Both of which are still available in stores in good supply in the US, however not available here in Canada.

Ultimate Iron Man is available for pre-order from BBTS for $11.99 and Mandarin sells for at times $30 out of package, these are both sealed in original packaging. I won't name names, but I was called a scam artist and sent links to RSC and other rip-off sites who sell Macho Man for $19.99. I -know- that these two figures are still sold at TRUs and Targets all over the US for $14.99 to $15.99. If I was quicker, I could've bought them from Mattel's online shop, but I missed out. I was told that Mandarin was "only a $7 toy". That's just over half of what I would've paid at retail in Canada (and I didn't, btw, I had to get this online, just like most people, and it was just under $30 which I thought was a steal for MOC).

I didn't even want to trade these, by the way. They're from my own collection. I really wanted the two WWE figures though and I figured I could help out some Arkers with some hard to find figures at super low prices in the process but in the end, I got slapped in the face for it. Thankfully a super generous Arker who already had both Mandarin and Ultimate Iron Man offered to pick the WWE figures up for me at cost plus shipping. My point is, not everyone on here is a jerk and quinten182 is a cool guy, this is probably just a minor disagreement. It'd be a shame if you let this one bad experience keep you from trading on here.

No, good points. And I promise, I'm not over here jumping up and down screaming or anything, but I don't like it when someone, who despite my attempts to rectify a situation, uses me as an example of negative actions, then turns around and says they don;t understand anger. It's just, guh... Whatever.

Are you still looking for those figures though? I know a Wal-Mart the town south of us has Bam Bam and our K-Mart has Macho. If you need them, I can get them to you,at cost (free shipping), if you don't mind me waiting until payday (hello excess Pell grant money). I already have Mandarin and Ultimate IM.
