Some pictures I took at toyfair. Most of the cool stuff is on Toynewsi.com, since I couldn't get into LEGO or Hasbro. They didn't have assemble borg at the Revoltech booth either. But it was fun and pretty amazing to see all the junk out there. Some of the stuff I couldn't take pictures of, like some of the stuff coming from MINDStyle (vinyl blind box stuff). One of the most interesting things that I would never get is this clear gel based underlit disposable Ant farm. So you can see them make tunnels. Apparently any ant you pick up has a normal lifespan of about 3 months. The gel serves as a food and water source... I didn't take pictures of it. Maybe if I go back tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing the pics!

There's some pretty neat stuff coming out this year from various lines. In particular I'm very anxious to get my hands on Hasbro's AT-TE Clone Walker vehicle. I'm a huge fan of giant toys like that, so it's a must buy.

Is there anything in particular that you're excited for this year?

The NECA ninja turtles look fantastic. If you were ever a fan of the comics pick them up. The April O'Neil wasn't too hot, but the four bros are musts for TMNT fans. From stuff I only seen pictures online of: I'm going to get all the Clone Wars lego stuff, but I'm a big Star Wars lego fan. The AT-TE and Clone transport ship are rereleases, but they improved the transport to have gunner seats in the wings, plus the new mini figures! like Rex and Asaji Ventress. The Crystal Skull related Indiana Jones sets. (got the other ones already) I also want the Batman vs Harley Quinn lego set. Most of the other Batman sets coming out this year are just smaller sets with the same minifigures, which is why I got the line anyways... that and the lego pistols.

There's a bunch of Transformers animated that I think I want, but there's always a pic that makes one look bad... like ratchet. I totally want the entire line tho, the deluxe ones... not the ones without clear plastic window parts.

Even tho it wasn't at the show I am interested in Assemble Borg by Revoltech. Barring surprise releases, I think I'm set plan wise for 2008.

I'm actually very interested in everything you mentioned as well. I'm a huge fan of the original TMNT comics, actually a lot of the original issues. Hopefully that figure line will do well enough that they can get some of the more obscure secondary characters made. I would love a Fugitoid and Triceraton.
