That would be a great sign!

[CanadaClassics]

I can't believe I am finally buying a CG !!!!!!!

Please let it happen!

This is the only MOTUC item that can't sell out !!!!

[Krueger]

That would be a great sign!

Yeah, in a way, the WSOD will be an oddly welcomed sight.

[MegaGearMax]

It's up....

[Uncle Montork]

1 Castle Pre-ordered here!

[NorthCoast]

Got 2!

[Grimmy]

ok, preordered. with luck i will have Castle Grayskull under my Christmas tree next year and i can display it with Fort Max

[Calderon]

200$ for INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING is going to make a lot of people pass on this...

I wouldn't mind a little more Alcala/Mark Taylor prototype in there, but the inclusion of the ledge and the 'chess piece' do make this design very desireable. It's a good hybrid between the original toy and the proto. I do think that Erick is going to have his own take and the shape of the skull and teeth will likely be a bit different from the drawing.

I CAN´T- shipping to Europe is 200$

[Grayskull's Heir]

OK I just ordered one Castle. So far, I've ordered two of each MOTUC item but shipping to Germany is $198.75 so there's absolutely no way I'm buying more than one.

[Sir Reilly]

Nearly $ 200.- shipping to Germany!? WTH!!!

Sorry Mattel. I was willing to pre-order this awesome castle. But though I expected high shipping costs, I did not expect them to nearly double the price! Forced to pass now and deeply depressed because of it.

[Grayskull's Heir]

Have we reached the goal yet?

[CanadaClassics]

It is $70 to Canada. Gotta have one.

[iron_pride]

Ouch! That international shipping charge kepeing our international friends from pre-ordering doesn't bode well. I hope Matty can do something about it.

[KUZEH]

Pre-ordered mine!!
But Mattel is seriously dropping the ball here... a lot of casual collectors will be interested in this,
but with those crappy tiny pictures, they are not doing themselves any favors...

[HordakQuack]

That's awful. I feel so bad for the international fans, and this will definitely hurt sales tremendously.

[Krueger]

Yeah, I just did a "mock order". International shipping to the UK is just under $200. Added together it would be about $450, which would be about £280. I really have to think about this. I suspect that a lot of international costumers are going to pass on this one, which is a shame, because everyone is needed to make sure the pre-order goes through. Mattel could have problems here.

[HordakQuack]

Scott felt no need to let everyone know about this?

[MegaGearMax]

$36.00 to ship it to New Jersey!

[Uncle Montork]

$36.00 to ship it to New Jersey!

Yeah, same for me. I just ordered 4 big heavy rims plus hardware for our car and the shipping was about the same, and that was 2 HUGE heavy boxes! NO WAY CG is that big and heavy!!

[Krueger]

I still may order it, but I really have to think this one through. I've got just under a month. More than enough time.

[he-man121]

So $198 shipping to the uk,thought about it and decided that i could probs just push to it and then wham Card validation failed and yet i use it for ebay all the time and there's still a year left on it.
