign orders shipped today (we did them 1st to get them out of the way). Asajj came out beautiful and I'm sure everyone will be pleased. Check your email Inbox starting tomorrow because you will receive an email from USPS Click N Ship with your tracking number. I think by Tuesday night, all US preorders will be shipped. Also, don't forget to check your boxes when you open them. You may be an instant winner of the bonus character key.
Once all of our preorders are filled and shipped, Asajj will be listed as a normal stock item on the website. We are over 65% sold of these so far, so if you did not get a chance to preorder Asajj, there's still time to pick one up before she sells out.

Gentle Giant
Another pretty slow week (nothing new from GG), but I'm guessing by the end of the month, GG will be releasing more products for the 2007 release schedule. We got in some re-stocking of previously sold out products on the website this week, so take a quick look if you have time at our GG section or you can also find the re-stocked items in our Star Wars statues and Busts sections.

Also, the Corpse Bride Bonejangles statue is on his way to us and should be in stock early to mid next week. I'm looking forward to seeing what this looks like in person. It's supposed to come with leather pockets and the pool table is felt-lined. Maybe I will take one of these home for myself for Halloween.

Sideshow Collectibles
Lurtz is Here !!! Lurtz is Here !!! and he is awesome. Sideshow did one hell of a job with him and I'm very pleased with the way he came out. We have a couple of pieces left for sale on the website and everyone who has a preorder for him was already emailed by us. For all of your LOTR fans, he was definitely worth the wait.

Also for your LOTR fans, Aragorn 12" Figures have shipped from Sideshow and should be in stock early to mid next week. This is Sideshow's 1st LOTR 12" figure and I'm curious to see what he looks like in person.

We also got in a bunch of re-stocked items from Sideshow like the Jaws Maquette (Very Big Box) and some Star Wars 12" Figures which will be listed on the website right after I finish this blog. LOL.

Brand new and up for preorder from Sideshow is the Captain America Statue and Terminator 2:T-800 Statue.

Master Replicas
We have more White Clone Trooper Helmets coming back in stock next week. So if you missed them this week, we will have more coming in. Don't forget Razor's Edge offers Free Shipping on this item as well as some other select Master Replicas items. Checkout our new Free Shipping Section on our website to view a full list.

September Giveaway Almost Over
Our September Giveaway will be ending this Monday, so if you did not get a chance to enter, now would be the time. To win a Gentle Giant Boba Fett Statue, enter our Giveaway in our contest/giveaway section on our main page. No purchase necessary to enter. Anyone can win, maybe you. So Enter Now !!!

Well, that's it for now Ladies and Gentlemen. Thanks for reading our latest addition. For all of you who pre ordered the Asajj Key, enjoy it when you receive it next week. Have a great weekend.

Razor's Blog Before the Weekend

Hi Everyone,

I'm back again with some news and info for all of you, so put the women and children to bed and let's start Blogging.

Asajj Ventress Character Key Shipping Info
We spoke to Acme this week and Asajj will be leaving their warehouse in CA to us either today or Monday. This means Asajj will be here either next Friday or Monday (October 16th). Once she comes in, we are going to start boxing her, so we will need 1 day to get that done. Once they are all boxed, Asajj will start shipping to everyone. So expect her to start shipping either Tuesday, October 17th or Wednesday, October 18th. We will actually start processing the labels next week to save some time so we do not have to print them all at once and delay orders. We want to get her out as fast to you as humanely possible. So next week, all US customers will start to receive tracking emails from the post office. That will be your permanent tracking number for Asajj when she ships, so hold on to the email. If anyone has any questions about this, please drop me an email or use the contact us form on our main page.

As a bonus, Razor's Edge has decided to run a giveaway associated with the shipping of this Asajj Exclusive. We never had an official name for it, but let's call it for arguments sake, the "Buy Asajj and win a Key Giveaway." The cool thing is, everyone who already pre-ordered an Asajj or will preorder 1 or more Asajj Keys before she arrives in stock is already entered in the giveaway. Here's how it works;

Asajj was sold in quantities of 1, 2 or 3 keys US Only and Foreign Key orders. When our packers make up the shipping boxes for Asajj, we are going to randomly insert a 2nd surprise key with 4 orders. Here's the breakdown;

1 Surprise Key will be in an Asajj Order for 1 Key, US Only.
1 Surprise Key will be in an Asajj Order for 2 Keys, US Only.
1 Surprise Key will be in an Asajj Order for 3 Keys, US Only.
1 Surprise Key will be in an Asajj Order Foreign Only.

This way everyone has a chance to win the surprise key. The surprise keys will be;

1 Mace Windu Character Key
1 Anakin Skywalker Character Key
1 Count Dooku Character Key
1 ARC Trooper Captain Character Key

Good Luck to everyone who receives their 2nd surprise key. The one thing I ask, is if you're the lucky winner, to email me so I can post who won the keys on my blog sometime next month.

It's our way of saying thanks to all of you for your continued support.
