MattyCollector.com has just released three items as part of their December 2011 sale! Be prepared to spend $260 to get every item today!
As cool as it would be, I just can’t shell out the cash right now. Besides, I barely have room for the 12 inch one I have now! Alas…
Just shelled out on both 12" double packs. Ouch!! This on top of my subscription Vigo figure with shipping to the uk hurt my wallet. Should be worth it though, the 12" figures look amazing. Love the packaging and slime blowers.
I also considered buying them.
But given MattyCollectors sales in the past, I think I’ll wait until they are marked down to $50 each.
Yeah the 60% off last time was a pretty good deal. I was able to pick up everything I had missed up to that point. I agree, best to wait.
I too am going to take my chances and wait and see if these go on sale in the future.
I’d rather save my money for future props…that is if they make any more gb props.
296.30 for the 1 of each 2-pack and 2 vigos.
SIGH
Just 1 Vigo for me.
I might have given in for at least 1 of the 2-packs, but only one of each of the uniforms? I’ll wait for an eventual sale later on.
I had to have it all…and I regret nothing! Hope Matty restocks more items again soon.
I’ll wait for a sale on this one; I just don’t have the spare cash for the 12" at full price right now.
Ordered Vigo!!!
But the 12" GB2 2-packs…well as much as these are what I’ve been waiting for and the long wait it has been for these and I can’t wait to have them, PASS! These are not going to be big sellers at this price and as history has shown, these are going to go on sale for sure…multiple times. Why throw the money away when patience will pay off.
Matty doesn’t really work that way. The items they claim are out of stock, are just items they don’t want to sell right now. This causes an inflated sense of demand, which drives prices up on the secondary market. Then… occasionally during sale events they will sell the items at a discount. The discount compared to the secondary market makes it appear to be a good value… so people jump on it.
Only a few items are legitimately ‘Sold Out’.
This doesn’t just apply to MattyCollector, but most retail outlets selling what are perceived as ‘rare’ items.
Yeah I figured as much. I guess I should say I hope they’re ‘in stock’ soon as in willing to sell to me. I want a PKE meter but I’m not spending double to original price on ebay. Very frustrating. Any idea when they ‘randomly’ decide to have items in stock again? 
or is it just that? Totally random?
Well.
The PKE Meter is one of those items that are legitimately out of stock.
Items have been re-released during the following times:
-
Mad Matty Monday / Mystery Box (Random Mondays)
-
Halloween Ghostbusters Sale (Late October)
-
Black Friday / Cyber Monday (Late November)
Since they have been creating new sales events recently, I’m sure we will see some kind of sale in the Spring / Summer next year.
The PKE Meter could be re-released… but it has been said that the only way for that to happen is for Ghostbusters 3 to come out. Then you would likely see the PKE Meter on store shelves at Toys R Us and other places.
Ditto.
the Vigo from my sub just shipped today, so Im hoping it will get here before christmas so I can give it to my nephew, and the one I ordered yesterday (prob. wont get it until closer to new years) I will keep for myself.
Does the slime blower light up?
The lights do.
my tracking info says I should get my sub Vigo by the end of the day on thursday 12/22 and the Vigo I ordered on sale day s/b here by end of day friday 12/23, cutting it close… I dont even know if we are open either of those days. guess i’ll be sitting in my car out front waiting for the ups guy!
