Wow, that’s annoying. Wish I would have held off picking up all those extras for customizing. Man, I hate [Mattel](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/mattel). Good for anyone still looking to complete their collections though. ---

I’m debating. With shipping and tax that’s still $100 for only six figures. ---

[Mattel](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/mattel) are taking the p\*\*\* Am I not the only one who paid full price for these when they were individually released? They list on the site as sold out then all of a sudden they have more and sell them heavily discounted. Joke. If I had know this I would have saved my cash and bought now. Not to mention the customs charges I have paid which would have been far less. What a way to treat loyal customers ---

So… let me get this straight. You guys are ■■■■■■ at them for having a sale? On things that came out months ago? I just gotta know… ate there angry mobs with pitchforks and torches that storm best buys and such when they have sales? Sent from my DROID X2 using Ghostbusters Fans on Android ---

Includes limited-run items, San Diego Comic-Con exclusives, and other products. So when you see the figures selling out, and each one says it’s not going to be released again, it is frustrating to see them re-release it for 40% off, and the ability to order all items at once and save on shipping. Mattel should be more upfront about the items, and just say that they’re not Sold Out forever. ---

The thing that bugs me about the sale is that it really wasn’t billed as a ‘Clearance Sale.’ As I understood it, the sale would be for a couple weeks, select figures would be 20% off and you’d get to combine shipping. Had they said from the get-go that this was going to be a Spooktacular Clearance Event, I think some of us may have gambled and waited just to see if the prices would go down, since we’re all familiar with how clearance sales at Best Buy, Target, etc have worked in the past. So no, not ■■■■■■, just tired of [Mattel](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/mattel). lol ---

> [@zeta otaku](#): > > I just gotta know… are there angry mobs with pitchforks and torches that storm best buys and such when they have sales? I agree with your post completely, I just thought I’d mention I worked for Best Buy a while back, as well as other retailers, and YES, you would be surprised at what some customers think they are entitled to. And there’s not a retailer in the world that says “hey, don’t buy these 'cause they might be cheaper next week.” Not one that stays in business anyway. ---
