    Here is a quick update from www.bigbadtoystore.com about a variety of new arrivals, and more new preorders. Check out all the exciting new things at the Big Bad Toy Store!

BBTS NOW OFFERS GRAPHIC NOVELS!

We’ve just started listed a variety of Graphic Novels that were announced last month from Marvel, DC, IDW, Dark Horse, Devils Due and others.   Next week we’ll be listing a comprehensive selection of books from all the publishers above as well as all the titles from Image, Tokyopop, Viz, and much more.   We plan to list each of the 250 to 300 books announced each month, and most of them are priced at 20% to 25% off cover price!   Be sure to stop by the new section of the website and you’ll be able to rely on us for consistent supply of new books in the future.

UPS AIR SHIPPING TO CANADA, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA, UK We have just added UPS Air shipping as an option to the four countries mentioned above.   We’ll be adding a variety of other countries in the near future.  UPS Air service delivers in 3 – 5 days and is a fantastic shipping choice for those of you shipping somewhat larger orders.   As the size of your order grows, UPS will become cheaper and cheaper vs the USPS Express rates, so we definitely recommend that you use the Pile of Loot and take advantage of the shipping savings.

New Pre-Orders:

BBTS EXCLUSIVE MARVEL SELECT 'IRON CAP'

We are proud to present our third Marvel Select Exclusive from Diamond Select toys.  We’ll be buying only 2,000 pieces of this figure, so it will
