Between Wal-Mart, Target, and Toys "R" Us we've seen product out since about February 12, but today is the actual real official street date for the Iron Man 2 product line. (Proof once again nobody cares about non-Star Wars shelf dates.) Happy hunting!

While only leaked a few weeks ago (and just confirmed in New York), it seems a lucky poster on He-Man.org has already found and bought these unique figure sets. You get He-Man vs. Superman or Skeletor vs. Lex Luthor, each for $29.99 with a full-sized comic reprint-- arguably, a good price. Just a baffling combination really. If nothing else, it's still about on par with the Matty Collector pricing, except you get more stuff for the same price.

Before you buy the new toys in Hasbro's Transformers Generations range, Activision want to sell you this new game, which Joystiq played. Supposedly it's due in May and looks really sharp-- the character designs are great, although Transformers games are notoriously spotty, and by spotty we mean bad.

Let's try to keep this straight: last year, Shout Factory released the complete It's Garry Shandling's Show on DVD. A few years ago, we saw two releases for his other series, The Larry Sanders Show-- a best-of and a season 1.

We have just been informed that the pictured set, which we just found out about last week, has already been released for about $18. Reader Nooker found them at Downtown Disney last week. Happy hunting!

Figure of the Day has updated once again! The daily feature on figures you might have but might not-- either way, here's what you've been missing! Spanning from the original Power of the Force series of 1995 to the latest of The Legacy Collection, it's almost like a history lesson!

Your friend and ours, the delightful Jeremy Parish, posted a review of the Wii port of Mega Man 10. PSN and XBLA ports are coming later this month. Not surprisingly, Capcom outlined DLC for the game which includes playable Bass and some other modes. The DLC starts hitting in April.

Got a DSi? This week: Flips: Terror in Cubicle Four, Globulos Party, Let's Golf, and VT Tennis. These range from $5 to $8.

Your pal and mine Jason Lenzi did an interview with Mantis Eye on the upcoming Bif Bang Pow! Venture Bros. action figure line, confirming some things we've told you and some we haven't. Want to know if you should expect Dr. Girlfriend? Go read this.

A ton of second editions plus new figures are on the way! Here's what's on tap according to Matty:

While old Atari games as premiums are normally just somewhat newsworthy, this amazing retro packaging is what we found to be particularly interesting. How 1970s! Each PC game is free with a kid's meal or about $1.49 separately.

A rarely-seen Pre-Toy Fair catalog has been posted to the great TFWiki.net showcasing alternate deco, label-free designs, and more-or-less mock-ups for some of the first "new" Transformers ever made. (Remember, the first few years were culled from existing Japanese toy lines.) Highlights include very different combiner teams, Hot Rod with clear windows, and other oddities like this slightly different Wheelie.

Ad: It's back from the future! The exclusive vehicle based on the second movie, with hover feature, is only available at Entertainment Earth! It's due this summer for $44.99. Several other new items arrived in stock, including these highlights:

Xbox 360 owners, it's time for Toy Soldiers, a strategy game where you control toys from a toy box. It seems someone out there really understands us, what with LEGO Star Wars and now this. We'd also like to push for a game based on the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures, but we digress. Toy Soldiers is $15/1,200 points and is supposedly exclusive to the platform.

The boys from Devo threw up a splash page with a new song called "Fresh" which, unsurprisingly, sounds a lot like Devo. Since you can hear the whole thing for free, you might as well.

First up: The guys at Geek Week were given the exclusive official word that Comic-Con in San Diego will see the release of a new, 25th Anniversary-style Sgt Slaughter action figure. How about that? There will be two variations.

After showing off some rough mock-ups, the Transformers Collectors Club revealed Cyclonus for reals as part of their swell ongoing Shattered Glass range. Just look at it.

After so long we assumed they were dumped. We were wrong! The G.I. Joe Club Adventure Team figures have just had their packaging revealed and it looks swell. Click through for more.

Since it wasn't mentioned in previous Toy Fair coverage, we were a little surprised to see the LEGO Minifigure Collectors Box at LEGO.com yesterday. It has a handle and 15 compartments to store figures for about $15, which, in theory, seems neat. But who has only 15 figures to show off? If this thing had an exclusive figure, though, odds are we'd cave in.

Full games this week include Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode 1 and 2 bundled for $14.99. And Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD is down 50% to $4.99.

Full games this week include Lunar: Silver Star Harmony, Dante's Inferno, and Major League Baseball 2K10 for $29.99. Big spenders can download MLB 10: The Show for $39.99.

Now that the toys have hit, Toys "R" Us has a sale-- 2 figures in the 3 3/4-inch scale can be yours for $10.99. It's worth noting that there were very few non-Iron Man figures when we looked, but your mileage will of course vary.

You probably heard of the fan-made Mega Man 9 HD remake but if you haven't, that video is a pretty swell showing of a redrawn, reworked for 16x9 displays, recomposed game. The art loses a lot of its charm in high definition, but it's still a stunning example of a fan project in this space.

If you haven't seen it, or want to see some clear shots, Happinet has the new USB Device Label Blaster/Broadcast up. For about $70 we'd expect a little more, so you may want to hold off for this summer's Comic-Con G1 reissue. Interestingly, the Device Label toy can indeed store a G1 "tape" in his chest. Big points for that.

How excited are we? It's our top story, that's how excited.

This week's WiiWare offerings are Dracula - Undead Awakening and Max & The Magic Marker, each for $10/1,000 Wii points. But allow us to direct your gaze this way.

Got a DSi? This week: 4 Travellers - Play Spanish, Dracula - Undead Awakening, Elemental Masters, and Flips: The Bubonic Builders. These range from $4 to $8.

The club revealed the big box art for their Vacation In The Shadows Box Set which, we assume, exists to remind you how crappy normal figure packaging is these days. It's quite nice. The next G.I. Joe Collector's Convention is April 29 in Rhode Island. If you go, say hi to Peter Griffin for us.

A clearly movie-inspired Bumblebee has appeared at The Allspark and came from a Hub Network ad. Meaning this is most likely Bumblebee from the next cartoon show and toy line. Click through for more!

Ad: They've found a home! The Exclusive Star Wars Dllr Nep & Plourr Ilo Figure Comic Pack is up for pre-order now! It's just $17.99 and can be yours if you get in now.

Xbox 360 owners, it's time for Twisted Scrap Metal, a where you drive a car and attack other cars. Scrap Metal is $15/1,200 points and has local multiplayer support, which a lot of companies forget is still quite important these days.

The fine folks at MattyCollector.com threw up an announcement that the next batch of toys-- which includes the Hordak reissue, Evil-Lyn, and the weapons pack-- is pushed back to April 19, a Monday. So if you go looking for this stuff on Friday, well, too dang bad.

How do you save print? Simple-- make it more like a Happy Meal. It has worked in Japan with numerous kid mags, and now The Daily Mirror in the UK is trying something similar with LEGO Racers toys. Eurobricks has the scoop, also scans.

We're receiving some reports (but not seeing these ourselves) that Ross stores ("Dress for Less" Ross) are getting in the Ambush of Cobra Island and Defense of Cobra Island online exclusive Hasbro gift sets for $16.99 a pop-- a freaking bargain. Each set has 7 pretty great figures, and the Cobra set is a must-buy for fans of the 25th Anniversary line. Get it if you can find it!

Full games this week include Mega Man 10 and Feeding Frenzy 2 Shipwreck Showdown, each for $9.99. And some other stuff was put on sale, but nothing we found to be terribly astounding.

Full games this week include Rock Band Unplugged Lite for $4.99, plus Eye of Judgement Legends for $29.99.

If you've never heard it, Iggy & The Stooges' album "Raw Power" is one of the best you can buy. Ever. Other bands wish they could make an album like this and can't. It's pretty legendary, because of scores of amazing unreleased material from this time period, alternate mixes, and all sorts of amazing stories, legends, and egg-throwing. Taking a cue from Warner's speciality labels, Sony announced pre-orders for Legacy and Deluxe editions of the album which includes the original David Bowie mix and not the Iggy Pop mix from the 1990s. And bonus tracks. And a live show. And if you buy the more expensive version, knick-knacks and other stuff. Arguably worth your attention if you are in to such things.

On the TFW2005 forums, see some early shots of new toys. Smolder and Chopstick are shown, clearly shaping up to be the winner of the early toys.

This week's WiiWare offerings are not so hot, partially because the Virtual Console offering dwarfs most of what was released on consoles in 2010. Rage of the Gladiator and Triple Shot Sports are what you'll be ignoring so you can get a classic title instead.

Got a DSi? This week: Zoo Frenzy, 101 MiniGolf World, Battle of Giants: Dinosaurs -- Fight for Survival, and Car Jack Streets. These range from $5 to $8. That's the dinosaur game in the picture, surely there must be better images of a game where you have dinosaurs literally fighting for survival.

Volume 17 was released this week, so now Shout! Factory via the MST3K Info Page confirms that the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Volume 18 DVD will include:
Lost Continent
Jack Frost
The Beast of Yucca Flats
Jack Frost

Finally! Clear renders of the designs for the first batch of blind box LEGO figures are up at FBTB.net, and they look fantastic! Check 'em out now, and buy them later this summer.

Coming soon to an arcade-- and so far, not a console-- near you is Pac-Man Battle Royale, which may be the bestest thing ever. It's like the Xbox 360 game Pac-Man Championship Edition but with four players. You can play as Pac-Man and eat other players as Pac-Man. That's incredible-- and the video at Game Set Watch looks good, too!

So, nobody is making much in the way of licensed Metroid stuff beyond high-high-end statues, but it appears one enterprising soul made a Zero Suit. It's not the crazy armor, but it's definitely not the worst thing to try, unsuccessfully, to convince your girlfriend to wear for your birthday.

Xbox 360 owners, it's time for your IP-free Goldeneye port Perfect Dark, Rare's spiritual sequel to its N64 game featuring one Mr. Bond. Some elements from the Bond adventure are indeed unlockable in Perfect Dark, and the game itself will set you back $10/800 points.

This posting at ACToys.net shows normal and clear versions of their fake Masterpiece Optimus Prime, which is about 2/3 of the size of the real thing. While an unauthorized product, it seems to accurately replicate Hasbro's intellectual property in an amazing way. Click through for comparison pictures and non-English commentary.

The surprisingly useful Playstation Blog has a post on 3D Dot Heroes, coming later this spring from Atlus in these United States. Basically, imagine an NES game blown up into three dimensions, and presto-- you get this nifty budget title. It should be about $39.99, and click through to see why you care. Because if you read this site, presumably, you might care.

After a delay (and dumping in Asia) it seems wave 3 of the basic vehicles is gone so you basically need to start scouring eBay or contact your buddies in Asia. Good luck! The lost wave includes Lava Pod with Volcano-Viper, Tiger Claw ATV and Leatherneck, Polar Sharc including Icestorm, and Desert Rockslide ATAV with our pal Dusty.

The formerly exclusive-to-Wal-Mart wave of figures plus Metallo are apparently returning to MattyCollector.com according to the web store. The wave returns May 17 and includes Eradicator, Black Lightning, Amazo, The Riddler, and The Atom. Pricing is not yet confirmed, but they did say the figures will be totally identical to the previous releases-- no changes to figures or packaging.

Our pals at Capcom wrote in to let us know the combo pack of Final Fight and Magic Sword will run 800 points (or $10) when it comes out in April. April 14 is the Xbox date, and April 15 is PSN. And speaking of PSN...

Full games this week include Groovin' Blocks bundled for $9.99. And Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse is up for pre-order, all 5 episodes are $29.99, which is better than previous episodic releases have been in terms of pricing.

Full games this week include Patchwork Heroes, The Red Star, and a LUXOR Bundle. The bundle includes Luxor Wrath of Set and Luxor Pharaoh's Challenge.

Apparently a lot of exciting developments are in place for 2010, including enhanced wrist joints on Sgt. Slaughter come Comic-Con! Hasbro did a bunch of Q&As with sites last week, and that tidbit came from The Allspark.

The next batch of Legends has been revealed, and it's ROTF-heavy. TFW2005.com has packaged shots of all four, which include Ravage, a new Optimus Prime, a new Bumblebee, and a nice shiny red Rampage.

Oversized Mini-Cons and a tiny, tiny Fortress Maximus were amongst the knock-offs at a Simi Valley, CA Tuesday Morning over the weekend. Each was about $4.99, so if you haven't got such things now might be a good time to go looking for them. After all, they're cheap.

Did you miss Willie Scott, Short Round, Mola Ram, and the others when the line up and died in 2008? You're not alone. It seems either old stock (or perhaps new stock) is surfacing in Asia of loose Indiana Jones figures in lots of 6-10 figures for, seemingly, reasonable prices. We aren't going to endorse this or point out any as we do not know ourselves the origins of these figures, but hey, just a heads-up for those in the market for such things.

One of our staffers contributed to the blog/site/event that is Topless Robot this week. Go over there and read The 10 Best Stories in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Also be sure to read the comments, which call our knowledge of Star Wars into question.

On the Botcon site you can get a glimpse at Spark, the first of this year's exclusives. Just look at him. Gorgeous. It's a Transformers Universe Inferno G2ed up a lot. Or late G1ed up a lot. Take your pick. Generation 2 seems to be the theme this year.

This week's WiiWare offering is the oft-delayed Cave Story. It's a slightly higher-def remake of a PC freeware title that has a lot of good reviews.

Got a DSi? This week Nintendo makes it interesting: Game & Watch: Chef, Game & Watch: Judge, and Game & Watch: Mario's Cement Factory are mini classics that are ideally suited to the portable, and at $2 a pop how can you go wrong? Truly great time-killers here. Also available: Libera Wing and Drift Street International. Oh, and the DSiXL. (That hits Sunday.)

The Gizmodo people pointed to the most spectacular novelty record package ever, a small portable player which actually plays the damn record. We are impressed. So when will Shellac use it?

Through some nifty photos, the full extent as to why the Transformers Power Core Combiners sub-line coming later this summer are awesome has been revealed. Through this auction you can see that the upcoming $10 "Scout"-class toys aren't just nice figures with a Mini-Con. It turns out that they also were designed to combine with the limbs from the larger Power Core Combiner sets, so you can see Smolder connected with alternate limbs and a different head. It's pretty swell. We are pleased.

A few years ago we reviewed the CD Luxo Champ, a great CD EP that was basically the only findable document of a band you've never heard of. We finally found images of Duster, a 7-inch from the band which we are now trying to find to buy/listen to/whatever. Do you have a lead? Let us know!

Fine, Vincent Van Ghoul. But it's him! The site TVShowsOnDVD.com lists a June release date for the complete series. Why 13 ghosts? Most Saturday morning cartoons-- like this one-- got 13 episodes per season, which repeated 4 times. So there you go.

You no doubt heard that the newest iteration of the Nintendo DS-- the Nintendo DSi XL-- is coming to retail this week. Nintendo decided to do you a favor and let you know another DS was coming, this time one that is being designed with some sort of simulated 3D in mind. Fancy! So save your money on the XL, kids. Kotaku has a nice round-up of the information so far.

Xbox 360 (and PC) owners, it's time for Game Room, a free application where the games will cost you, but reportedly one that allows you to get some achievements without buying any of the games.

The KOToys.com forums added even more shots of Hasbro's upcoming Transformers Power Core Combiners line. Of particular note are lots of images showcasing them compared to other toys, including Star Wars action figures. They're not huge, but a decent size.

The May update for Matty Collector reveals even more figures you may not be able to get. Included are Optikk, Tytus, and a rerelease of Mer-Man.

You can find six (so far) reviews of these new guys at Eurobricks' forums, and they look pretty sharp. See the caveman, space man, cheerleader, luchadore, magician, and crash test dummy so far.

This is a pretty good way to end the week, we'd say. The world-famous Peaugh added reviews of these new toys to his channel which, we assume, means yet another successful goat sacrifice to the toy gods has been accepted. He added Smolder, Searchlight, and Bombshock. Which we're fairly sure you're going to want after seeing them.

Comedy Is Dead has updated with many new articles. They include:

Full games this week include Blue Toad Murder Files Episode 1-3 Bundle for $14.99. Also: Anarchy: Rush Hour, Hamsterball, Wakeboarding HD, and Section 8.

Full games this week include Adventures To Go!, Cho Aniki Zero, Rengoku: Tower Of Purgatory, and Rengoku II: The Stairway to H.E.A.V.E.N.. The games run $11.99 to $19.99.

Via the Chunklet Twitter:

In a bit of news that's actually a little stunning, Microsoft will be allowing USB support of storage on its Xbox 360 console in a few weeks. In a market where more and more manufacturers seem intent on locking down consumers and forcing the purchase of branded, licensed goods, this is pretty shocking.

If you pre-order the LEGO MMO, you can also get an exclusive "free" figure (pictured) with it. The cost of the game and exact date of pre-order are not yet announced, but for your LEGO junkies who collect this stuff something fierce, we feel for you. This page will have details eventually and it says the approximate retail value is $2.99. As we have purchased LEGO on eBay before, we all know this to be a total lie.

On the eBay auction site you can see a proof card for Eldor, from the vintage (and unreleased) Powers of Grayskull line. Wow! As one of those legendary never-made figures, it's quite a find-- and $1,850 at press time.

This week's WiiWare offerings include the WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase which lets you put your DS games on the screen-- a good idea for $8/800 points. Also for $10/1,000 points is Diner Dash.

Got a DSi? This week Nintendo's handheld (now available in XL) offers Disney Fireworks, Nintendo DSi Instrument Tuner, Nintendo DSi Metronome, Save the Turtles, and Super Yum Yum Puzzle Adventures rather than retro downloads. A pity.

The video reviewer Peaugh added Skyburst toys to his channel which, as it turns out, is OK. It doesn't seem as slick as the others but it certainly isn't bad. Take a look! He even includes ROTF Scout toys as comparisons. If that means anything to you.

All over the movie speaking world heard this message: Warner Bros., Legendary, and Toho are working on another Godzilla flick. The character was retired in the fairly fun Final Wars and rumors have persisted that a new feature was coming. And here it is. Expect something in or around 2012.

If you're a fan club member, Issue #32 of the Transformers Collectors Club Magazine has some fancy-pants spread showing off the new Power Core Combiners line and some interviews. As we are not paying members, we don't know if it's cool or not, but we assume it is. Watch your mailboxes!

If you're anything like us, you've always wanted to see Jane Austen or one of the Bronte sisters eaten by bloodthirsty undead monsters. Apparently owners of iPhones will soon be able to experience this through a new game revealed at 1up.com which shows that the iPhone really will allow developers to do quirky games fast. The game is developed by Freeverse, and as non-phone-gamers that means nothing to us either.

On the Matty Collector boards, Toyguru confirms a 4-pack of Ghostbusters may be coming down the road without too many specifics, proving that Mattel is in fact not allergic to money as many have speculated.
