    does Mattel Creations take the money now or when the item ships?

    Call them directly and ask. They have pretty decent customer service and should be able to provide you with the best answer.

    Pay up front the moment your order goes through.

    I no know it’s all but never ever happening
    But a set featuring Aliens MCX xenomorphs
    And space marines set with a Nostromo or Prometheus corridor build like this would be wayyyy worth $65!!!

    I think I'll order the Eternia set IF my Orko arrives from Amazon (oh and I guess the rest of the figures in that set as well). If not, I'll wait until there's a set that includes Orko.

    Same. Don't want to risk it on this one, I'd be sad if I missed Buzz-Off and the Attak Trak. If it ends up showing up other places, maybe I'll be more patient on other future sets.

    That MC shipping is annoying, though.

    I just got a cancellation email for the Battle for Eternia II set; is that all she wrote?

    As it would seem, as derived from Mr. Snaku, this set has sold out, except for perhaps some other means of acquiring;
    If something like this grabs any kind of attention wtf Not!? there’s a subtle roar about it.

    Possibly. I want to hope that Amazon's demand has proven to Mega/Mattel that they need to make more.

    Yes. I was attempting to answer to Lachoneus.

    I just realized something. With the rumors of TMNT/MOTU crossover figures coming, I'm kinda surprised I've not seen anyone cobble together some MEGA versions of figures like that yet.

    I keep on getting Battle Rams.(5 now, 2 unbuilt)
    20230509_020521~3.jpg
    I wish for a generic piece that could be suitable for Mekaneck's neck. It would have been really great if every subsequent set had come with one or two extra neck parts for him. Buy everything, you end up with xx segments for him, all you'll ever need! Ah, what could have been.

    I *WILL* eventually get as many as gravity will allow/I can find, and these ball joints are strong enough to pose at least 10 individual lengths comfortably. He will be a standout figure once I build the larger sets, gonna have him spying sooooo much! ;)

    Licensing for one type of toy/figure may not include the rights to produce other figures in a different size. Mega used to have the rights to TMNT but they may not have renewed that partnership after comic Michelangelo was carded. But since Nickelodeon seems eager to take everyone's money, maybe it'll come back around. Which would be nice since we still need a comic Shedder in color.
    First, you can never have enough Battle Rams. Second, twenty is no issue.

    I more meant customs rather than official product, people making their own and all that.

    Fair enough, I thought you meant maybe leaked prototypes.

    Nope, just people cobbling stuff together and getting inspired by the idea and modularity of the Mega figures :D

    Certainly seems like there should be more of them out there.

    I looked but can't find any STLs for for the Mega version. I might take this version and shrink it down to see if it can be Mcguyvered into working.

    How tall is that neck, out of curiosity?
