In my haste this morning, I mistakenly posted that Trap Jaw, not Tri-Klops, would be on sale at C2E2 – thanks to all of you who contacted me to alert me of my error.
If you missed out on your chance at the Masters of the Universe Classics Tri-Klops (see my review), you may not have to resort to eBay
or wait for Mattel to reissue him. Residents of the Chicago area will have a chance to pick up Tri-Klops from Mattel at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, which runs from April 16 – 18.
They’ll also have another sold out item, Ghostbuster’s Ray Stantz (see my review), available. Both items will be in limited quantities, so stop at Mattel first!
Mattel Display at Chicago Comic Expo & Reserve Products For Sale
Toy Fans,
As you know, we hold back product from sales in “reserve” to replace damaged or lost product. After enough time has passed, the product isn’t needed any longer so we’ve decided to start offering that product to you. We’ll begin selling it at various conventions around the country and eventually offer some here at MattyCollector.com.
The first offering will be limited quantities of Ghostbusters™ 6″ Ray Stanz™ and Masters of the Universe® Classics Tri-Klops® figures in April. You’ll find them for sale at the convention sales desk at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) show running April 16-18.
Even if you’re not in the market for these figures, be sure to stop by the Mattel display. MOTU fans will find favorites like Count Marzo™, Gygor™, Tytus™, Keldor™, Whiplash™, Optikk™, and more! And if you dig DC, don’t miss the Wave 14 figures, Lobo, and Waves 1 and 2 of the Retro-Action™ line. Plus, a spirited Ghostbusters™ collection will be on hand.
That’s just a taste of some of the hot toys you can expect to see. So remember, if you’re in the Chicago area April 16-18, stop by the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo and tell ‘em Matty sent you!

P.S. Please don’t call Digital River asking to purchase the product. It will only be sold as described above.
via MattyCollector.com Online Store.
. If you’re not familiar with these, a Marvel Omnibus is a hardcover collection of seminal runs of comics, in color, often with the original letter pages intact. These typically run between $60 to $100 online, so I don’t expect these to stay in stock for long.
