Get Hot Toys Iron Monger and More for 25% Off with Free Shipping at the Marvel Store
From today through Monday 2/18, you can get 25% off your order at the Marvel Store, using the MARVELPAL promotion code. In combination with SUPERSHIP for free shipping (for orders over $50), that means an exceptional deal on the Hot Toys Iron Monger.
Listed at $479.50, using both codes you’d pay just under $360 (saving almost $120.) I’ve seen just one Iron Monger go for lower on eBay – they have been selling on eBay at $400 and up, and with Hot Toys you can expect the aftermarket to continue to rise. Most auctions are starting above list price now. Don’t miss out on this deal!
Masters of the Universe Classics Castle Grayskull and Club Filmation Pre-Orders Open Now and Ram Man and Jitsu on Sale 2/15
As if the February sale wasn’t already big enough, with the Masters of the Universe Classics Ram Man pushed from January and pimp-handed Jitsu going on sale – Mattel has also re-opened pre-orders on Castle Grayskull and started taking pre-orders for the new 6 figure subscription for MOTUC Filmation characters. There’s so much going on with Masters that it’s almost an afterthought that DC Universe Classics Phantom Stranger is also going on sale tomorrow.
Icer, Shakoti, and Batros were revealed as the Filmation subscriptions first three figures, for July, August, and September respectively. And hoping that the reveal of Castle Grayskull would be enough to motivate folks still on the edge, Mattel re-opened the pre-order page for another go. However, they’ve increased the price to $275, with the warning that there may not even be a day-of sale – and if there is, the price could be bumped up again.
By now I’m desensitized to the scare tactics Mattel uses in its marketing, but let me ask you this – wouldn’t it be better if they pitched it as a discount to people who pre-order, vs a punishment to those who wait for the day-of sale? C’mon, Mattel – positive reinforcement makes for a much more pleasant sales experience.
