Well, thanks to the Topps partnership, I'm officially out.

[ToyTalk]

Or maybe Topps brought down the whole internet just so they could double charge people for shipping... did you ever think of that!?

As it turns out, Topps may have been affected by the internet outages this morning.

Yeah i passed on the POTA figures as well since I couldn't see what was coming next. I guess this confirms that TOPPS wants to keep the excessive shipping. Too bad :(

I overlapped orders two weeks ago, but I’m sure it screws up their shipping process.

[Goblin19]

Oh well, was waiting to see today’s to determine whether I would order the POTA guys. I had definitely decided to only get them if I liked this week’s offerings.

[Nostalgiabuff]

yeah, i guess the greed on the overpriced shipping is getting the better of them. that's really rotten

[VulcansFury]

So, looks like NO overlapping today! Less than 30min to go on Brent & Mutant Leader and this weeks new figures arent up yet. Guess they didnt want people combining shipping this week

[The Batman Professor]

Yay, another $54.00 cast into the wishing well. Counting the days until February…

Batman, Apes and Monsters cannot be denied.

[VulcansFury]

Not to step on any toes, but if I'd missed Kor I'd buy an extra Kang and wait for a recaster...

[Goblin19]

I’m starting to base my purchases on this concept. If I really want it, I’ll get it from Topps. If I’m on the fence, I’ll pass and hope they release the character in a different outfit or some other tweaks. Willing to take the chance on certain figures.

[Mego Magyar]

I believe this also, there are a lot of details that Mego, or any company really, cannot reveal about future plans. I think the people at Mego have a good idea of what we as consumers want and do listen to our feedback, but can't always spill the beans even if they have a plan to satisfy our concerns.

So then you're saying when the powers that be at Mego says that these figures won't be released again in the future they're lying or miss leading us? If they do at some point release them again they'll **** of anyone that paid more and bought them through Topps.

It also doesn't help that my collectable money was cut in half to include what my boyfriend wants to add to his wall of collectables (usually K-Boys merchandise)

[Goblin19]

You sound kind of like me. The glut (which is a good thing) of product has made me reassess what I am going to buy. The higher price on Topps stuff isn’t a deal breaker but does make me not get figures I would at a lower price (Green Arrow, for instance). I did get the first POTA figures and am on the fence for this week’s set. It’s no different than FTC for me. Their price point made me start to pick and choose what I actually buy, where if they were cheaper, I would buy most superheroes.

Those days are long gone for me, which isn’t a bad thing. I also just choose to try to do different things with my collecting and it has allowed me to hone my collection a bit and give me bit more focus.
