  1. With shipping and tax, it was close to $70 for me. So definitely paying a premium. It's close to eBay prices, but at least it's not going to scalpers.
  2. Yeah, it moves up and down. Good idea in theory but just bad in execution. Maybe a softer and more flexible plastic would have been better.
  3. FYI, the little on/off switch on the back of Metalhead is very fragile and easy to break. My Metalhead fell over and nob broke off. So hoping that there's a running change on this release.
  4. Great article. Admittedly, I do resort to eBay for some convention exclusives. When paying a premium for these figures, I do factor in the cost of traveling, convention admission, and time spent waiting in line. I'm not paying double the price as the article points out, more like a reasonable "service fee" for saving me the hassle.
  5. In package pics must mean that they're close to being released.
  6. Noticed that BBTS has listed the wave 3 set for 189.99. It's cheaper to get the figures individually for 44.99 each. And the past wave sets have only been 179.99
  7. 1. What item(s) have you bought or tried to buy from Mattel/MattyCollector.com I bought all of the Classics He-man figures except for the first two figures, He-man and Beast Man. I was trying to save on shipping and buy them together, but they sold out before I got the chance. 2. Are you in the United States or a International customer I am in California, US. 3. What overall grade do you give Mattel/Mattycollector.com in regards to your experience with them; A, B, C, D or F. I would give Mattel/Mattycollector.com a B. The Classics He-Man line is great on multiple levels, but it is frustrating dealing with buying the figures online. a. I did get most of the figures that I want, but it was very stressful. I don't think I ever set an alarm and planned my day around purchasing a figure online. I also think it's ridiculous that figures sell out so quickly. You pretty much have to be a hardcore collector to get the MOTC stuff and buy them the moment they are released. So for product availability, I would rate this a C/D. b. Because I live in California, I get my figures fairly quick. I did have one problem when I used USPS, but I use UPS now and it's great. For Customer Service, I would rate it an A. c. I collect my figures MISB, so I have been a little disappointed in the condition of the MOTC figures when they arrive. The card backing always seems a little bent and almost warped. The condition of the packaging isn't a huge deal, but I can imagine it being a big problem for other collectors. Other than the packaging, the MOTC figures are awesome. Customer Satisfaction is an A/B.
  8. Have you guys received Stratos yet? I placed my order the day he was up for sale, but I haven't received anything yet. I heard that they ship from Canada, so is that why it's taking so long?
  9. I also haven't received an order that I placed about a month ago. When I checked the status of my order, it said it was "complete". I guess I have to call Mattcollector on Monday. Someone in this thread mentioned that the shipping station is in Canada. Do you think my package may be stuck in customs?
  10. I went to the TRU in Pinole, CA. Fortunately, I was able to go through unopened cases, so I was able to pick up pretty much everything I wanted. I got: 2 darth vader 2 general grievous 2 clone troopers 1 royal guard 1 unleashed general grievous 1 FB vader 1 FB grievous 1 color changing light saber 1 deluxe anakin --> vader happy toy hunting
