Chicagoland Sightings Part 2 - The Revenge!!!

[Shankor]

Great news, I'm happy with all the unveilings and have no problem at all buying everything they showed. They said the other SDCC Exclusive would be revealed in April, anyone think that'll happen in Chicago? By the way, great time Friday hanging with you all. Thanks for the hook up again Sebby, much appreciation!

[BrandnChicagoHorde]

Man, I barely know who any of those MOTUC figures are... I know She-Ra, Keldor and that guy with the long black hair (I know who he is, but I can't remember his name...). As for the big gorilla and the Tytus... never seen them before... oh and what's up with the dentist 2-pack? Is that just supposed to be a joke?

[JimmyPSHayes]

Everything looks SO AWESOME!!!!! I'm afraid I might have a heart attack, I better call a doctor or 2:


Mattingly-Sorry I missed your call. You were calling to tell me that there's naked pictures of Snookie on Egotastic right? Good man!

[Son of Keldor]

awesome stuff revealed.

looking forward to looking for those 2 packs.

she looks awesome w/ the vintage mask and her killer axe/comb.

Hayes!!!!!! - haha. I just saw those. Honestly, I think she's sexy. I would let her be on her knees on my floor.

Toys are looking good, but nothing has floored me yet, though Marzo (remembered his name!) is pretty f'kin' cool.

[JimmyPSHayes]

BY NEPTUNE'S TRIDENT!!!! THESE FIGURES ARE OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!



& it seems Batman is that rich guy Bruce Wayne!

[Shankor]

I assume I was looking at a three pack when I saw the Infinite Heroes Power Glow John Stewart, Sinestro Corps Sinestro and Kyle Raynor as Parallax. If that is the case, then that is simply toooo sweeeeeetttt!

Wow didn't expect to see Tytus. Marzo, She-Ra, Keldor all look great. So does Whiplash but I really hope they don't screw over Clawful like they did in 2002. I've always liked Clawful more than Whiplash. The extra head is a nice touch.

I think this line has officially eclipsed the 2002 line now.

Edit: I have no idea who that gorilla grodd repaint is though.

Good time seeing everyone Friday!

All the new unveilings look great! I need to find a job ASAP. As goofy as that Mo-Larr 2-pack is, I'll probably end up getting it just for the Skeletor. Love that the Skeletor in the DC pack has comic accurate colors. And since the kryptonite pieces will be included w/Lex & Skelly, I don't need to hunt for the Supergirl/Lex 2-pack.

Tytus' bio is the first decent one that Mattel has managed to crank out thus far, IMO.

Really surprised we didn't get to see Orko, Man-E-Faces, Panthor or Adam, but there's always C2E2 and SDCC. If trends continue, (King Grayskull & He-Ro) the unannounced SDCC exclusive will be someone never made before, so I'm guessing Eldor or Marlena.

Now that Whiplash is coming, all that's left to sculpt for Clawful is the arms, armor & head. (The mace is in the Weapons Pack) Buzz-Off just needs the Clawful arms, head, wings, mask & axe. With these guys STILL selling out within minutes, I'm sure Clawful will come out sooner rather than later.

That Grodd retool is Gy-Gor. He's in the same boat as He-Ro. He was prototyped for the Power of Grayskull line that never made it to retail. I believe he was originally supposed to be based off the gorilla figure from the old Big Jim line. (Like Battle Cat was) Guess this means there is hope for Hans-Some!

Also excited for the Wal-Mart DCUC Green Lantern 5-pack this June. While Hal, John & Sinestro will be repaints, at least we also get Tomar Re & Guy Gardner. Considering all the parts reuse, it better not cost more than last year's 5-pack.

[Son of Keldor]

i'll buy gy-gor just to be a completist, but i would've prefered another animal figure like swiftwind or cringer.

Anyone watch Pawn Stars on History? It's pretty funny to see the seller's reaction when the stuff they are selling/pawning is revealed to be fake or a reproduction. Hope everyone is doing well!

[Son of Keldor]

once in a while, yeah its pretty funny when that happens to people!

It's also funny when this happens to people


-Hey, can anyone help me out with a Trapjaw? I PMed Seb, but haven't heard back from him. Long story short, I forgot to switch my credit card and while I called Mattel yesterday and they SAID that everything was fine, I'd just as soon have a back up.

[Skullface]

RSOD already!

[Dynamo of Eternia]

RSOD already!

Actually I'm getting WSOD... White screen of death.

[BrianS]

Looks like my order went through. I just got 2 Battle Cats and some stands - hope everyone else can get what they want!

[Skullface]

That was brutal. Got everything ordered, but the screen wouldn't load after submitting the order to get to the "Order Confirmed" screen. Opened up a new tab and checked my order history, and fortunately, it was there. Got the confirmation e-mail a few minutes later. Checked the store again to see that Trap Jaw sold out faster than Adora! Mattel obviously isn't making much in the way of extras for non-subscribers.....

[BrianS]

I didn't see when they sold out, but both Trap-Jaw and Battle Cat are sold out now.

[JimmyPSHayes]

Luis was right. You guys suck.

[Dynamo of Eternia]

I did get my order through earlier, so everyone that I ordered Battlecat(s) for is set.

I would have posted sooner, but I've been having trouble accessing He-Man.org. The servers keep messing up or something. (I even got so far as getting into this thread and clicking reply and typing out a post, then the server started acting up again, and the post never went through).

Anyway, the order is in, I got my confirmation, etc. But there was a lot of lag. Even when I wasn't getting the WSOD (formerly RSOD), there was just A LOT of lag getting from one screen to the next.

But the order is in and all is well.. until the next insane sales date.

EDIT: Jimmy, I'm sorry, I didn't even read your post on needing the Trap-Jaw until just now. But Jason said at the last meeting that he will have an extra coming from his subscription that he won't need, so he might be able to help you out with that if that figure isn't already called for.

[Mr. Shokoti]

I might be done with this line!

I'm going to give it a day or so before my anger lets me do something rash, but I think I might be done with this MOTUC line.

I was in front of thr computer 5 minutes before 11:00 and was already getting the white screen telling me of Matty's automatic screen refresher. When I finally got on around 11:05, I was told that I couldn't complete my order since something was sold out. Considering the only one sold out was Trap-Jaw(he wasn't even in my cart since I have a subscription), I knew that was an error. I opened a second window and tried it all over again and I still got the same response. I did this a few more times until my order finally went through without Battle Cat. I'm now getting a Man-At-Arms & a box of Grayskull Stands but they took my freakin' Battle Cat out of my cart.

I am really considering not only dropping this line but getting rid of the toys I have already. While it may be a waste of money, I won't be putting them on Ebay. I'll be putting them on my driveway where I can run them over one at a time. I might even print up a picture of Matty to put over the toys before I feel the sweet, sweet satisfaction of crushing them under my Michelins.

This kid has got the right idea.

[Son of Keldor]

hahahaha sucks to be some of you guys, i was able to get both my and erika's orders in for 10 battle cats!

i'm Rich Beach!!!

=)

[leonardo]

I missed out on battlecat and I had the coupon too. Oy. Oh well Hopefully they reissue him.

[Son of Keldor]

Waitaminutehere! Am I going to be Battle Cat-less? Well that means I must now customize one. I'm gonna to go to the Humane Society and buy a cat and make my own real life version, heck I may get three keep one mint in box and the other two I will use to create a flocked and unflocked version of Panthor.
