Toys R Us has an online deal today only for an extra 10% off, including already discounted figures. It’s a mish-mash of stuff, as usual, but there are some Halo and Young Justice figures on sale. I haven’t actually seen the new Halo stuff in stores, but got confused by the “6-inch” designation on the new stuff. Are the new Halo figures truly in the 6-inch scale? If so I might have to check them out.
Folks have been making the best of the current Hasbro Marvel Legends sale at Amazon.com – right now RoML Series 3 is available for under $9 each – and it looks like Mattel is going to get a turn with an upcoming Lightning sale on the Mattel Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters.
It’s set to kick off at 6PM PST tonight (12/6), and these flash sales usually go for a couple of hours. I think it will be limited to Batman, Bane, and Catwoman, because those are the only ones available from Amazon. (The more rare figures are also in stock, but are from other sellers just using the Amazon sales channel.) Should be some good prices, because they’re already priced pretty well:
The deals aren’t quite as rich as the MattyCollector Black Friday / Cyber Monday sale, but with each pack you will be getting $10 off a set of 3 MOTUC figures and $5 off of 2 Ghostbusters – more if you consider the prices were bumped up from $20 to $22 this year.
For the Masters of the Universe Classics figures, I wonder how long these will manage to stay in stock – a month seems like a long time. If they do manage to last it out, then I suppose Mattel has got a lot of inventory of the figures they decided to keep in stock all the time, like He-Man and Skeletor. And I’m still confused about the concept of day of stock and reserve stock – I don’t know if variant figures like Battle Armor Skeletor and Hordak were overproduced, because they sold out just like all the rest of them, or if there’s just a lot of figures left that were held in reserve for defects / replacement.
And Ghostbusters… with the subscription not moving forward this line suffered a long and slow end. I wonder if the performance of Ghostbusters has had anything to do with why we haven’t seen a figure line for Back to the Future. But then, we’re talking about a limited cast with characters that have even less potential for reuse. Still, it makes you wonder how NECA can keep churning out Predators.
Who knows? Maybe BTTF will be the surprise this coming Toy Fair. Anyways, happy shopping!
For the life of me, I could not find a way to get to Sideshow’s Black Friday Deals Week page from their home page, but I was clicking around today doing lazy Cyber Monday shopping and finally found it.
I somehow missed this Facebook update from the Four Horsemen on Thanksgiving, but if you’re a fan, you can still take advantage of this free shipping deal through the end of today. It covers all items at the StoreHorsemen.com, including the latest Outer Space Men pre-order and the Fantastic Exclusives still in stock, like the Scarabus busts and figures from Gothitropolis and Queen Alluxandra from Seventh Kingdom. Enjoy!
