Just wanted to drop a quick note for anyone interested, the official press release will be out some time next week on the Palisades website, but for all those wondering...Originally slated for the OTFCC BotCon 05' convention as a exclusive, due to a scheduling conflict, The Palisades Transformers Bumblebee Mini Polystone Statue has landed as an Exclusive to NonStopToys. Being a collector of the line myself, i saw the Test Shot at the NY Javitz Toyfair and was severely dissappointed when i realized i would have to go on a mission to the OTFCC, and drop $60 to get the statue to complete my collection. As fate has it, we have now picked it up, slashed the price to $39.99 and anyone interested can pre-order it starting today. Produced in a Limited Edition of only 1000 pieces, Bumblebee will be character accurate in scale with the rest of the 6" polystone line, measuring in at 4" tall and standing on an autobot base. Being one of the last four TF statues to come out from the G1 Palisades line, i am honored we could be involved before the line ended. Anyone interested can pick one up www.NonStopToys.com

Just a quick update on the Hasbro trademark applications. The December 2003 application for First Aid that Hasbro Inc submitted to the USPTO has now been Abandoned. This means that though Hasbro are using the name First Aid for the Transformers: Cybertron character, they currently hold no active trademarks or even applications for trademarks for that name. You can view the details in our trademark section
here. Another application, this time from May 2002, for the mark
Crush Gear remains suspended.
For full details and a list of the most recent updates, visit our
Hasbro Trademark section.

Hasbro continue to trail Mattel in the UK Toy Industries figures for sales By Unit and Year To Date, only beating them in In Value charts (meaning the items cost more). Year-to-date figures for UK sales, show Hasbro with only one entry, Star Wars Ep3 Basic Figure Collection, in 7th place. Mattel, on the otherhand, still stand at number 1 and 2 with their HotWheels and Matchbox lines. Power Rangers Dino Thunder Talking Figures, continues as the number 1 Action Figure line for 2005.
The current UK Transformers line, Transformers: Energon, continues to be a 'no show' in the top 10 sales, much like Armada last year.
