Seriously. How Does Your Collection Rock? ENDS TOMORROW!!!

March 19th, 2010 Comments Off Posted in Contests, Rumor Buster

We’ve let this sort of rest for a while, but since I can only really see two official entries over in the “How Does Your Collection Rock?” forum and the contest ends TOMORROW, I must say it is a sad day when Rumor Busters turn their noses up at FREE TOYS!!!

Let me remind you: All you have to do is tell us why your collection (It can be ANYTHING! No restrictions except maybe cadaver parts, hairy 70′s porn or Hitler memorabilia, and even then, we’re getting desperate…)

We’re playing it pretty fast and loose with word counts and pictures now, so show and tell or just tell, and most of all, WOW us. Moderators are posting collections as well, although their entries do not count.

What’s up for grabs?

First Prize is a kick-butt Wolverine Claw.

Second Prize is a 6 Inch Iron Monger Figure.

Third Prize is a 3.75 Iron Man figure.

These prizes were donated by Hasbro, and we will not be keeping them! They must go!

Pictures and stories are due by March 20, (TOMORROW!!!) 2010 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Once entrants have been collected they will be entered into a poll, where YOU GUYS will decide the winners!!! Voting runs until March 27, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.

Get to it!!! Time is running short!

Iron Man Armored Adventures Season 1, 2

March 2nd, 2010 Comments Off Posted in Marvel Animated

While TV Shows on DVD has the cover art for Iron Man Armored Adventures Season 1, and scheduled to arrive May 4, 2010 (and they also have news that Volume 3 appears to have disappeared from Amazon’s pre-orders), Marvel Animation Age has the official confirmation that Iron Man Armored Adventures Season 2 is on the way. That’s not too surprising since way back in November, Marvel’s financial statements mentioned a total of 52 episodes (aka, Iron Man Armored Adventures Season 1 and 2 combined), but it’s still good to get official word that the project is underway. Head over to the Rumor Buster message board to discuss!
