Yea I definitely had to grab a set of these. I wonder though if these will be an item that is infinitely available, and to that, if they will have many more alluring colors. I love the flesh, obviously, but would almost rather have a colored set with each figure having a color representative of their character/color. I have a purple Skeletor and already know that I prefer it to flesh one...

 

As with so many things, I suppose a lot depends on sales.   People within these companies are aware of forums like this one and are often members.  This comes into play, as well.

According to the back of the packaging there will be multiple other colors released.

This batch that just went up in the store is just leftover stock from SDCC. Someone from Super7 told me the full release will be coming up at a still TBD date.

Packs C&D are the real winners anyway, imho.

I recently got my package from Super 7 and was pleasantly surprised upon opening it that I too received a Skeletoken and purple Skeletor. I was stoked on these freebies and then soon realized that I was sent two packs with He-Man and did not get the pack with Buzz-Off. I thought that it may have been my mistake when ordering but I checked the email that was generated and sent to me after my purchase. I did in fact order one of each pack A, B, C and D. I have since twice attempted to contact Super 7 but have not heard back. My first message is going on a week old. I guess I am looking to you all as to what you think I should do. I have never had this issue with a direct purchase from an online retailer before. Any suggestions?

 

I guess I should add that I would purchase the one that I am missing but it appears that there are no more available.

I ordered a set online and i too got two packs the same, the skeletor pack, but didnt get the Buzz-off pack as well. I only got a token though, no purple Skeletor, but i guess its ok since i already have a couple.

Is there a number to call them? I'm just assuming that they got hit with so many orders really fast that someone messed up. But this missing items/duplicates incident has happened to a few people by what I've seen on various boards.

Yeah, I'd suggest that maybe they're experiencing an influx of business that they weren't prepared for. Just be patient. They're not known for exceptionally shitty service, so give them a chance and I'm sure they'll work it all out.

It's a bummer that others have had this same issue, especially considering it really is a set...

 

I have only heard good things about them and that, in part, is why I am a bit surprised that nobody has bothered getting back to me. I am not trying to bash them by any means... I have looked for a phone number in the email and on there home page. The only form of contact provided is email from what I can see. I guess I just don't know of any other options than to wait it out and deal with it. If/when I hear from them I will be sure to update this thread with the information they give me.

Thanks Plastic! I called the store phone at 6pm PST. A man answered and was super helpful. It sounds like several people had the same issue Eric did with receiving 2 Skeletor packs. Not sure why, maybe mixed up with a bin of the other pack. He was the manager there and gave me his store email. He said he will have my missing pack out in the mail tomorrow and will email me a shipping label to get the duplicate pack back to them.  

 

If anyone else is planning on calling them I would recommend doing so before 6pm PST. It sounded like he may have been the only person there and on his way out of the office. The manager was very polite and apologetic. Great customer service and I happy they are working things out.

They had these at NYCC so I was able to pick up the set that I was missing (B w/ Skeletor).  I think this 2nd batch is made of a completely different material.  They are much more of a harder plastic and not at all as rubbery as the first batch.

 

Anyone have a rubbery 1st batch pack B (Skeletor, Beast Man & Trap Jaw) they want to sell?  I don't even care if it's opened, because I'm just going to open it myself anyway.

Interesting! I had a feeling it might change. What would you compare the new material to? Does it feel like an actual MUSCLE?

It's more plastic like.  There's still some give to it, but the first batch I have feels much more like the old Muscles...

Thanks. I have all the figures in the first version, but I might have to eventually buy one pack with the new material out of curiosity.

I still have yet to grab any. By the time I think about it, it seems like the next batch is gone. I really want that Mer-Man.
