Just ordered mine too. Can't wait until we start seeing some in-production photos. I might faint like a woman in an old black and white film.

My mind is already salivating for a Snake Mountain. I'd love a Crystal Castle too. Fright Zone...

ludovicotek · 10-16-2012, 02:30 PM

I just ordered my Castle Grayskull, and thanks to you guys I made sure to change my shipping to UPS. I'm still kicking myself for leaving USPS for my subscription.

And an updated Snake Mountain and Fright Zone would be soooooooooo awesome!

Tiberius · 10-16-2012, 02:36 PM

I'd be happy with Rattlor

Still bummed..

Black Dynomite · 10-16-2012, 02:41 PM

Check out BD's Place of Bidness if you need any of these.

Because it's like $1.50-$2 more and it gets delivered within 7 days for me. Regular ground is done by that incompetent Newgistics company who drives from CA to NV, back to CA, then back trhu NV before heading East. Then it gets delivered to a post office somewhere along it's trip. UPS is well worth the extra buck or two.

Bubba304 · 10-16-2012, 09:23 PM

DHeezy...I know you keep your MOTUC's MOC....so i ask you this...grayskull...you gonna open it???

I live in Las Vegas and it's so frustrating seeing it go to Sparks, NV and sit there for weeks, then be delivered. NewJIZsticks SUCKS.

I never stopped using UPS. In fact, the one time I ordered a sub not realizing UPS was not the choice I picked, I called up DR and forced them to cancel my order so I could reorder the figures using UPS. I do not trust the other choice, especially when it has the most assnine shipping destinations.

I wasn't able to do that at the time I ordered my subs. Sent them an e-mail. Got one back from someone who said that it was possible, they just needed some information. Sent them the info and got an e-mail back from a different person saying I couldn't do it!

This has been the SOLE issue I've had with Digital River. It's been smooth sailing with them since my first ever order off of MattyCollector.

But yeah, like ludvicotek. I'm kicking myself for having USPS set for ALL of my subs.

If it's something I can remove from the package w/out ruining it. Yes I'll open it an check it out. If not, it'll stay forever preserved in it cardboard tomb.

Tiberius · 10-17-2012, 04:41 PM

Why do eBay sellers even have "best offer" if they will only lower it by 90 cents? Laughable and makes collecting Masters difficult when BOTH parties [Matty or eBay like sites] make it impossible to collect? Takes ages for Matty orders to get here, if they do, and well, eBay is eBay...

cmax75 · 10-17-2012, 07:35 PM

Speaking of Matty orders. This came in the mail today. Really surprised at the speed given that I never switched to UPS.

Sorry for the blurry images for the last two shots, but as you can see, Rattlor didn't come with the shoulder armor shown in one of the other shots.

I'll have some shots of them out of packaging later or tomorrow (Rattlor at least).

Tiberius · 10-17-2012, 09:03 PM

Can't believe I missed Rattlor. It's almost Thursday and I am still pissed.

Yeah, Toyguru/Scott said that that was a big screw-up on their end. No one will be getting The General armor with their orders or with Rattlor. We'll have to wait for the next Weapons Pak or another suitable character to pack the armor in with. Rattlor's deco pretty much ate up the cost for this fig.

Good news on the other hand! Mr. Neitlich has confirmed that Snake Face will be able to retain ALL of his accessories. He mentioned before that he was worried that they might have to cut his staff in order to budget the cost.

Dr Kain · 10-17-2012, 10:38 PM

I don't understand how the staff could cost much considering all they are doing is repainting it.

Dark Hayabusa · 10-18-2012, 10:33 AM

^ I guess time and materials pushed the budget over the edge.

while I'm trying to add detail to the accessories

-Aw, dude!

-What? That wasn't me! Panthor must have gone here or something

Same here. The two figures that sold out the fastest so far this year are Fisto and Rattlor. The day Fisto was on sale I had a job interview that ran until about 12:45 and missed him and this time I was in a Jamaican daze until about 12:30 when I snapped out of it and missed out. Every other month I'm refreshing by 12:02. Fisto was arguably my favorite good guy as a kid so I hit BBTS and over paid because I couldn't wait; Rattlor is a must have for me, but I'll probably wait until he's back up on Matty's site (unless someone has one for trade/sale here??).

haha... nice. Stinkor is a great example of why Masters of The U is so much fun. I still remember the look on my Dad's face when I got Stinkor as a kid when he found out the figure actually smelled bad intentionally.

Dark Hayabusa · 10-18-2012, 11:14 AM

LOL, same here. I used to take delight at getting people to smell him and see their reaction. And I did it with the classics figure as well. Everyone can't stand his smell but me, because the patchuli oil just reminds me of the christmas I got the vinatage toy. Whereas, because of a cleaning job I did, I won't buy Moss Man because of the strong pine scent

Tiberius · 10-18-2012, 12:16 PM

Tried to get a Rattlor for what I consider a fair price for both parties...didn't happen.

Still no matty order either...

soundwavempl · 10-18-2012, 12:20 PM

Well, I finally put my pre-order in for Castle Grayskull. Woohoo!!!

Shipping was fast this month. I got my subscription Rattlor and Frosta (via UPS) in yesterday and my Cy-Chop (via New Logistics) in today.
