Sanschel posted:How slow is Megalopolis on shipping under normal circumstances? I ordered Thanos a month ago, and they shortly thereafter sent out a mass email about staffing shortages and COVID-related delays so I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt, but also wondering how long I should give before I pester them about it The SH Figuarts Thanos? I'm in the exact same boat. I DID sent them a support email, they got back to me with a COVID-related delay message. Which is entirely fair, but is also sounds like theyre kinda slow normally anyway.

So far I've only seen Roadblock and both Targets only had him. They had three of him at each location, though.

I was at Target in Redmond WA tonight and they had a ton of new NECA stuff. I got the Biollante Godzilla and it is easily the nicest of the NECA Godzillas that I've ever had in hand. Its detailed, great articulation and very heavy feeling. I also found a Funko Godzilla board game that I knew nothing about but got because of it being a Godzilla board game. I saw a couple of the TMNT music stage show boxes. I didn't think to look for GI Joes because I don't collect them but the main toy action figure section was maybe a little bit more full than it has been?

The Godzilla board game is fun to play but the entire premise is "trash as much stuff and attack the other players as possible before the humans kill you." So it's kinda depressing in that way because everyone WILL die. And no Baronesses in my area as well (central Iowa).

So it's kinda depressing in that way because everyone WILL die. The best Godzilla game is King of Tokyo/New York. When you have 5-6 players in a single game it basically turns into the bit in Destroy All Monsters where Ghidorah is getting curbstomped by everyone.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRlRFUge_Ic Cheese and crackers, this figure looks fantastic. Were it not for my devotion to all-things Mandalorian and the import figures having way more accessories, I'd say this Mando would be more than enough for me. He really looks perfect, and I loved the rifle shooting pose he can get into. Looks so realistic. Gahh, can't wait for Amazon to ship this guy to me!

Nanigans posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRlRFUge_Ic The original Mandalorian figure they did was similarly excellent, easily one of the most posable BS figs I own. I’ll probably pass on this one though since the armor is kinda ugly in that flat silver paint app.

Wow I might cancel my foguarts Beskar armor mando preorder, that black series one looks great and it’s a fraction of the price. Speaking of foguarts, I’m somewhat tempted to try and collect the ginyu force. The Captain Ginyu that’s just coming out looks awesome.

Make sure you find the Demoniacal Fit Guldo because the one Figuarts is packing with Burter is a static statue while Demoniacal Fit's is articulated.

You could be looking at rebuilding a vintage collection that will likely cost $10,000 to assemble. All while constantly being reminded that you sold the same collection 20 years ago for $200.

Ultimate Metalhead is up on NECA's site. Looks like their new flat-rate shipping is $15. Better than the previous calculated rate (for me, at least. It was $23), but it still feels inflated and kind of gross.

I've been collecting the Mario Kart Hot Wheels and there is a unique Blue Yoshi in the Bowser's Castle set. I have all of the other general release characters and would like the Blue Yoshi but I don't really want to buy the entire track set. Does anyone know if that series is still continuing or if this is the end of it?

Check two Targets, only new GI Joe, in fact the only one at either of them was one Roadblock. I THINK I saw someone walking away with a couple Cobra Troopers, not sure. Went pretty early too. But I'm fine with this, because since I didn't spend any money on these figures that frees me to order the MAFEX Batman Hush! Who I want way more anyway.

Shipping is really expensive and we’ve gotten used to places like Amazon having deals to make it cheaper.

I guess I was underestimating the size of Metalhead and letting some of my bias against NECA seep in. I do a lot of shipping w/ keyboards and accessories and the shipping cost is never that much, but they probably come in overall smaller packages or with slower transit time.

The Mezco One: 12 Death Dealer is up for preorder.  But it's $150 because it comes with pins and a Death Dealer art print.  It comes up to be around $180 with taxes and shipping. Eh, I just can't do it. And I really wanted him to go with the Conan I preordered on BBTS too, but Conan was only $90. https://www.mezcotoyz.com/one-12-collect-death-dealer-vault
