Masters of the Universe Classics
Hi, all.
He-Man and Beast-Man, the first two entries in Mattel's "direct-to-consumer" Masters of the Universe line went on sale a few minutes before 12:00PM EST on Monday December 1st. I was a big MOTU kid from the line's inception and given the "more poseable 1980s toy" aesthetic and the fact that these two characters were my first-ever MOTU toys back in '82, well... to say that this line hit on all of my nerdy nostalgianaut buttons is probably putting it lightly.
Needless to say, I hovered and refreshed on the Matty Collector site this past Monday until the "Coming Soon" tags turned into "Order Now" buttons just before 9:00AM PST. I'm now wondering how many fellow Canadians did the same.
Did any other Cybertron.ca members order these figures? Have you recieved them yet? I also appear to be the only person in the Western world to have his order being listed as having shipped from South America (most reports I've read have these orders being fulfilled from centers in either California or Puerto Rico)... Have any other Canadians run into this?
