Masters of the Universe Classics

[kl241]

My page kept auto refreshing for an hour and when I saw it had sold out I typed in the url and the main page came up and said sold out. I was so pissed. The first figure I missed out on. And with that, I have lost all interest in collecting this line. I'm tired of scalpers being such Hordaks and buying up 10 each and reselling them for 2-3 times more on EvilBay.

U were lucky bro and as far as POP, I'm done after She-Rah. I might not even get her, MOTU is where I stand firm.

I'd honestly get Bo and Catra, but I doubt they'd delve too much into POP. I just hope She-Ra comes with a real power sword that looks like Adam's but with a gem.

Headed there now!

feel sorry for you, I think i logged in at about 11:40 central time and was able to put my order in with no problems. Hopefully a board member will be able to help you out in getting one.....that is if you decide to stay with the line.

Matty seriously needs to get rid of that limit of 10. I think 5 would be fair enough.

I really doubt we would see Adora or She-Ra so soon.. If we do, I would be very pleased but I am not getting my hopes up. Awesome that Orko is a 2010 figure though. Maybe he will be at SDCC? Ideally he will be a nice mix of the MYP version and the original/Filmation version.

Matty stated they will have 1 POP figure coming next month, so you know it will be She-Ra. I definitely want She-Ra, but that's probably where I will stop on the POP line.

I personally think 2 would be great, so that people can atleast have a set of opened and closed. 5 is still enough for scalpers to make a decent profit.

Yeah, 5 is still a tad excessive unless someone is actually buying some extras for friends.

Ya, but remember the vote was out before the line was released and the fans (and scalpers too I'm sure) wanted a 10 per person limit. I personally voted for 3 or 4, because I thought that was a comfortable limit.

Agreed. Five is plenty. I think the amount of scalpers buying up lots of ten is far greater than the International folks trying to save a dime on shipping.

 

[2000man]

Being able to order 10 is silly. 5 is a bit much, but I could live with it.

 

[GuruAskew]

I still maintain that there's no reason to go over 4 per household. That leaves enough room for two people to each get an MOC copy and an opener. I can't reasonably believe that there's any significant number of households with two collectors requiring two figures each so even that is pretty generous.

I'm personally fine with one only. I never buy multiple copies of the same figure unless there's some sort of variant. I certainly never buy multiples of truly identical figures.

check out this funny and related link


unbelievable

gee. that's 51 auctions and i'm sure at least half of those have 9 more figures to list after one sells. so we're looking at about 300+ hordaks that could have went to real collectors.

 

[Patient Zero]

I just got my shipment Confirmation already.

Although I got hung up on the reload screen for about 8 minutes, it went surprisingly smooth. I hope Man-at-Arms goes as well.

 

[The Mike]

I got my shipping confirmation as well.....I gotta stop looking at these....I said I'd just get Hordak because I liked the way he looked and then I started looking at Webstor and then started really looking at Man at Arms....I can't get back into this line.

 

[Mesa]

Because it seems like there is obviously an easy flipper resale value on these figures, I too hope the available quantity is at least halved (max=5 or less). Not because I care about flippers flipping, but because now I think the successful flippers that are signed up already may get double/triple accounts and make it even tougher in the future to get an order in. so maybe it is about flippers flipping, just to a much larger scale. I wonder if Mattel checks any orders for duplicate addresses. I doubt it. And I dont want mattel increasing ES so much that market is flooded either.

 

[The Craw]

why not increase edtion size? the market won't be flooded cuz these aren't supposed to go to retailers. they are supposed to go directly to real collectors. there is no reason to keep the edition size low in a "collector friendly" line. if you just buy them now with hopes that they go up in value later then you are just another scalper.

Masters of the Universe was some of my favorite figures to collect in the 80's.
