Go down to reply #16 for Bork Laser, Christian, an old shelfwarmer, and the collection!
This isn't another post about ZOMG THEY ACTUALLY HAVE GOOD FIGURES AVAILABLE AFTER 5:00 AM. Though that is true, and it's awesome when people post about their availability.
I actually ordered a couple figures last week that aren't that sought after (meaning they haven't disappeared from the site yet) but that I wanted to add to my collection: Kane/Cena and basic Zack Ryder.
Last time I ordered figures from their site (a basic and a two-pack) they were shoved into a brown envelope and damaged to all hell.
I was expecting the same kind of lousy shipping this time, with full intentions of opening up the figures in order to have a lose Zack Ryder for my shelf of loosies. The Kane and Cena two-pack was kind of a guessing game; I wanted a new Kane and planned on opening it up if it was destroyed. Cena was whatever. I have three matty Cenas. I wouldn't mind if I had zero, but they just kind-of appeared.
So, anyway, I got home for spring break today, and I was confronted by an ACTUAL BOX from mattel shop....
and what in my wondering eyes did appear....
BUT FIGURES WITH NEAR MINT-LOOKING CARDING!!!!
And even a thing of packaging paper!!
There's a little bit of bending on Kane/Cena card. Whatever. That's expected. Ryder is basically pristine. I'm going to keep him MOC for the time being. Kane/Cena are going to stay MOC too.
I only ever saw Kane/Cena once in stores, passed it up and never saw it again. Masked Kane is a hot seller.. powerful enough to even move a Cena. Seriously. Cena alone warms so badly that it's not even funny. Kane was a perfect figure to pack with him. I reckon the Pallet is actually a pretty cool and eye-catching accessory, too. It's just a neat looking set, and I needed to acquire a new masked Kane.
Kane close up... amazing-looking scan
Poor John, always going to be stuck behind that pallet
This Ryder scan is pretty sick... definitely the best job they've done for him yet
Kane and Johns. I never went out of my way to get a Cena... I got all of B18 for the other figures and the Target box for Bryan and Dolph
Main wall re-done. Some look a little crooked in this pic, I'm gonna work on straightening them out for my next update.
Now I'm waiting on Flashback Christian and Orton/Ryan (impulse buy because I wanted to complete the Nexus and have a Randy Orton to open up and RKO my loose hornswoggle with). 30 bucks for a basic and elite... not bad. I just hope they're in a similarly good condition.
I'll probably update this post with them in the next week when they show up, where I'll also post my entire other wall of figures.
So, thanks for reading!
Tl;Dr version:
I bought some figures that I passed up at retail from Mattelshop for cheaper than they would've been at retail.
I was expecting them to be damaged and shipped in an envelope, but they showed up in great condition. Can't wait to get my elite Christian to put next to Edge. With good shipping and AN ACTUAL SELECTION of figures, the people at Mattelshop seem to be actually trying. And that's awesome.
