    I've made a big switch from lego to Mega. Lego is nice, but most lines i liked have gone dormant for a long time, like knighs, pirates and some cool unique spece themes that are not star wars.
    I was mostly into action figures when Mega's stuff was in shops here, i regret not buying it then, but i tracked down most sets now. Got almost all modern COD sets and some halo and destiny stuff. Seeing that they are hard to come buy at decent prices they have some popularity even in Europe.

    OK, so I definitely have to get that Greyskull after seeing these pics. Pretty much was going to anyways but it looks sweet and won't take as much space as a regular size one. Also interested where the Battle Bones was purchased.

    I got him on e-bay, I had Battle Bones as a kid and I always used the blue weapons pak axe with my battle armor Skeletor that was my Skeletor when I was a kid.

    I'm hoping they do the battle armor versions one day too they already have swappable armor.

    After blowing the cash on Grayskull I figured I might as well get it.

    Yep, I figured I would wait until after the show, see if the price was a little more reasonable.

    With my luck it will be but I don't trust ordering anything from Mattel after MOTUC and digital river.

    Has anyone found the new heroes yet

    I still haven't seen the Firebreak armor crate

    I'm thinking they'll make a non flocked one some point probably a snake armor Teela too in different colors

    I bought two on eBay. People are selling their preorders.

    I never trust those.
    Selling a pre-order?
    How do I know you'll even get the item?

    Ebay:
    Wow. Fuck those eBay scalpers selling $30 toys for $100. Just earn your damn money from your jobs like normal people instead of taking advantage of a shitty situation! Fucking leeches!

    Also, I just read the instructions for these exclusives and it's even more fucked up than I thought. They won't actually be at sdcc. You preorder on their site, then you have to go to their booth at sdcc to confirm your order. You show your comic con pass, id, and your order confirmation. Your name has to match on all three - they wouldn't want to accidentally allow any of their fans access to the toys without making them actually go to San Diego and pay for a comic con ticket. Then they don't even give it to you there. They ship them out after the convention. They're literally making you jump through a hoop for no reason when they could've just freaking sold the things on their site and saved everybody all this bullshit.

    I hear you. That’s why I always get the seller with 100% positive feed back who offers a 100% money back guarantee.

    That's why you always read the descriptions. Checked a few randomly and they do indeed have it in the description that if they can't secure the item you get a refund right quick. If you do go for one of the ebay listings just print screen the important text just in case. It's written in the description, the seller can't do an about face if you've got the proof saved, not that it matters since ebay seems to side with the buyer more often then not.

    I'm surprised that there isn't a prince Adam minifigure yet. He-man has been done three or four times.

    :D  Not sure if that's intended or a typo that still works.

    Some kinda subliminal slip, I reckon.

    Speaking of "wak", Mattel has the exclusives up.

    I put in an order. What are they gonna do, tell me "no, sorry... didn't attend"?

    Ok. Now I'm confused.
    The descriptions say that attendees need to verify their order at the Mattel booth, but nothing to make clear if pre-orders are for attendees only or not.

    Yes, because you need to be at their booth in person to confirm your order. Says it right on the item page.



    The pre-order is for attendees only since you need to confirm your order at the con. It's their way of making it so con goers don't need to be dragging exclusives around or stand around waiting in line to buy the exclusives.

    I hope they're made available to non-attendees afterwards. I kinda want that She-Ra 2-pack.
