Re: NEW MOTU Classics Castle Grayskull Pre-Order NOW!!

It's going to be a beauty but didn't Eamon say shipping abroad is ridiculous? That could put off the overseas contingent. It's certainly a factor for me

Re: NEW MOTU Classics Castle Grayskull Pre-Order NOW!!

I wish the procastinators would stop waiting and just order it already(you don't have to pay for it now).I am reading so many saying I havn't ordered yet.What are you waiting for? kinda annoying because this will likely end in like Sub drama fashion.

I just got Frosta and King Hiss reissue and I have to say, both of these are very cool figures.

I was looking at the forthcoming products coming out in the next year and most look pretty cool.

I thought the fan created character concepts like Bubblor and the others were pretty damn cool...and I would have to say, they look better and far more interesting than Cy-Chop...although I think Cy Chop is pretty cool too.

Rattlor I think looks phenomenal, but too late to get him, so I guess I will have to scrounge around at some conventions or stores to get him. I'm excited about whats coming up, but honestly, I wish Mattel would venture into the more premium 1/6 mixed media MOTU figures (similar to Hot Toys).

These companies have cash cows and they don't take advantage of it. I mean World of Warcraft and MOTU would make for awesome 1/6 premium action figures. What's up with that?

It is no longer ridiculous. There was some error and it's now adjusted. Shipping is now around $100 for most place across an ocean. Australia might be a bit more. Canada is around $36. This thing will be oversized and 20 lbs. so there's only so much they can do.

I have attempted a comparison chart using visual comparisons between vintage and 200X and vintage and the foam core mock-up. Not exact, but pretty close.

It's gonna be HUGE.

You talked me into it. I'm done waiting. Going to order in the next 15 minutes !

Rattlor really is awesome. Amazing colors and paint apps.

You make a compelling argument on purchasing Grayskull. I'm been holding out to see how things unfold and make the purchase in the 11th hour, but after your statement about "procrastinators" I'm going to go ahead with my order.

Now if I remember, you mentioning that you were going to purchase two CGs. I was planning on ordering two also, but I may order just one. The shipping for one for me would be $19.65 and two $36.85, so it would cost double to ship two (I'm sure it's because each will ship individually). If I were to save more on shipping, it would be a no brainer to order two.

Wow! That pic makes the 200x Castle look horrid when compared to the other two. I didn't remember it looking that goofy.

I still haven't been charged for my October figures. I had to update my CC this month and it still hasn't been processed. Has anybody else run into this problem when they change their CC? Will I have to contact DR (which I hope I won't have to do)?

Did you correctly go into the right place to update your credit card?

you must go into your original 2012 Sub order and update your card there for it to work....just updating anything on their main page to update does not effect your Sub or previous orders etc

When I updated my card,I went into each Sub order to update (2012 and 30th subs)

Re: NEW MOTU Classics Castle Grayskull Pre-Order NOW!!

I'm in. Jumped on board. I haven't bought an MOTU figure in about two years, but I cannot resist the enormity of this display.

I didn't at first, I had updated my CC in the Billing and Shipping area. A few days ago I updated the payment info in my Subscription section.

Hey guys. This thread is HUGE! I've done a search but can't find this: Is there a thread that's just for custom He-Man stuff? I know a few of us are making alternate heads and things, and I'm very interested in seeing the work!

 

[teemu]

Well,it took 3 times,but I was able to get my order cancelled for the Grayskull's and re-ordered them today at the lower shipping cost.

I must of lucked out and got a good rep,because she instantly cancelled my first order,an email confirmation was sent instantly as we were on the phone.Handled perfectly...

I don't understand why it has to be so inconsistant at DR,because the first time I called,they said they would notify me (never heard back).The second time,they said they could not cancel it...

What was going on with the shipping? I've had the same shipping estimate since it went up for sale. I still haven't ordered yet, since I'm not sure if I want one or two.

there was a glitch on the shipping quotes which caused a higher quota when people ordered in the 1st hour...the early birds got screwed with higher shipping (same internationally)

they fixed it,but never fixed the early orders...so you have to call

 

[Kuzeh]

Crap...
I don't want to call DR!!!

 

[teemu]

Crap...

its either that or pay more in shipping..

I saved (well not really) $31 by calling

You're looking at the rebirth of a MOTU collector right here.

The announcement of Castle Grayskull has fired my imagination into thinking about all the dioramic possiblities with Granamyr, the Griffon, Shadow Beast, etc...

I'm on the fence about buying into the sub when it comes back around. Out of the 100 or so releases, I'm interested in about thirty figures, so the secondary market may be the right fit for me.

As an avid customizer (y'all know me), I'd love to see everyone's custom work as well. Maybe I'll put together a thread myself once I've worked over a few figures, and everyone can contribute. Would there be interest in that?
