Green Arrow almost sold out!

[Orion]

Gone, GA is gone

Wow - so mattycollector wasn't kidding yesterday when they said to grab them while they were still available. That seems like a good sign to sell out this quickly.

I would love to know the actual production number too.

They are actually gone!!! I placed an order yesterday for a couple more and got them today!!!

[jayihdz]

Oh, no, another dead superhero!

Don't worry, he'll be resurrected in a couple of years to boost sales....

and do what?? a red version???

[AUSSIE-Rebooted-AMM]

I have sent out 10 Green Arrows already, and not one outside the U.S. yet.

The shipping charge for one outside the U.S. via air mail is $15.00 for one
figure, $24.00 for two, and $28.00 for three. You can just Paypal me
at [email protected] instead of going through my U.S. centric shopping
cart software.

Well. . . .Now you got Belgium and Australia on your international sales list!

Why?

I am curious - what would you do with that information? What would
the number mean to you?

My partner Joe said in another thread that it was a respectable amount
of figures made based on what we know of production runs of similar
figures in larger and smaller formats.

I am genuinely interested to understand what impact the production
run number has.

I would love to know the actual production number too.

It has been my experience with such things that people want the number to be small so they know they own a rare item......"millions of people in the world who would own such an item with only 1...2...3 thousand made and I own one of them".... for instance.This may be the case with GA or it may be that people want to know if a large number was produced and sold out quickly so that these new figures will have a bright future in the cards.

Thanks for the explanation - I can't tell you the number because
production runs are closely guarded secrets in the toy business.

I would love it if Mattel did go back for a re-order, because I
believe that many more people who buy them, but it's not my
money on the line if Mattel gets stuck with a lot of unsolds.

In this particular case it's option #2. I don't think anyone here cares about owning a rare brand new toy, most were bought to be played with anyway, so rarity doesn't matter in this case.
