      I never noticed that, I wonder when they will actually ship to Amazon customers that actually pre ordered them like I did?
      I wonder if my estimate ship date will bump up then?
      I haven't been charged anything yet, soooo the wait starts.

        I gave in and ordered a set. Since Doc placed an order I figured that the seller was not selling hot property and my credit card will protect me if it is a scam. In addition the price is not too far off, so why not. I will let everyone know when they come in, or if they come in.

          I hope these suits don't pill up the second you touch them like Green Arrow does, do you think this issue will be fixed by changing to a better material in future releases?

            I have striped out about five production Green Arrows to date, either for my own
            amusement or with friends, and I have not noticed the pilling you mention.

            Can you post pictures of what happens?

                It gets tiny little runs that ball up. Mine did it too, and I finally figured out it was my skin causing it. I get dry skin in the winter, and the extra bit of roughness on my hands kept catching on the fine weave of the fabric, almost like velcro. I have to wear latex gloves or not mess with my GA til spring when my hands aren't all dry. Never been a problem with regular Mego clothes, but they are a thicker weave.

                To show you what it looks like, I'd have to mess up my GA suit more. I've carefully trimmed all the ones off I caused, and after wetting the fabric and massaging it a little, they've blended back in so that they're hard to see.

                    Lotta Megos didn't come with accessories, why do the Mattels have to come with accessories? They'll do it if it makes sense, but adding an accessory for the sake of it, is pointless and a waste of money

                      Having accessories for all but one of the figures is just dumb in my opinion. I'm sorry you can't see any accessory worthy of coming with superman. I can think of lots and lots of them. So superman will never be safe from Lex with the green kryptonite. Sucks for him. He'll be dead before he reaches the stores. It makes no sense to a kid that his figure doesn't have a little toy for him to use when the other figures would have come with one. Parents will buy a toy with accessories before a toy without. More for their money...and more toy for the kid. Think about it, from a child and parent points of view.

                          I like the oven mitts, part of the Mego charm. On the Mattels, I just think the glove tops look too bulky.

                            Batman on the other hand should come with a Batarang for instance

                              That's is exactly what was happening with mine. Within 30 seconds I was getting little pills when I handled him, needless to say I was a little ****ed.
