8/15 Sale Announced

[The Sorcerer]

Hold on... So no Frosta? Only the Sir Laser-lot?


This isn't a good time to have delays with the current subscriptions.

[Berserker79]

They forgot the Snake Mountain stands....again

[He-Mangar]

The 8/15 sale page is up, along with a few previously unannounced re-issues:

8/15 Sale

• Palace Guards
• Bow
• Chief Carnivus
• Grizzlor

Needed Grizzlor, so good news for me.

[EtherianChronicles]

If they're the same as before yes. There are 3 sizes, 1 for MOTUC, 1 for DCUC males, 1 for DCUC females.

J

Right, and according to the listing, only one stand comes with all three sizes, the others have just the one smaller size. Will they fit ANY MOTUC? If they don't fit MOTUC, then I'm not buying packs just to get one "clamp" in each one that is usable.

This seems just like the stands - and the lack of pegs. My gosh, it's cheap plastic...give us the extra clamps so we have the option of using any of the 3 on all 3 stands. With wobbly ankles and complex poses, the Snake Mountain and Grayskull stands really benefit from one peg in each foot, and then you have the "diorama" piece that attaches, and needs it's own peg. So you really need 3 pegs/stand. Yet, they only provide 2 per stand, when it's likely they cost a fraction of a cent each in plastic.

Seriously...been looking forward to picking up some of these stands for Buzz Off, Stratos, etc. but it sounds like if I do I'll need one set for EACH of them, and end up with two extra, unusable stands out of the deal for each one. Not worth it.

Am I right, or am I just missing something here?

He are some shots of Sir Laser-Lot. I tend to agree with a lot of you that more traditional colors would have made the figure more appealing. Would have also liked to see a jewel in the armor since it is "enchanted."

I'm actually glad the snakemen got pushed back because I now can save my money to buy two extra packs outside of the sub. I'll probably sell sir laser lot and I probably won't break even.

[Capt_Piett]

So long as I snags me a DCU Mirror Master, I'll be a happy camper. I hope the DCU sub goes forward, because while I don't want to purchase EVERY character they put out via a sub, I definitely have interest in many of them, i.e. Atrocitus, Poison Ivy, Mirror Master....I would KILL for a chance to round out the Sinister Six to go along with my Deadshot and Catman....

[evenflow]

Cant wait for this years DC sub to be over, I haven't had any real luck getting rid of the figures I dont have interest in.

I was able to use 2 stands for Stratos and Buzz -Off from the one set I got last time. Not sure which attachments I used though.

[Neil Ronie]

Defiantly adding Grizzlor and some flight stands this time around.

Fantastic photos, thanks for sharing your review.

You and me both!

[Magdalena_Fan]

Agreed! Where is Voltron Blue Lion and Allura?!?!

Same here! Blue Lion and Princess Allura can't get here fast enough.

BTW, when is Sven shipping?

But I'm also sad there are no reissues. Been looking forward to BA He-Man and version 1 Teela for ages.

[Morbebanur]

To answer you question Sven is coming this month with the Blue Lion and Allura. So much for a lite month. I love the Voltron figures but will be glad when the sub is over and can not wait for the 30th sub to end also with 1 great figure , 2 good figure, 1 ok, 2 that sucks.

[MOTU_Maniac]

Glad to see some reissues. Gonna pick up Bow, Grizzlor, and Chief Carnivus.

[Toymaker]

Hmmm, might be an easy month for my credit card with just the one figure, but I wouldn't mind a 2nd set of guards to display all 4 heads

[Swifty]

Oh flight stands for sure, and will also pick up one of every re-issue for my nephew. Bring on Sir Laser-Lot, the part of my wall where I put the 30th Ann. sub figures looks so bad with just three right now.

I know what you mean! At least next year it's gonna be purely MOTUC for me.

Thanks for the info, Morbebanur!

They told us this at SDCC, it should be no surprise now

[The Goon]

I will more than likely get two of the Palace Guards, Chief Carnivus and possibly Bow. Sir Laser Lot is a possibility. Still thinking on the sub for myself.

Goon.

Thanks richalot!

I've been enjoying your site for years, I'm glad to see you on the Org!

[Stygian360]

This is my plan as well. After seeing the Snake Men pack on display at SDCC I was even more pumped! These look fantastic and I'll gladly own four for the possible head switch out options. Now it's just a matter of finding shelf space!

[Calderon]

And September will be another customs feast...

[Teitan]

Finally flight stands for my Buzz-Off, Faceless One and maybe Webstor.
p.s richalot your gallery is perfect beautiful shots of cool figure, I waited for him so impatient (love his plume and his close helm) agree with more realistic colours, but again he is sir laser lot.

[Jun-Yor]

Just bought my flight stands! WOOT!
