Doc, out of interest will u be selling these on your site?

[steshell]

Will these be available in UK?
I'd love a few sets but shipping/custom charges are very high.

I'm pretty sure he does get wholesale prices from EE. If not, then close to it. I know in the past he's been able to buy in bulk from EE (usually their exclusives) and then share their price point with no additional mark-up.

[60'schild]

Well, he could, but it wouldn't be the best business move as he wouldn't be getting wholesale prices, and his profit margin would be less per unit. Having a Mattel account is the only way to really sell these at a competitive price point.

True. And given the usual prices at BBTS and EE, I would hate to see Rick use them as make-shift wholesalers... not counting when he would add HIS markup (profit margin). If that was the case, I'd just go with BBTS (which is what I am planning to do... unless Mattycollector starts offering them later at a better rate).

[geoffdude]

Technically he wouldn't need to re-open his Mattel account to offer; he could just buy a sizeable allotment from EE or BBTS or whoever and then offer them up on his site.. much like he did with EMCE Khan and many other items over the years..

I guess we will have to wait and see if this happens.

[60'schild]

Really? That's definitely a change from what he posted here earlier... interesting.

[toyman]

I contacted him and he said to watch for them on his site.

[60'schild]

Same here,i am waiting to see when NEWFORCE will announce they are accepting preorders,i have had great experiences ordering from them and DOC MEGO.

I believe Rick already said that he terminated his dealer status with Mattel a couple of years ago (and didn't give any indication that status would be changing).

It's tempting to pre-order these but i am going to hold out,as i am hoping Toy's R Us UK will be stocking these.

Big Bad toystore

I have had good luck with this toy store. If they are doing pre-orders they must have recieved an invoice to order from Mattel. I thought these were going to be exclusive to Toys R Us ? It seems Mattel is aiming these to collectors. I am really hoping these figures become mainstream. Any news yet on other characters being made. Any news of the Star Trek line or Planet of the Apes?
