It's not an exclusive for Mattycollector.com for a short period of time? Like a marketing thing? You sure it won't reach the stores?

Nope. Its completely exclusive to Mattycollector.com at this point. Just like their Masters of the Universe line. Those are only available on the website, not in stores.

They've said that if the figures sell well enough, they may be able to convince stores to carry them and then they would start putting them out. Basically, stores like Target, Walmart, Toys R Us, etc. want to use their shelf space on "known sellers", not an 80's revival until its proven to sell well.

1 new figure every month (or every two months by some media outlets), on Mattycollector.com. They will sell out probably within an hour every time.

Very nice! I'm sure my comic shop will have them in today, but I already ordered 2 from ToyRocket... so I'll just have to wait for them to ship.

My Toys R Us didn't know what I was talking about, but the one two-pack I was able to grab from TRU.com should be shipping today. I have a feeling those will be findable in the stores next week sometime.

I'll check my comic store tomorrow; didn't feel like walking in the rain any more than I had to today.

Hmmm... I'm debating just going to my comic shop and picking up a box set today, even though my 2 are on the way.

Is there anyone out there who would want to purchase one of my other two off of me? I'll only ask for exactly what I paid, plus shipping to you. This might help someone too who can't get the box set.

To be clear, I'm referring to the 4-pack of Egon, Peter, Dana, and Louis.

Went all around town, nobody had them here. I guess I should be used to that by now... all the good stores for action figures here closed a few years ago.

Well, Toyrocket has sent me the email stating the my Series 1 box set has been mailed - so that's a good thing.

Also, Proton Charging is now reporting that Diamond has confirmed the Video Game ghosts box set will become available - some at the SDCC and the rest being sent to specialty stores. I hope I can find some place to order them online, because my stores here aren't worth crap.
