Please pm me if you are already planning on going and could pick one up for me. I live in Northern California and would totally appreciate it. Hope to hear from someone, thanks.

Dude if I were you I'd WALK to San Diego. I live in east TN and am thinking about doing it from here. LOL! These things are awesome! I actually will be at Heroescon next month and I really think I will see a set of them there. I am actually thinking about selling my Wind Waker Wii U with Mario 3d World and Smash Bros to get money to buy these with. I want them THAT bad and since Zelda is not for another year and is gonna be on NX anyway I might just do that to get my hands on these. I could probably get a pretty penny for that system with those games. Sacrifices and choices. Oh what do I do?

And then what? I assume a part of that plan is to buy a valid ticket to SDCC, since you can't buy a set without proper verification.

Or are you gonna holler every SDCC attendee carrying their sets?

They could also try actually accommodating the collector market themselves, which would shut the issue down almost entirely. They keep re-releasing the 80's figures and labeling them as collector figures, but skip half the paint apps. They also released that History of Leonardo collector set for $100, but again there were missing paint apps and the Movie Star Leo doesn't even have his belt. It's frustrating because the sculpting has always been on point with Playmates, but they are getting so stingy with the paint that the figures are beginning to look like Happy Meal toys from the 1990's. Collectors aren't going to buy that.

I'd rather pay $25 for a well painted figure than $10 for a crappy looking one, and I know I'm not alone there. Heck, they could re-release a bunch of the Nick Turtles figures with fully painted sculpts and sell them at twice the cost, and collectors would eat them up. They just don't seem willing to try and appease that market, but they sure are quick to shut down anyone else who may.

I decided to drop a deposit on one of each set.
Quoted $100US per set.

Yeah I think I could get a pretty good amount for that and would probably be able to buy both sets. I mean the new Zelda is a NX launch title anyway and apparently so is Smash Bros so I would probably be getting it at launch anyway and it's still a year away. So I know there won't be a new Wii U must have in the meantime so it would sorta be like I was borrowing the money from myself to get the toys since I would be getting rid of my Wii U next year anyway. I still just like the feeling of knowing I HAVE my Wii U. LOL! The irony is I pretty much exclusively play my XB1 though and never my PS4. I just want The Last Guardian and that's why I'm holding on to it. At this point it's just a machine I have that plays Bloodborne and nothing else. With either of those I'd be able to afford the toys though.

Pretty sure that can't be right since these don't come out until the con in July and wholesalers don't have access to these any more than the general public (at least not a discounted price). I hope you know this person otherwise they are likely trying to rip you off.

how did you get both sets for 50? they are gonna bee 100 at SDCC so whoever is getting them is losing out

*DVD* · 05-28-2016, 08:43 PM

Hey, it's me. I don't get ripped off, and, where do you think these sets are right now ?
I just didn't expect to be offered these sets so I'm pretty pleased about it.

I shouldn't disbelieve me: I have been propping up prerelease pictures for a couple years now. It's not my style to lie about something.

He's at the source

usually gets ahold of stuff long before we do in the states

You're right -- they're not willing. Their job is to market to children, and that doesn't seem likely to change.

*DVD* · 05-29-2016, 04:51 AM

I firgot I had these. A comic store in Glasgow that I went in to last year.. I tried to buy it, but it wasn't for sale !

Aren't Hasbro and Mattel's primary jobs to market to kids? And yet, they still put out Marvel Legends and DC Multiverse figures for adult collectors on a regular release schedule.

My point still stands, if they want to monopolize the collector market, they need to actually contribute to it. Otherwise, get the hell out of the way and just focus on the kids lines.

I believe you, any chance you can share the source?
