According to figures released by the NPD Group, toy sales within the United States were down 2% for the first 6 months of 2009. Sales were at $7.8 billion compared to $7.95 billion for hte same period in 2008. For the 12 months ending on the same date, sales fell from $22.06 billion to $21.6 billion. NPD toy industry analyst Anita Frazier is quoted as saying “Even as the economy worsened earlier this year...there wasn't evidence of greater declines post-holiday." Its not all bad news though as some areas of the toy industry did see an increase including the Action Figure are of the market where sales rose by 13 per cent for the first half and four per cent for the 12-month period.

Hi
I thought this might be of interest. There is a long-running UK fanzine (in print, yes!) called Hubris. The latest issue has just come out, and has a specially commissioned cover done by Marvel UK artist Stephen Baskerville. That's got to be his first Transformers work in quite some time!
There's more details on the site here: http://www.the-hub.co.uk/hubris/hubris-10/

With Auto Assembly 2009 starting Friday evening here within the UK we thought we'd give you another incentive to come along if you have not already made up your mind. As you probably know by now at the event we will be showcasing our Lucky Draw collection the majority of which can be photographed for this website. However there are two Lucky Draw items that we own that we have not yet photographed for the website.
One of the items is the 2004 TV Magazine Colouring Contest figure Robotmaster G1 Convoy. The only images of this figure that have previously been seen were from a Yahoo Japan auction and a few images taken by Ultra Convoy who won that auction. Of the 10 figures that were produced, only Ultra Convoy's and our own are the only ones known to be in collectors hands.
The second item is even rarer and we believe only four photographs of this toy exist as well as a scan of the magazine from which it was originally offered. We have only seen this figure for sale once since it was produced. Who is the figure? None other than the second half of Black Super God Fire Convoy ... Black God Magnus!
We will not be publishing images of the toy on the internet until after Auto Assembly 2009, so if you want to see the figure you will have to come along to the event and have a look at the display. The figure will be shown on both days, but remember that only Sunday visitors will be able to see our entire Lucky Draw collection.
