Thats right 1:18 fans! AREA-21 has just learned today that the highly
anticipated new 1:18 scale Japanese action figures will be for sale for
the first time to the public! There are 6 different figures that will
be sold as a set in limited quantities to the general public at the
21st Century Toys Inc. Booth #4515 at Comic Con 2005 in San Diego.

You guys just like to bust my chops! :lol:

Mountain Standard Time (MST) is a legit time zone observed by us Mid West - West states... Utah, Colorado, Idaho. Perhaps I should just change it to TKO Time in the future.

Anyway- enjoy the news!!!!!! its up now.

I'm a junkie - MORE INFO! MORE INFO! MORE INFO!MORE INFO!MORE INFO!

How will they be sold, individuals or together in a case, at ComicCon? Will Balfart be getting them first, and in their usual crappy distribution or will this be a system-wide distribution? When can we expect online retailers to get them (I'll order my whole case right now!)?

Man, if it wasn't for everything else going on, this alone would make me go to Comic Con. But, most of all, thanks TKO for the update!

It came as a shock to me as well! I got an e-mail around 12:00 -Montain Standard time.... (for those who like to poke fun...TKO time) lol

-stating that 21st would have them available for sale as a set of 6 at Comic Con. 21st Continued with the usual, Short quantity available at the show (usually around 200 or so). Then it followed with general release will follow shortly.

As to who, and when that will be is undisclosed. I hope to learn more from 21st on that issue at Comic Con. As for me, I am going to be there and I plan to go home with some figures and the Starfighter! It's been a little while since my last 1:18 scale fix! just a couple more weeks!
