Topps Mego Monday Thread

I can't get them to answer their phone. 30 minutes of waiting and I moved no further in their queue than I started at.

What number in queue are you?

Thanks Lonnie for posting the pic. I was trying to post and couldn’t get it to.

[LonnieFisher]

Didn't think I'd be seeing something like this.

It may have to be due to the huge outages on Facebook and Instagram. They may also be affected by the outages or they are wanting to wait so people do not miss out since usually they go to the FB group for the announcements.

[askzak70]

Oh well, it was good run while it lasted! Could this signal the end???

[LonnieFisher]

There isn't an overlap, and the new figures are still not showing up. They should have been revealed over an hour ago.

[DC_Guy]

I'm still not seeing any new figures for this week. Anybody know what's going on?

[askzak70]

I agree 100%! Really greedy. I was wanting to take advantage of the overlap and delayed in purchasing the POTA Brent/Mutant with the following week. Save on some shipping expence. I thought TOPPS might actually be listening and caring about their fan base? However, if TOPPS removed the overlap in purchasing (not being able to ship double week’s product) that will cause me to be more selective in my future purchasing and TOPPS will lose some future purchasing from me (just the facts-not whining or complaining). I will not be adding POTT Brent and Mutant to my collection!

It does no cost that much to ship items to Canada. I live in Canada and I order many items online whether it's through eBay, ZLC and even private sellers (many of them Mego figures or even larger items), and I have never had to pay such ridiculous shipping feels. Surely a big company like Topps can figure it out if these smaller companies and independent sellers are having no issues. Topps just doesn't seem to want Canadian collectors' business.

if that's what they did and why they did it, that's pretty s*h*i*t*t*y. that's a sure fired way to alienate your customer base

[Retro76]

Looks like they have closed the weekly figures overlap for combined shipping loophole, LOL.

[Brown Bear]

Here's the customer service response I received from Topps, justifying $60 to ship one figure to Canada. So much for that.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Topps Customer Service. The prices are as listed to reflect the cost of shipping. Unfortunately, the prices have dramatically increased to ship to Canada.
Best regards,
Lori
Customer Service Representative

are they not dropping new figures until the current one ends now? what, did they hear people were starting to bundle to save on shipping and decide to nix that?

[MysteryWho]

I'm all in this week. I was fretting whether to get two or three Brents, just cause I was going to make a slave Brent (and it makes the shipping easier to swallow). But it seems like all I have to do is take his clothes off and throw on a loincloth. So maybe it ain't necessary to get three. Actually, there is a problem I just realized. The Mego body won't be tan enough! Brent had a crazy surfer tan, which is strange since he had been in a spaceship for presumably six months or more if they were following Taylor's trajectory. Oh wait, I got it. Those beds with the sliding doors were also for tanning. They would need the vitamin D in space!
