The Energon Pub

Managed to pay by PayPal for eternia. If they are sending out the early bird figure out seperately they could have reduced the shipping for those vmbacking after the 'free' figure.

Kinda getting fed up of cards not working, we notice suspicious activity that you have bought a toy from the same place you have bought a toy a week for the past month hahaha, how is that suspicious?

I've noticed that with cards a lot lately, since they "enhanced security". We've noticed a payment from your card, using your phone, to one of the four regular sellers you used just one day before. But is it you though?

Email from Mattel, order cancelled WTF

Ouch!

Did they give an actual reason? Or something vague and dismissive??

Maybe you just don't have the cash?

You could always call your credit card provider and ask for an increased credit limit by 1000$.

YOLO and such...

Was curious what the current tally on Eternia was.



Excuse me while I hit refresh a few times, I want to see that moat monster tier get reached.

(Edit) There we go!



It occurred to me that they should make King Grayskull a paid addon for all backers. I don't care if it reduces his rarity, I wouldn't mind picking up a second one to have on card.

They said thy might release the elder in different colors but no word on King grayskull classics might be the only way of getting him.

I have the money, just usually PayPal does a security thing too for payments and that hasnr popped up (first order and my second).

Plus the moneys not meant to be taken until the campaign ends, so double shrugs.

Second order at 2.23pm cancelled at 3.45pm

So is it a Paypal barrier or Mattel?

Not sure, Mattels contact us automatic reply says it might take then a week to reply. Could just be that they refund it then charge it on campaign end? If so I will have ordered two... I'll just have to wait until they get back to me.

You would assume crowd funding would have better/faster feedback measures in place...

I had a temp hold put on my card when I first ordered and a full charge placed when it was fully funded.

Mattel Link

8,148 Backers
Target: 5,000
Target Reached! 162%
Time remaining: 15 Days
Ending on November 10, 2022

Not too far off that 10,000 backer Keclar tier.

Meanwhile I dunno if I'm locked in for one, two or none. Gotta love customer services.

*also kapow has/had the S7 snake tiny bridge mountain back in for near £1000. I'll happily wait for the origins set

Two weeks left and it has stalled a bit after King Grayskull was no longer available. Not sure if it'll reach 10K now, but it will likely get a boost in the last few days so we'll see what happens.

Currently at 8,181 Backers. Is Keclar known/popular enough to bring in the last 1,819 in just under two weeks?

He's not a name I'm familiar with from NA or 200X, so I don't know?

Definitely not, but he is a free figure just the same and I think some people are just going to pretend he's Eldor until we get a proper one (probably a Keclar retool) with He-Ro anyway.

I didn't think so. Wouldn't it have been more prudent then to include some unrealised Alcala design EG Sorceress, instead to entice more fans?

Anything other than a guy who got crowned during an eternian black facing competition.


Mattels emailed back: I see that you are trying to purchase the Masters of the Universe Origins Eternia Playset, and it was cancelled by our system. I would suggest you login to the website creations.mattel.com when making a purchase...


Nothing about whether I will still get the free figure to sell on or not :/

... Order cancelled again.

I think we've had enough Alcala easy repaints to last us for a long time. What other version of Sorceress/Goddess/Teela do we need, I think they've done every version now? I'd rather have Vikor or Demo-man, or even better, Battle Lion to go with King Grayskull! They would have hit 10,000 the first week easily if BL was done.

I wouldn't mind a Teela reissue. Plus, that robot with gears in his clear chest too. I missed out on both and now, they are around 8 times the retail price.

She just got an updated sculpt (new head and the improved knees) with Zoar for a reasonable price of $30. She's on BBTS and probably some Canadian retailers. The brighter gold might not appeal to everyone, but I like it. I imagine the price of the first Teela will come down a little now and some people will buy this for Zoar and flip Teela on eBay.

Oh, nice set!

I do hope Canadian retailers get it because I don't feel paying double just because of the damn shipping.
