Guitar Hero Video Game Action Figures

October 31, 2008

Guitar Hero Figures Mcfarlane

One of the most highly anticipated action figures of 2008 are based on the Guitar Hero video game. Guitar Hero is one of the most popular video games ever. It has managed to crossover from being just a video game to being engrained into the pop culture psyche. The first series of Mcfarlane Toys Guitar Hero action figures just hit our retail store to correspond with the release of the new Guitar Hero video game for Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo Wii, Sony PS3, and the PC market.

It’s an action figure line from McFarlane Toys, best known for its work on the various Halo and Sports figures and other collectibles. McFarlane’s first line of Guitar Hero action figures feature characters of Johnny Napalm, Axel Steel, Lars Umlaut, and God of Rock.

Use KickitBack.com to save money on eBay

October 21, 2008

Why use KickItBack

Earning cash back on KickItBack just makes sense. You’re already shopping on eBay for convenience, selection and of course, great deals. Now you can get cash back when you buy on eBay, making those deals even better values. Using KickItBack costs you nothing. Sellers pay us when you buy from them, and we pay you!

How it Works

Earning cash-back rewards on KickItBack is simple. We give certain eBay listings additional exposure, and for doing so, the seller pays us a commission. We then share some of that commission with you, all for doing nothing more than remembering to bid through KickItBack for your eBay purchases.

There are no sign-up fees and no monthly charges. You simply receive cash-back rewards for using KickItBack to buy great deals on eBay.

You’ll receive up to 1%* of the final price of an eBay item. The final price is the actual closing auction price, fixed price amount, or Buy It Now price and does not include shipping, insurance or any other additional costs. Almost any item on eBay qualifies. You can earn even more when we send you a percentage of each item purchased by people you refer to KickItBack. See our referral program for more info.

Ensuring your eBay purchases earn you rewards

For your purchases to earn you rewards, you must shop on eBay using one of the following methods.

Before bidding on eBay…

Use the KickItBack Bid page to purchase or bid on an item using KickItBack.
Use the KickItBack Watch List page to bid on items your watching using KickItBack.
Login to KickItBack and click the “Start Shopping on eBay” link or the “Search eBay” button on the homepage, or start by viewing one of the great values under our “Deals” tab.
Download our Toolbar Button. This eliminates the need to go to KickItBack and login. You can simply click the KickItBack button on your browser interface to get to eBay.
Download our Desktop Widget. This will eliminate the need to open a browser. You can search eBay directly from your desktop.

Because we rely on eBay to tell us when you’ve made a purchase, it may take up to 5 or more business days to show up as “pending” in your KickBack account and 30 days to become available for payout. We’ll automatically send your money to your PayPal account each month if your balance is over $5 (this amount is configurable in your settings). You can also click the “Cash Out Now!” button and receive payment to your PayPal account immediately.

Get cash back on all your eBay purchases!

My xBox is getting an Extreme Makeover

October 20, 2008

My old xbox needs a new power source and my little buddy (Albert) is giving me a hand. Albert the Alien is very good with his hands….and likes to solder things together with his saliva. This little guy can melt things with ease (and with a smile I might add). The only thing he hates is the nasty Predator that is always picking on him.

Gifts for Thanksgiving

October 14, 2008

Most people I know don’t expect a gift in the fall. That’s what makes a Thanksgiving gift idea so much fun. You don’t have to get anything expensive. You don’t have to search for the “perfect” gift. Its a way to say thank you to your friends and family and celebrate the coming cold weather – hey, you’ve got to celebrate it or else you’ll mourn it!

If you are invited to a Turkey dinner, bring a quick and easy gift for the cook or the other family guests…here are some suggestions:

Jar of Gourmet Cranberry Relish or Apple Butter (It’s been done before!)
Seasonal Cookbook (It’s probably just going to collect dust on the shelf!)
An Apron – There are pretty aprons with themes (It’s kind of gay!)
Nutcracker and Bag of Nuts (Mmm…you can’t go wrong with NUTS!)
Board Games so everyone can play after stuffing themselves with Turkey (Settlers of Catan, Apples to Apples,to name a few…)

Board Games for all

Next Date for Montreal Toycon will be in May 2009

October 14, 2008

Boba and Jango Fett

We have been getting quite a bit of questions on the next show date of the Montreal ToyCon. We are currently looking at relocating the show to downtown Montreal. To try and keep the dealer table and general admission price down, we do not plan to have the show at the Convention Center (Palais des Congres) or the Place Bonaventure. These two locations cost a fortune to rent and frankly…are a rip off.

We firmly believe in keeping low cost tables for the dealers so they can display a wide variety of products as well as offering great prices to the public. The success of this toy and comic book show depends on all the hard working dealers who offer rare collectibles at a very reasonable price. Of course, the show is also dependent on the scores of happy dedicated customers attending. The combination of both has resulted in a great successful show thus far.

We would like to thank all our exhibitors:

Lego Club (QueLug). It was a pleasure meeting all these Lego experts and seeing their creations was a real treat. We hope they return to the May 2009 show. We have some cool pictures of their display. Photos

501st Legion Quebec Garrison (Alliance Imperial). These are the costumed characters as pictured above. From Star Wars Stormtroopers to Transformers, they really looked great. Most of the costumes were homemade but they look so realistic, it was impressive. You cannot buy these costumes at a store. You can take a look at some of the photos from the show. Bravo…guys and gals…can’t wait to check out their new costumes for the next show. We desperately need to see Darth Vader. Photos
