Last Toys R Us Free Shipping Promotion of the Year – 12/17 Only

Just got an email – Toys R Us is having their last free shipping promotion of the year, today, 12/17 only.

Toys R Us

I took a quick look, and there’s a big mix of stuff that you might want to pick up if you skipped it earlier. For example, they have the Sue and Johnny Storm Marvel Legends 2-pack, the Giants of Justice Flash (also on sale), and a bunch of Joes and Marvel Universe figures in the action figure section their free shipping store. Some of the stuff is already out of stock, like the UFC figures, so you might want to check this out early.

The free shipping store goes away at the end of today. Happy Shopping!

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 12/16/9

It looks as though the answers to our questions for this round may have been lost in the cloud, so if my colleagues will indulge me, I’ll pick five of the best questions and answers from around the internet toy community.

The first answer may not have been that informative, but it had Jitsu. 😀

1. Figures.com – The Four Horsemen did a fantastic job with the Jitsu 200X staction. Is this character on tap for the near future or do fans have a long wait ahead of them?

We can’t comment on unannounced figures, sorry! Jitsu is a favorite around here too.

DC Universe Classics Wave 13 Retailer Pics

These pictures come from BigBadToyStore, where they have just listed pre-orders for individual figures from DC Universe Classics Wave 13 mostly for $16.99 each.  Based on how these are priced, I consider this another confirmation that the unbandaged variant of Negative Man will be a chase figure (he’s the only one listed for more at $19.99), and that the classic and modern Cheetah variants will be packed 50/50.  Fans of the modern Cheetah, unfortunately she’s already pre-sold out.

BBTS also has several sets available for pre-order, and Enchanted Toy Chest has a set of 8 up for pre-order.

Mattel Sales Update – Retro-Action DC Super Heroes Green Arrow On Sale December 23

RetroAction_GreenArrow2RetroAction_GreenArrow_back2

Mattel just updated its Facebook page saying that the RADCSH (formerly World’s Greatest Super Heroes) Green Arrow will go on sale with DC Universe Classics Wave 11 on December 23.  Everything else that isn’t currently listed on their sales page should be added and available on the site for tomorrow’s big sale date.

SALE UPDATE! Green Arrow isn’t going to arrive at the warehouse in time for the sale tomorrow so he’s going to move to our 12/23 sale with Wave 11. All other products are arriving as we speak and will go on sale tomorrow. There might be a day or two delay in shipping as they still need to be sorted out once we receive them, but don’t worry — they’re coming!
