I thought it was a spoof thread that was taking the heat out of an unfortunate situation. I do believe it should be moved from this section though, after all there is nothing for sale here.
On the bright side this is a great thread. It reminds us all that reselling takes a certain maturity and patience. Especially if you are trying to avoid the costs of selling on an auction site......
No way!! The giant is great.
Fisto was only $20/22 when he was released.
Yeah sure. I'm sure most people could buy it at work... Or at least call in sick/ take annual leave.
If you get paid $300 a day then you should be fairly comfortable paying a small mark-up for an...
In my case... Because Shadow Weaver actually cost around $100, when you factor in the Star Sisters which was the most punitive aspect of last years sub.
SDCC king Grayskull $60, although I paid much more the first time round.
SDCC king grayskull bronze $60. Don't have. Won't overpay.
He-man $
Beastman $
Teela $
Fisto $
Sorceress $
Whiplash $
Old age.
Seriously. The fanbase fought through every problem, ignored every dealbreaker... Struggled through every behind the scenes incompetence imaginable.
We got there though. Yeah with Ram...
Wow 5 minutes with no wsd or rsd... Was there a black screen of death? Anyway, anyone complaining after 5 minutes, with the history of this line, with the expectation of this character... In my...
Just the two headed monster. I like kronis and keldor... But don't want a full set of pre-op monsters.
I'm liking the Vulcan head of classics.
They probably had hundreds of orders cancelled 4 days ago...
Man-at-arms was re-issued and sold off multiple times. I got a couple for $10 each in a sale.
And Fisto happens to be one of the best interpretations in the line. I have no real love for the character but the toy is magnificent!
This sale was incredible. (approx) 4 long minutes of pure business. It really reminds me of the good old days when every purchase was an adventure. Much coffee, no sleep (4am in Oz), the uncertainty...
Are you sure about this? The reason I ask is that SN seemed very concerned about a conversation on facebook regarding Fang Man. He started a thread about cutting packaging, deco and accessories over...
I sure did. Did you notice that MM and Stratos both got re-issued for the tru sets? Or that Mer-Man's first sale was one of the worst stuff ups in the history of the line? Did you happen to notice...
Funny thing is that Fisto is one of the best figures in the line. He was never a favorite character but the classics version is so very close to the perfect motuc. A fan favorite for sure. Shadow...
Why? Wouldn't the subscribers that missed out on Fisto already have Teela? It's funny that when they were talking about re-issues been made by just "turning the machines back on" it was all so simple.
I have no sub next year, going to try day of... But will pay $100 if I have to. It's Ram-Man!
The smoke and mirrors worked well in the beginning, so much excitement in the early days. Now it just...
This is beautiful. Mattel cannot sell re-issues that they have labelled "sold out" multiple times. They are holding stock that they have only tried to sell for a few weeks total. It's a joke on the...
The secondary market. If retail becomes $27 then I assume there will be a new wholesale price to lure online retailers. SN has already said that figures with limited stock will be sold to online...
The best time to collect anything is the beginning... I guess you could get lucky with a collection buy or sale, but to see every toy as it is produced, to feel the excitement, stress and frustration...
All the mailers were personalized with a unique product number... Even the early ones.
My sub shipped on thursday (maybe even Wednesday in the US) and I'm in Australia. Still won't get here for quite a while though.
So you are opposed to a loyalty reward that rewards the most loyal? I have all those figures you mention... I even got maa, teela and scareglow from an Aussie collector just before black Friday last...
Nah, that was the palace guards. It would be cool by me, the only 30th figure I got was draego man, would prefer it to pop, na or any of the essentials. Either way it's free and I can always re-gift...
My guess is that this is a way to clear out the 30th anniversary figures. SN seemed fairly determined to make them a 2012 only thing and this would achieve that end. Throw in some exclusives and...
This happened to me a long time ago. Ordered a mer-man, got a beastman... I think it was the first run of re-issues. Beastman was a month or two earlier if I remember correctly.
