I had some money in my Paypal balance due to a refund. Thus, with £8 from me I snagged a King Randor on the Ebay. Soon, I shall have...3 Classics figures. -Ralph Which has been in 'being processed through our network' via 1st class recored delivery since the 11th. I begin to fear he may be lost... -Ralph |

Exciting update. The website now says this:
'We have tried to deliver your item from our WEST EDINBURGH Delivery Office before 17:17 on 21/12/10 and we have left a while you were out card.'
Naturally, no such card was left. I shall go round after work tomorrow. Past experience has shown that RM flatly refuse to even check if they have an item without the 'you weren't in' card even if ID and website info are provided. I have had many such raging arguements in the past.
I shall report back on the battle for King Randor!

RM operate a last in first out system in times of overload. Which is bonkers. Surely it makes more sense to keep shifting them out in order received? More manageable, less irate customers, etc. -Ralph |

There was the predicted stooshie, involving deep sighs, throwing up of hands and the announcement that tracking numbers don't exist. I think only the large queue growing behind me was the persuasion required to go have a look.
KING RANDOR IS HERE!
HE WILL **** YOU UP!

Zodac and Prince Adam acquired from ebay. Sometime in the new year before I get them though.

Same here. Along with a Grizzlor. He-Man and Skeletor from previous month's budget yet to turn up. All at some point in January.
No luck snagging Force Captain Adora or Man-At-Arms yet. One I have those plus Battle Cat I will have my favourites, thereafter will pick and choose.
Less TF's in 2011 I think...

That's my thinking too, I thank the lord for a Movie year. Though by the looks of it Generations & RTS are heading closer to DOTM's release date.

Yip, but once they pass and we get into the Movie zone then more MOTU for me. Not touching Mattycollector.com with a bargepole though! Ebay shall do just fine.

Does she come with Zoar the mystical falcon?
Good news from ebay seller is that the re-issues of the Classics He-man and Skeletor I pre-ordered a while ago are in stock and will be shipped after Chrimbo. Hurrah.

Zoar is included too.
How much did the He-Man and Skeletor set you back, Ralph? Even though I already have Skeletor I want to get another I can open. And of course, I don't have a He-Man yet.

£30 a pop. Most MOTU figures go for around that on the secondary market.

£26 for Teela and Zoar, though yet to receive her.
Skeletor VS Molar was £45.
Roboto is ace!
If they ever do a General Rattlor, I would get one. The 2003 figure is pretty darn amazing as it is.

Goodness that IS cheap. Beware though. Forget the backwards shoulders, I have heard many tales of the clear plastic chest being cracked in-packaging. |

Is Moss Man any good? I've heard a while back concerns regarding him being a 'flocked' figure like the original.

Is Moss Man any good? I've heard a while back concerns regarding him being a 'flocked' figure like the original. The main issue I've heard with him is that he smells a lot and makes the other figures smells too, but that IS his gimmick. There was a lot of whining because Mattel could either release him unflocked, fully flocked or partly flocked (to allow the joints to, you know, move). The released him partly flocked, which I think looks great, but some people wished that he had been made fully flocked. But He-man fans are INCREDIBLE whiners. |

It is the mysterious price-drop Roboto. It started at £30, then was £25, yesterday it was £20, today it is £19! -Ralph |

Filth Captain Adora is here. She is so lovely.
Alas, Battle Cat, Zodac and Grizzlor are currently lost by Royal Mail and He-Man and Skeletor have been stuck in "being processed for delivery" for a week now...

...though I was surprised when there was a knock at the door this morning at half eight. This was doubly surprising as mail never comes this early and it's a Sunday. It was the postie, with a box of awesomeness. Within were Classics Skeletor and He-Man. Not had a chance to open them up yet but He-Man comes with his axe and shield, just like back in the day! I did not know this as the pics I had seen had only shown his sword.
I hope the other figures become unlost.
