I'm pretty weird, man. When I open a new toy it's like a romantic date. All things must be perfect. Even my wife busts my balls about it. If she gets a package she'll stop dead in her tracks and rip into it whereas I'll place it to the side until I have the time to sit down without any distractions and gracefully free the new toy. The ritual is part of my addiction.

haha i understand. i try to be patient and slowly open, but i usually rip the packaging. that's why i used to cut up my hands opening those older marvel legends.

Got a Queen Marlena last night. Was going to use her body to make a custom but if she turns out to be in the "Queen Marlena" blister, I just might keep her MOC.

Lucky. I saw the FB post and was 8 min late. She was only available for like 20 min. I just want a second one to have as palace Marlena. I still have a SDCC one MOC. Not willing to open her up. Congrats.

I did not like how Matty ran the lightning sale. I do not see the need to make several separate orders in one day paying shipping in each case.(I know they discounted shipping but I don't care) I'd rather they release everything at once so I could try and get what I wanted in one order. They lost out on my business and several others by handling the sale this way.

It IS Queen Marlena, not Captain Glenn.

I agree... It was kinda shady how some figures were sold out, then magically reappeared after the sale was over. LOL

KITT · 11-28-2012, 04:15 PM

Anyone else still waiting for their Temple of Darkness Sorceress to ship from Matty? I heard she's on back order?

Ordered one on 11/21/2012. Order still in Process. I had a feeling she was not going to be on sale and did not want to wait only to have her sell out. I was more upset that they eventually discounted figures they just sold to us last month for full price. That's a kick in the nutz.

Optimus Vader · 11-28-2012, 08:47 PM

I ordered three times during the sale. The first one I made had the Sorceress in it, but hasn't shipped while the other two orders, which I placed 4-5 days later, have all shipped.

Sounds like Mattel is cranking up the stupid again.

Optimus Vader · 11-30-2012, 09:27 AM

The order I placed that contained The Sorceress finally shipped.

Tiberius · 11-30-2012, 12:28 PM

Lets hope I get my stuff in the new year =3.

DHeezy81 · 11-30-2012, 12:59 PM

Wednesday's order arrived today.

I have an extra Zodak for sale. $20 + shipping. Will ship MOC or loose.

Edit: Zodak has been sold!

Tiberius · 11-30-2012, 02:29 PM

i see you got the mighty spector. did he grow on you?

DHeezy81 · 11-30-2012, 03:25 PM

He sux and I hate him for many reasons. Other than being absolutely lame, I loath it's creator as well. But as I've stated before. I'm a completest & a MOTU whore. So I had to have one. I don't really care for any of the 30th figs except Draego. So I put them off til close to the end. All I need now are SDCC King Grayskull, SDCC Orko (color change) Wun-Dar,Shadow Weaver, & Star Sisters. Then I will be completely up to date & my bank account will be able to take a deeeeeep breath and relax!

Tiberius · 11-30-2012, 03:37 PM

Shit son, so close! BBTS has Star Sisters for like...35 bucks?

DHeezy81 · 11-30-2012, 05:28 PM

I see it for $39 +S&H on BBTS. Which is a STEAL compared to the $90+ they had it listed for lol. I'm not sure which I'll go for next. The one thing I do know is w/e I grab from here on wont be cheap.

Shin Densetsu · 11-30-2012, 08:49 PM

Hey guys, what's the most I should pay for regular Man At Arms?

DHeezy81 · 11-30-2012, 09:29 PM

30 on the low end 55 on the high. Coulda snagged one Monday from Matty for 15 + shipping.

Alright thanks man. I've heard many horror stories for Matty's store, so I have yet to shop there. Their prices are tempting though.
