Re: Got Coneheads? List of retailers that might...

Just got my Coneheads from CMD Store. I noticed it was double-taped on the actual packaging (not the brown shipper box) and I was kind of freaking out. After opening it though, the figures were brand new and strapped in with their ties, so all good. Finally happy that getting these is over, lol.

Just an FYI for future reference, it's happened plenty before for new toys to be double taped. I have no idea why they're double taped, (maybe random inspections of some sort) but like I said, there have been many instances in the past of this happening.

Many moons ago, I remember seeing that all the MP Acid Storms on the shelves were double tapped. IMHO, if it's an obvious , sloppy job, the chances are it's fine. If it's super clean and you need microscope to see that a second layer of tape was applied, then I'd be concerned.

Any ways, I'm glad people are getting their stuff.

Yes, it's part of Hasbro's QA process, happens more often with collectibles than standard retail releases.

Not Coneheads but close enough so I figured I would post it here. CMD has the Rainmakers in stock again:

Nice find! Mandarake is excellent but EMS shipping from Japan is still frozen I believe.

Coneheads might be re-released in the Legacy line???

That's correct - you can still EMS or Air PP to a US address, if one possesses that resource

I clicked the sold out link to amazon.ca and one of the other product suggestions was the Netflix bumblebee was $200, more than MP 2.0 bee. Wtf. </Me shaking fist at sky>
