Mattel WWE On Sale at Toys R Us

To promote the launch of the new line, Toys R Us is offering a $10 off savings on any Mattel WWE purchases of $40 or over.  That sale also is offered online, and most items are in stock, including the Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix 2-pack – I’ve seen a few people mention they’ve not been able to find this short-packed set in stores.

Masters of the Universe Classics Adora, Battle Armor He-Man, and More on Sale January 15

I know I keep saying that I want Mattel and Digital River to give us the ability to combine our Club Eternia purchases with  our other purchases, because I’m really tired of the multiple shipping charges.  So let me try this another way – how many people didn’t pick up Club Eternia because they didn’t want to get penalized?  How many Club Eternia members aren’t buying bonus figures or figures from other lines because of it?

Anyways, I’m kind of stuck again this month, because Battle Armor He-Man is *the* He-Man from my youth, and he’s an excellent bonus figure for this month.  Between him, a reissued Beast Man, and a first ever Adora figure, January is turning out to be a great month to jump into MOTU Classics.  With Trap Jaw, Battle Cat, a reissued Man-At-Arms coming next month, that would be a pretty good start for new collectors.  UPDATE – Mattel also announced that the second allotment of the Skeletor reissue will be available in late January.

Harvey Dent from The Dark Knight, and a 1:24 scale Doc from Cars round out the lineup for the MattyCollector.com sale day Friday.  Here’s the link to the bundled product page for January – you may have to refresh you browser if it shows up blank at first.

G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra Night Raven on Sale at ToysRUs.com

I’m not sure how long the Night Raven will be on sale for $19.98 – but it’s over half off.  Since it’s about half the size of the vintage Night Raven, if you were holding out because of the $44.99 retail price, you might want to pick one up now.

Night Raven Vehicle PackageNight Raven Cobra Vehicle w Cobra Viper2

M.A.R.S. Industries has developed an advanced hypersonic high-altitude attach and reconnaissance aircraft to rule the skies. Supremely fast and powerful, the suborbital NIGHT RAVEN cruises at a top speed of Mach 6 and deploys stealth technology, making it undetectable to even the most sophisticated tracking systems. Equipped with twin rotary launchers, the NIGHT RAVEN strikes its targets with infrared-guided IRG-42X missiles.

Rip-roaring adventure is coming your way, by way of this tough and ready-for-anything Night Raven aircraft with electronic lights and sounds! Lower the handle so you can “fly” this jet vehicle, put the Air-Viper figure in the cockpit and check your retractable landing gear. Then, zoom off and prepare to use this aircraft_s lock-and-load firing action and two rotating 6-missile launchers against unsuspecting opposing forces on the ground!

Includes Air-Viper action figure.

Mattel Avatar Movie Figures 25% Off at ToysRUs.com

I’ve heard a couple times from a few collector friends that the toys from James Cameron’s Avatar started moving considerably faster after the movie hit.  I wouldn’t be surprised if that were true – the movie is so stunning visually, I can see that translating into more demand for the figures.

ToysRUs.com is running an Avatar promotion, and that should help move more product.  Most figures are 25% off, but the big vehicles and animals, which work for pretty much all the 3.75-inch scaled figure lines, are discounted more.

Happy hunting!

DC Universe Classics Wave 12 Desaad and Mary Batson Available at Big Bad Toy Store

Big Bad Toy Store received a partial shipment of their DC Universe Classics Wave 12 order.  They got Copperhead (now sold out but still available for pre-order for the next shipment), Desaad, and both the red and white variants of Mary Batson (nee Marvel).  They’re all $16.99 aside from the white variant of Mary at $19.99.

I love this line, but you ever have the feeling like it’s arriving too fast?  I have still to open my set of Wave 11 – thanks Enchanted Toy Chest!  If you’re still looking for 11, ETC has sets of six figures for $88.99 and eight figures  for $116.99 available.  You can build Kilowog with either – the only difference is whether you want the Steppenwolves or not.

Happy hunting!
