    For the Masters of the Universe figures, I always choose regular ground shipping. They usually ship my figure out within' a day or two. It usually takes me a week to get the figure. They ship from CA, and I am in IL. A lot of people closer to CA get their figures before me. I figure once I order mine on the 15th, I will probably get it around the 22nd or 23rd, unless there is a Holiday delay. I would say that anyone in the US that orders on the 15th will most likely get him by Christmas, even if choosing ground shipping.

      The only thing that continues to thus far sell out on a Regular Basis is the MOTU ... With really only a figure here or there of the other lines, outside of the origional offering(s) at San DCC 2008 ... Where Lobo the Cars pack and Giganta was offered... But even Giganta was on the site for Months before she did sell out. I think thus far she has been the only JLU Figure that has sold out,.. but have not been back to the site since the sale for all things DC Happened. So..., I dunno.

        True, JLU has stayed around, but some of that is due to the characters they've produced and the cost of a set w/shipping. The MEGO Green Arrow will probably be around for a bit too, but I would also think the numbers produced are way lower for GA than what they did on the JLU sets.

          Corrected legs? Not sure what this is referring to- I must have missed something amongst all the excitement over these... what's up with the legs?

              Right. You know damn well some wiseass will buy up a bunch of these off matty collector and jack the price up a bit and sell them on eBay. Happens all the time.

              Personally, I have this sneaking suspicion that Matty collector is not going to have enough of these and they will run out. Hopefully that is just my paranoia talking.

                Oh, that... Actually, when I saw the pics linked to in that thread, I thought it was largely because of the packaging. If you look at the figure while it's still in the card (assuming it's the same one), you can see that he's packed in there funny with his leg wedged all funny... I bet that if you land one that isn't in there funny like that, it's nowhere near as bad.

                      I am so excited by the prospect of walking into a Toys "R" Us and finding a MOC 8" DC Super-Hero figure — brand-new — just waiting to be picked off the peg-hanger by me. Don't even need my mother to pay for it, this time around.

                      But, oh, what I would *give* for these to be exclusive to Kmart. The circuitous romance of it all would put stars in my eyes.

                        This may have been covered elsewhere, but will these be up on the site at the stroke of midnite on the 15th?

                          Dr. MEGO mentioned the legs would be "corrected" or, better than now, on future shipments.

                          How much better we shall see.

                                While I want to buy at least one of each of these, including Green Arrow from Matty Collector... I have multiple Green Arrows.... I have multiple Supes.

                                I am more worried about my local Toys-R-Us stocking Sinestro, Luthor, Green Lantern in a timely enough manner for me to "lay hands" on them.
