So i just recently got into mythic legions, and been on lots of FB,Instagram, Forum and boards etc. When they have like a sales post like people who already have that character always snatch it up again and again, not giving people who don't have the character a chance to get it. Then post pics of multiples of the same. For example there is a character called Baron Volligar, a black knight character whos a vampire. I tried to get it but then this guy who already has several in his collection, bought it before i could, and every time they post another they get snatched up by people who already own multiples. In all the toy lines i never encountered this where people who already have a ton of the same figure keep buying and buying them leaving new comers in the dust. Its really frustrating trying to get figures from the line, they are amongst the greediest collecters, who don't give the small guys a chance to get anything. So whats the deal, why they greed? if they have 10 or so of the same, why can't the let others get a chance to buy them?.

Is anyone familiar with He-man.org? Strange thing happen when i was browsing looking at latest news on figures and surfing through the forum, suddenly it got slow and i refreshed the page and some strange ad for gift cards poped up. I can't see the website no more. I tried looking at it through 2 different browsers and also on my phone. I wonder what happened to the website? or if it just my browsers. Its like a fishy unsecure thing pops up about gift cards, its really unsettling

I wish another toy company would get the license and pick up were jakks left off that way to have a cheaper alternative to S.H figuarts thats now like 50-60 bucks a pop Well, Bandai America is going to be putting out DBZ figures this year sometime, and they'll be basically the same price as Marvel Legends. They'll be equivalent to the Power Rangers Legacy figures that are out now, if you've seen those. There's a thread about them here if you haven't seen it. That is splendid News. Hope i get a chance to get them considering all the scalpers in my area. Hopefully they release these in big abundance. I really want Beerus !

I'm so tired of chibi figures, they're just ugly imo. I honestly don't even understand the appeal, the Funko POPs are the worst though, they don't even resemble the characters. Why do people want figures with heads that are bigger than their bodies? I'm also super tired of DBZ figures being so expensive, it's ridiculous. Growing up I could go to Walmart, Target, Kmart, GameXChange, Game Stop, Toys R Us, or even fast food places like Burger King and Wendy's and get cool DBZ toys for reasonable prices. Now, I have to go on auction sites to get DBZ stuff for decent prices and then there's shipping and handling to worry about. I wish being a Dragon Ball figure collector wasn't so hard in America. I couldn't agree with you more. I too am not a big fan of Chibis/deformed figures, they are not much fun and are a bit lame. I only bought a cell funko due to the fact it was on sale a wile back. I Miss going to babbages and same goodys and toys r us and geting DBZ toys for 5.99, 6.99. Its not Just DBZ that is very expensive Look at the Marvel Legends, Back in the day those type of figures were around 5 bucks or so growing up now they are like 20 and have gone down in quality. So basically paying 20 bucks for a 5 dollar figure, most are sloppy and reuse the same buck so you get other charecters with a peg hole in the back that's meant for a captain america sheld on the mold. I actaully haven't even seen anymore at the stores which is very sad. The S.H Figuarts have gotten very pricy now a days. I miss the Irwin and Jakks figures, I wish another toy company would get the license and pick up were jakks left off that way to have a cheaper alternative to S.H figuarts thats now like 50-60 bucks a pop

they had like two big boxes of the DBZ Loyal subjects and another two for the MOTU at walmart. I was going to get some but they rang up 12.99 each and thought it was to expensive for these type of figures. But when i went back a few days later to look for something else and noticed all the boxes were sold out. I honestly think 12.99 is way to much for a mystery figure and these don't really appeal much, they come off as cheapy looking. But saw On instagram pages that people are selling them for ridiculous amounts. Saw Trunks being sold for 200 bucks and a frieza for 50 lol

I know this is super random, But if they ever make a new He-man Masters of the Universe Movie, wouldn't it be awesome if William Dafoe got casted as Skeletor? I think he'd be perfect for the role and would probably do a very good job at being Skeletor. Just something about him and his voice makes me feel he'd be a very good contender for skeletor

I can sometimes understand a figure getting a second chance, but Jyn and Andor got re-leased in 3 different waves, which kinda seems crazy because of how they are not army builders or didn't do too well the first time around. In one gameStop they had Jyn on clarence already for 10.99. Toys r us in my area was already over flowing, another wave with More Jyns and Andors, They will probabbly be sitting there till next December. I am afraid that with stores over stocked with these we won't get to see wave 9 in and that it will be skipped.

One thing i do not understand about the newer black series waves is that why on earth dose Rogue one wave 7,8 and 10 all have Jyn and captain cassian andor. These figures are peg warmers already. Why dose hasbro keep re-releasing them in each new wave if these two are poor sellers already?! Why can't they just do that with the at-at driver and snowtrooper since those are impossible to find or at least re-lease different characters in the waves. Everywhere i got there are fully Stocked with Jyns and Captain Andors, its annoying that they are going to release them again in wave 10, i feel they are kinda wasting spots in the other waves

I bought this the other day, I know the Egyptian Pounds are not worth nearly what they are selling them for but i can't find them anywhere else so i had to pay way over the actual value

Yeah, signature confirmation is usually the best thing you should make sure to be able to ask for. Glad you're still able to get your stuff. Definitely +1 them in the feedback thread if you haven't already. sorry for the late reply, will do for sure. They went above and beyond during the whole situation, their customer service is amazing

Did you try inquiring with the post office? Yea, i contracted them this morning, what they told me was pretty alarming, They told me that there has been reports of people following the mail trucks and waiting till they leave then raiding the front and mailbox for packages, paychecks etc. I even contacted the andews police department and tried to file a police report. Its very sad that people just go around and steal packages without even knowing whats inside. I never thought that sort of thing would happen to me. The majority of things i buy are online and never really ran into that sort of problem. Lukily Dorksidetoys was able to understand my predicament and they let me know they were sending me another case, with signature confirmation this time. I feel very relived. But also afraid of not being home when ordering in the future

So about a couple months ago i Pre-ordered the Star wars black series wave 5 for around 125 bucks. After a wile i wondered why it has not shipped, later i asked dorksidetoys about my order this weekend, they provided me a tracking number and said my order was shipped sure enough it said it was delivered to the front porch...but i never did get the package even thought the tracking showed it was delivered. :/ this is the first time it has ever happened to me and the most valuable amount of merchandise i ever had lost/missing. It included a captain phasma,Jango fett, Force awakens Han Solo, Two flame troopers. I was very exited about this pre order. Its a big mystery what happened to the package, this has me very bummed :/ 125 lost. Wish there was something i could do. Its a terrible feeling waiting for something only to find out something like this had happened
