That sucks, Tiberius. I'm sure they'll do it again.

[Tiberius]

So...any word on Beastman? I have to ask to satisfy myself lol.

[thechris]

Haha sorry man. Haven't heard from the guy yet. I'll let you know ASAP. I know these things are addictive.

Damn, that sucks. He was available pretty much all day, too. You should really check out mattycollector a few days before the 15th of each month to see what re-releases are going to be made available. They still have Keldor available and he's an awesome figure! Also, don't know if you ever got your She-Ra, but she's there as well. Go get 'er!!!!!

As for myself, I was able to pick up Orko and Draego-Man with no problem at all. No white screens or anything.

[KshatriyaNZ666]

Well I did give fair warning about Tri-Klops about a couple weeks ago. Or were you just busy the day the sale went live and missed him??

I just picked up Orko finally along with The Rookie. My Draego-Man and TP He-Man just got shipped as well.

[thechris]

Yeah, I think Tri-Klops sold out first out of all the He-man guys, then Orko. Funny, I got all my Matty stuff today from my last order for Kobra Khan. It was like $200 worth of stuff but... no duties...?? Weird but heck, I ain't complaining. I'm just grateful.

Can someone tell me who the hell Draego Man is? Is he madeup or something?

Apparantly he's a made up character created by The Four Horsemen.

Yeah, made by Four Horsemen. They did two subscriptions this year, the regular MOTU Classics sub and the MOTU 30th Anniversary sub. The MOTU Classics sub is business as usual with a variety of characters from the past. The 30th Anniversary features some new characters created by various people as well as Fearless Photog, a character designed by a kid in the 1980s for a MOTU character design contest. There was a NEW contest last year for a new character for US residents but the character hasn't been revealed yet. So far there's Sir Laserlot by Geoff Johns, Mighty Spector by ToyGuru, Draego Man by the Four Horsemen.

I'm done with this site, but want to get some last posts in before I fade away. I might pm some of you guys from time to time regarding a figure sale/trade though.

So, like most people, I thought that Orko/Adam would be gone in minutes (like Teela every time she's up) last Monday so I was racing like a mad man to get my order in and accidentally bought two Orko/Adam's and no clue how I pulled this one off, but I also somehow bought a Keldor (I already have him). Sure enough, all of the figures I wanted were still available almost a day later.

So if anyone wants a MOC Keldor for cost; pm me. And by cost I mean the figure cost plus what shipping from Matty to me would be... not shipping costs to me in addition to shipping costs to you. I'd also be open to a trade of equal value. I'm not sure what I'm doing with the spare Orko yet though.

I can't wait for Draego Man.

Love the Fisto/Kahn picture, Ludo.

Sorry to hear OV. This place won't be the same without you.

Hey man, happy to see you back but it's a total shame for the entire community that you won't be staying. Hope you'll keep in touch from time to time. It definitely won't be the same without you, your pics and sense of humour. Yeah funny thing happened. When I placed my order, it also screwed up on me and doubled the quantity of the items in my basket but miraculously, I was able to get them removed after beaking at the supervisor.

[Tiberius]

God damn it I want Beast Man!!!!!!

LOVE the Fisto vs Trap Jaw picture, it really gives the "OH FUCK, A GIANT FIST IS COMING RIGHT FOR MY FACE!!".

[ludovicotek]

Matty has updated their site with the May 15th sale info. Available are:

The Mighty Spector
Slush Head
Stinkor
Snake Mountain Stands
Man-at-Arms
Princess Adora

I would anticipate that Man-at-Arms will go quickly. He's an incredible figure and easily a must-have for any fan of this line. Personally, I'm looking forward to finally getting a Stinkor!!!!!

[Robogeek28]

If the Mighty Spector sells out quickly than there's no justice in the world at all,lol.

[Tiberius]

Man at arms!!! Consider that date booked off! Hahahaha.

[Shin Densetsu]

So I've never ordered from mattycollector.com before, if I decide to, what should I expect? I hear horror stories about even attempting to order.

Also thanks for the info on Draegoman he looks bad ass. Hero or villain?

Draego-Man is an evil warrior.

Ordering on Matty can be a huge pain. It is very common to get a white screen while waiting in queue to place your order. But honestly, the past few months have been completely painless in that regard. I expected the last two months to be a hassle to get on there and order figures but it couldn't have gone smoother. It sounded like a lot of people were after Draego-Man, and I'm sure Man-at-Arms will draw in more than a few as well, so you never know. Best thing it do is be on there at 9am Pacific/ 12pm Eastern and be ready.

Yeah, I was at the site around that 9:00 PST/12:00 EST this month for this months figures. I was surprised that the Tri-Klops sold out before Orko and Draego Man did.

Me too! I thought Orko would sell out within minutes. Just goes to show, you just never know.

Yep, not within minutes but definitely after an hour or so. I went back to see that the only thing that was "sold out" was the Voltron Yellow Lion pack so I tried adding Orko to my basket just as a test and it was sold out but not reflected on the site which seems to happen with their site a lot... How do you know when it's sold out but not reflected? It still shows it as available but you can't add it to your basket. I had a brain aching explanation on the code theory behind this earlier in this thread if anyone is interested but I suspect not. LOL.

I remember that post of yours. Sounded pretty reasonable.

Are you picking up any of those Snake Mountain stands? I think I might pick up a pack.

[Optimus Vader]

I'm on the fence about the Snake Mountain stands. I bought a lot of the "good guy stands," and think they're a little nicer than the Mountain stands, so I'm thinking I'll pass for now and maybe grab a few packs whenever they do one of their random sales.

[cmax75]

Just got my MOTU order in the mail today and Draego-Man...

WOW!!!

The pics don't do how awesome he is (from toyfair or any that I've seen online). One thing that impressed me is that he stands perfectly in place. I was worried that the wings would make him a little top heavy and force me to rely on his tail to help keep him propped up. Not so in this case!!! Definitely a great figure!!! I hope they'll have another weapons pack in the future so we can at least get the shield that was originally supposed to come with him.

Unfortunately, the QC on this figure wasn't as good as there's a little black paint on his left arm. I can just say that it's dried blood or something and overlook this (I did get a second one and I haven't looked to see if there were any smudges there as well).

I've been thinking the along the same lines. You just know they'll be available for cheaper sometime in the future. That being said, I won't be surprised if I cave come the 15th.

Post some pics if you can. I'm eagerly awaiting my order to arrive...
