I noticed there is a sign on the outside shipper box to tell if it’s a chase. There’s a slight indent on the front near the middle at the top. I noticed if you open the box then open the figure you’ll know if it’s the chase or not also. 😉 |

I got my Slaughter today but he didn’t come with his glasses…. You can easily open the card and the figure. There is no seal on this what so ever. It may have fallen in the other box or the shipping box. Doubtful, but worth a look |

My slaughter just landed in the U.K., I got two hoping for a chase but no such luck. If anyone gets two chases or a chase but prefers the blue and wants to swap, give me a shout 👍🏻

Good news: Sgt Slaughter has arrived in the UK! Both of mine arrived a few minutes ago; sent from the US with a return address in Belgium interestingly enough. Some packaging to protect the figures - boxes arrived in very good condition. Bad news: my complete Ultimate Editions collection is now over  Both the figures were the same card, both are the blue. Whilst I am VERY grateful to have received these at all given the mess that was made of the ordering process (and the Hot Wheels situation), I am incredibly frustrated that the reason that my collection is no longer complete is that Mattel decided to throw-out a random chase on an online product that was always going to sell-out quickly anyway and didn't actually make them any more money as far as I can tell than if they'd just released all blue cards. I refuse to pay some scalper on eBay 10 times the price I paid Mattel for these to get the black card version. I would have paid Mattel a premium to order the black direct from them if they had listed them separately so I could keep my collection complete, but as they decided to do it this way then here we are. I understand the logic for physical stores wanting to do chases, but for an online order the chase model never seemed to make sense to me in terms of their thinking here. But the figure has clearly been a success so whatever logic they had for this decision has worked-out for them. Keeping a full Ultimates collection in the UK has been very hard and expensive work, especially after the third set when the line was stopped being carried here. Importing from the US, dealing with customs, figures like The Rock not appearing on Amazon outside of the US, the upcoming Batista being exclusive to a store that won't ship to Europe, only the Jeff being offered outside of Amazon US of the Fan Takeovers, etc., - it's not been easy to keep a complete collection going this long but I'm a completist so that's on me  It is a shame it has ended like this with something that hasn't actually made Mattel any more money, but now that it's done then it takes the pressure off me - now I don't need to buy every Ultimate that Mattel release regardless - my collection won't ever be complete again so there's no point me going to extreme lengths to support the line, which is actually a relief  |

Nothing for Slaughter - customs charges since Brexit happened have been unpredictable, but obviously before Brexit then customs added a fortune to the cost of figures. |

If you are not from US, Canada, it is extremely difficult. You pay a lot of money per figure because of the high shipping and customs costs. Mine arrived today too. No black card. My collection is now also practically incomplete. Same figure, of course, but as a collector you want everything to be 100% complete. I understand your frustration. Above all, many got two black cards, which is totally stupid. |

Still no update from Mattel. They said I should have gotten a new tracking number with my Sarge but it's been 3 days and nothing yet.

For any Irish collectors waiting on Sarge Mattel confirmed there is no tracking for International orders can take up to 4-6 weeks for delivery.
Not ideal.
I see above UK are getting it so hopefully soon.
Irish an post service is a joke though so let's see.

Man, FedEx suuuuuuucks. Mine shipped on the 21st, finally it was on the truck two days ago, then they didn’t deliver, now it’s pending with no delivery date.
Meanwhile I see people overseas are getting them?? I’m in California. How can this be so difficult??

I got a call from Mattel saying they're still waiting "to find available stock." So I'm not going to get my Sarge. How can this be so difficult?

If they had let’s just say 4000 of these made to sell and they all sold out. Right? You got a hot wheels. So what happened to the figure you had ordered. Cause your 1 figure is part of the 4000 that sold. Makes no sense. |
