Too Good to Be True? Matty's GB 2-Pack pricing.

Matty has done a piss poor job of taking care of this license. I will not be buying any more figures from them. I have all the figures up to now, but will be passing on these rehash figures that should have been made in the first place.

Then yea, that’s a bit frustrating.

Damnit! What pre sale?

If you purchased one of Matty’s subscriptions, you are eligible to make your purchase a few days before the “regular” sale. Their Ghostbusters merchandise hasn’t had a sub since they declared the line unprofitable 2 year ago, but other subscriptions allow you to buy whatever you want before the unwashed masses get to the gate.

Oh, that pre sale. Thanks for clarifying. I don’t want any of their other stuff.

$50? Mattycollector can kiss the fattest part of my ass. I’ll just wait til they drop at Big Lots for $20.

While I’d wish for that also, I doubt it’ll happen this time around. Bet they learned there lesson from the other stuff.

Good luck with that kiss and the wait. I took this from the Matty forum:

"Toyguru - Collector Supreme - posted July 20, 2014 07:16 PM

There will never be additional Matty items sold at retail like big lots. This was a one time deal to liquidate pre 2012 product. Productions runs since 2012 Have been reduced to avoid situations like this ever happening again. "

Kinda sounds like he got this speech from Louis Tulley.

I just wonder if matty will make them pay the full price, either through shipping or some other means.

Love this post on the matty forums:

Ugh Toyguru can shove off. He is awful.

You’ll have the chance to pay the intended amount?!

F U Matty. You screwed up, you got to sell it to them at that price.

They screw up all the time and they have no problems blaming the collectors. They blamed all of us who spent hundreds of dollars on their GB toys for their failure to get the ecto-1 made.

People need to read that post from the Matty forums more carefully. It’s not actually written by toyguru. It’s someone suggesting what he might say.

As of yet, they haven’t told anyone about adjusting the price if they actually ordered it at the lower price I believe.

Oh crap, what the Hell did I start?

Nothing. No worries.

In just ordered mine, again, because I wasn’t around when the originals came out.

Shipping to Canada was only $20. Not bad actually. And I hate to say but, cheaper than what I usually have to pay when I order from the GBFans store.

Doesn’t mean I won’t have a charge at the door.

I don’t think that’s a fair comparison to make.

I just looked it up and they aren’t using any of the major carriers, there is no tracking and it says 10-20 business days for delivery. Comparison with even the cheapest method with USPS (which would cost about $25-$30) would have tracking and be delivered much sooner.

I’m not trying to start shit, and I don’t know who they are shipping with. All I can see is the price. I also can see that the gbfans shipping price and yes it has a tracking number which is very nice. And like I said, I’ll most likely get hit with charges at the door.

I’m sure the gbfans shop is busy, but in comparison for dates, an order I placed on Aug 26, didn’t ship out until sept 8. Then the long trek on dog sled to make it here. :wink: (which shoul be today). And yes there was a cable that said it needed 3 days to make if I remember correctly but the estimated shipping date was much sooner. Stuff happens. Whatever. I still need the stuff and I’ll still pay it. And for anyone reading, this is regular not expedited.

I know we’re not comparing apples to apples, so AJ I apologize I ruffled your feathers. This is just something we have to deal with shipping up here. It just means, I have to be strategic on orders to maximize value of the shipping costs and delivery times. That is all.

And don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll be back to complains about extra charges when it arrives. :slight_smile:

Again.

Can’t see the relevancy in comparing a company that ships 30 million packages per year with 1200 employees to a company that ships significantly less and has 1.

And yes. Your order had a special order item… and it’s Halloween.
