    Green Arrow arrived me in Italy

    Today, after two months, it's arrived to me the Mattel Retro Action Green Arrow from MattyCollector!
    I'm really happy, and I must tell it's made really well. I love it!
    There's only a question I've about the shipment: I've seen in the box of shipment it comes from New Zealand...is it correct or is it strange?
    This is the reason of two months shipment time.
    But now I've another question:
    where can I buy the other 4 figures?

    Maybe New Zealand was a stop-off check point on it's way ? ... Seems weird though because a shipment from USA to Italia should go straight over the Atlantic to Europe.

      Not so strange.
      Thomas and I ordered two Green Arrows from Doc, which, presumably, went from the US to Europe.
      Nope.
      It took quite a while to get them, but they just arrived, sporting a label from the customs offices of....El Salvador....

      What's wrong with these Green Arrows?
      They go on a world tour first????

          im in the uk... few days shipping to italy int recorded

          i have the retro action figures on there way to me as we speak from wholesale

          heres a link to my site but dont worry i will give you a discount for being here on MM and free shipping


          DC Retro Action Figures : 80s Toyshop, Vintage Collectable Toys

          there are other sites and ebay.US you can buy them from but do the math... by the time you put on the ridiculas shipping and handling... possible customs on top of that my prices are worthy

                It would appear that Mattycollector uses some round-about methods to keep their shipping on the cheaper side...

                    It's to substitute for the traveling Megos that got lost this year
                    It's all good!

                      Air mail

                      It's not mattycollector - it's the USPS air mail. I ship outside the U.S. via
                      air mail all the time - sometimes it arrives in a week, sometimes it takes
                      almost six weeks.

                      The pieces have to be sorted by hand, so if the guy doing it puts the
                      package in the wrong bin, it will have to be caught at that location and
                      sent back through the system.
