I wanted to be a neo deconstructivist, but Mom wouldn't let me.
FINALLY found the Mark 42 and movie Iron Patriot legends ata target in BFE Alabama. We looked at probably a dozen different stores between Huntsville and Destin and the last place we stopped had exactly one of each left.

The retro collection ninja turtles have shown up at my 'local' Toysrus despite being listed as a preorder on their website and a shipdate of 08/27/2013. What I really want to pick up is the retro collection ninja turtles Party Wagon http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=20681866 which is supposed to be out next month... I would preorder it but I figure if I can pick up the turtles in store ahead of the preorder date I should be able to pick up the turtle van the same way. Has anyone seen it on the shelf or have any info when it can be REALLY found?

I gave it half a day and went back to Big Lots so I wouldn't feel like a scalper. I have the following guys for trade

2 Sy-Klone
2 Man-E-Faces
2 Clawful
1 Vykron
1 Icarius
1 Grizzlor
2 Faceless One
1 Count Marzo
1 Battleground Teela

Mostly just looking for anything I didn't score for myself already. I have Molar and Orko so I don't need either of those.

Are you trading any of those for TFs, or just looking for more MOTU? I'd really like a Man-E-Faces and Grizzlor.

I'd be interested in that Battleground Teela, all I have to swap is a Megator, but I imagine shipping on him to be a bitch.

Since he was available on amazon for $19.99, I went ahead and ordered a black series Sandtrooper. I've been hearing nothing but good things about the figure so I hope it can live up to the hype. That, and I hope they become easier to find at retail soon.

That figure is still available at MattyCollector so we probably won't see him at Big Lots.

Are those Star Wars Black figures limited? Noticed that the Sandtrooper has gone up in price by $15 now that it is sold out.

I don't think they're limited, it's just that they're so new that people are buying them for reselling purposes. They should be easier to get after a few shipments.

Bushifox posted:

They put out a statement on Facebook that basically said, "We tried to sell them to you, but you didn't buy them and so we had no choice but to ship them to discount outlets."

Matty posted:


"A few other items to re-clear up if there are remaining obstacles for fans; a few folks have been concerned about older 2009-2011 product showing up at discount retailers and the Mattel Toy Store (which is open to the public at 333 Continental Blvd, 90245). Fans were asking why this product would be sold at discount and not on Matty? The bottom line is we DID offer this older product on Matty first on Cyber Monday last year. After we sold off what we could at this sale, we announced back in Dec 2012 that remaining product would be moved to clearance to both help promote the line to more casual fans and make room for all the new 2013 and 2014 product. It took 6 months but that product is now showing up and I think a few people forgot we announced this back in December.


"We can’t afford to just store older product indefinitely. That increases handling fees and we don’t want to pass that on to the customer. So we needed to clear this out. 2012 product and forward had production cut way back (i.e. for MOTU there were no more second runs) and other items like the Ecto-1are built to order. So you WON’T see these items showing up years later at clearance prices. Essentially our first few years were a learning experience and we over-produced some figures beyond what the fan base was. To keep costs down they were first sold at discount on Matty and later moved to clearance retailers. You won’t see this happen again in the future simply because we have reduced production to sell through rates or are now only building to order (like with the Ecto 1). If your concern is product showing up at discount, you won’t see that again. This was a onetime deal to clear out product that is almost 3 years old and was overproduced"

And apparently blaming everyone for not buying them at their "sale" prices, but yet they're cool letting them go for under $10 each to Big Lots. Money, it does not make sense for MattyCollector.

A MOTUC figure costs them less than $5 to make. They still made a profit selling them to Big Lots.

Remember those TRU two-packs? Toys R Us' bought those for 9.99 per unit.

Oh I know they still made a profit on selling them to Big Lots, but if they had listed all their figures at $10-12 or hell, even $15 each, they would have sold a lot more. And they would have still reamed our asses on that sweet sweet Digital River fake shipping costs.

Just releases the toys at retail outlets. Don't make the case ratios complete poo poo and you'll be golden.

He-Man is not batman nor Barbie, there doesn't need to be a gajillion variations of the character.

Also that's a complete and utter lie in that matty statement, Megator was made in 2011. That's just almost two years ago, that's not a long time. Heck, Vykron was last year's comic con exclusive.

I picked up the 6" Luke at toys R us today. I gotta say, the figure looks great. Some of them had so-so paint jobs, but the one I got is near perfect. And they are in-scale with those old "epic force" statuettes that came out a long time ago.

I was resistant at first, but I can defintely see myself collecting this series as long as I can actually find the characters I want.
