Here in Australia I seem to be finding the same problem.  We tend to finally get new figures available (online being the only option for me as I live in a regional area) only to find the prices are already jacked up.  

Man At Arms, Trap Jaw, Mekaneck and Tri Klops came up less than two weeks ago and top dollar is already being applied in many cases.  Mind you, Mekaneck lasted in stock for about a day and now I can't find him priced at anything you could call reasonable.

Only three weeks ago I thought I had finally managed to get my hands on NE Stratos, NE Faker and NE Man-e-Faces for good prices.  Turned out to be a scam 

BBTS wont ship to Australia bruh?

I had no idea mv Webstor was that popular. it must be a good fig.

AJ ranked Webstor as his #1 for 2023

#1 for me was Motherboard. Then Buzz-Off. 

I tried to pop Webstor's head off & his face place popped off instead. lol  Nothing broken, just cheap glue that didn't hold. It goes right back on & stays on so I left it that way. I didn't glue it back on because I have a feeling I'm going to want to make a mold & copy it in resin for some other customs. It kinda looks like an Oni mask.  

@skeledog I'll have to check them out.  Postage can be a killer as well as my impatience to receive.

@djfor I think - and I could be wrong - that BBTS does not take care of the import tax for you. So on top of pretty steep shipping costs, you might have to deal with your local customs office, in the worst case (unless the carrier handles that and just sends you an invoice). Still, super annoying...

Thankfully, I think I have solved my problems.  I have found an Australian toy site that are great!  Reasonable prices (and not afraid of having a sale), reasonable postage...

I am now the proud owner of NE Man-e-Faces and NE Man at Arms. 😀 

Looks like Masterverse Sy-Klone...

@depp76 Not really digging the mustard yellow. Sy-Klone needs to pop.

@depp76 where did you get this from? Also Mattel really loves this mustard color…

The (even worse) dijon mustard tones single-handedly killed the Masterverse He-Ro figure for me. Fingers crossed the final version looks better. I do dig what they've done in place of his chest sticker, THAT'S a major improvement over the previous versions!

Now they're asking for it...

Webstor is still one I never got around to getting yet figuring I’d be safe to find him on Amazon. Why the heck is he so expensive? Everyone else you can still find easily, he seems to be the only one 

I have no freakin clue! He didn't even sell out as fast as New Eternia Faker or Buzz-Off. He sat for a while & when I went to BBTS to order a 2nd he was SOLD OUT. So I started looking everywhere & he was sold out everywhere. I checked eBay & almost crapped myself. 

Webstor is the only one that high. But Faker & Buzz-Off are up around $40. I had a real hard time getting Faker because I didn't pre-order him. Faker sold out immediately everywhere. Luckily BBTS put him up for pre-order again & I snagged one. But that pre-order only lasted a couple days & he sold out again. They probably only got a few more cases & then that was it. 

I can't believe a Masterverse figure is already up to Classics prices. The f**kin scalpers never miss a beat.

 

thats some crazy shit bruh. I had no idea mv Webstor was that popular. it must be a good fig.

Scaplers are half the problem. the other half is peeps are payin those prices. the prices would come down if they weren't selling

Wow that's awesome bro!

Also AJ posted this a little while ago

@he-dad yeah I listened to all of it yesterday while at work. Shame that haven't resolved the shipping issues yet. I just happen to have a little extra cash atm so I can grab 3 (hopefully) and get two out to international fans when they come in.

I got my order in for Snout Spout!

I bought a Snout Spout too!

Hi. I am a French Masterverse fan and used to order to Mattel Creations. I am looking for a German fan who would accept to get some figures for me (apparently, Mattel ships to Germany!). 

Well, at least I will have tried! 😉
