    As much as I love that new Snake Mountain, I don't like the idea of my personal hobby involving payment plans. Something I need to think about between now and preorder time.

    I've got the cash saved for this but i hate to spend this much but i collected MOTUC (08'-16') all the way to the end when Matty collector ended so this is my LAST purchase for MOTUC and I'm NOT happy about buying anything from Super7 either but the first purchase was the man at arms horse colors. I just need to finish my collection since i never got snake Mt as kid back in the day. This will be my final farewell to MOTUC. So that is hoping we don't see a attack track either down the road cause if that happens I'm going to be like "they keep pulling me back in noooooo".

    $800 shipped is pretty steep. You know what's going to be nuts, though? Resellers starting at $1200 or more.

    I remember when they were clearancing them out at Matty's store and I still, stupidly, didn't pick one up.

    You think shipping is gonna be $200? I don't doubt the reseller price though, the Hasbro Barge was selling for $1000+

    We are talking about the new Snake Mountain just announced that it will be up for preorder not Castle Grayskull.

    I know, but someone had actually mentioned the current price for Grayskull on ebay which prompted my response.

    Thank you,

    Shipping is going to be an arm and a leg. I had 18 figures ship in a box that was the minimum this could possibly fit in and it cost $55. Now up the weight, add any payment plan fees, and charge sales tax on the entire transaction. $800 might've been a little high but this'll be well into the $700s easily.

    And if you order more than one, you might run into freight pricing. I was going to resell Castle Greyskulls until I found out every 3rd or 4th cost twice as much due to freight calculations. Of course, in retrospect, I still would've made out like a bandit if I'd bought and held onto them...

    BBTS Order is here, Mantenna and She-Ra opened so far, a real shame they have such a problem getting the eyes on female characters to go on properly, but I'm pleased so far. I don't suppose we can get an Ultimate Hordak some day?

    Love the images of this Snake Mt as i can't wait to own this and have it in my house. I think when i get it I'd love to put both together facing off front end to each other. Then snap a picture and see what they look like.

    Loving these figures so far, not a fan of how tight the head joints are when swapping alt heads though. Oh, and Grizzlor has some really sharp points for an Adult Collectible.

    Its curious, I was examining my regular and Bubble Power (or Starburst, dont know whats the name of the variant) and in both accounts, both heads look like a work of art in both sculpt and paint. Dont really know why Super7 cant accomplish that.

    I received my arrival notice from BBTS for classics Merman and Man-E-Faces so that's awesome....

    I hope super7 gets around to doing new figures of or simply re-issuing classics/filmation style Man-at-Arms, Teela, Ram Man, Zodac, Beast Man, Evilyn, Faker, Trapjaw, and Triclops.....

    Just do those and I'm out, I just want a small focused collection to scratch that MOTU nostalgia itch.....

    I don't fault the sculpts, it is whoever or whatever programmed the painting device to apply the eyes. It's a hair off for whatever reason, which is unfortunate, but doesn't detract too much.

    Yeah, Tung Lashor went through for me too today. Kind of annoyed Mer-Man was sold out as he was one of the ones I really wanted. Oh well, will have another POL to ship eventually, might add a few more items to it near the end of May.

    Edit: And I see the entire wave is actually in-stock despite pre-orders selling out. Damn it, I can't afford Mer-Man until the end of May, he'd better stay in stock until then. Him, Hawke, Granita and maybe Man-E-Faces and Dylamug, not sure yet which ones to go for.

    Realistically Mer-Man and Man-E-Faces will go first, but Mer-Man extra first.

    Anyone know anymore news on Snake Mt? I'm looking for when will we get the castle once we pay for it in may. Like after May 31st how much longer (MONTHS) from then on will it be till it's delivered to my house. I really am anxious to get Snake Mt. cause i never had it back in 83/84 when i was watching MOTU then on tv. I had Castle Greyskull but not Snake Mt. so once i get it,....i have a ton of plans for this castle with my Castle Greyskull.
