Well, my toy order came in today. I got a Battle Armor Skeletor (freakin DOPE!), a Gold Battle Armor He-Man, another Spawn Motorcyle thingy, and a CASE of colored 10 packs. 48 10 packs in a case means I got 2 store displays. Sweet. I was contemplating opening the case, but I figured I'd look through the packs to see if I could find any odd guys or maybe a purple or magenta hand. It was a trip to see the original shipping label from Mattel. Awesome. Well, just thought I'd share. Toybliss still has LOTS left, too. And at .80 per M.U.S.C.L.E. that's HELLA cheap for a sealed pack.

Damn Johnny, that's awesome about your Toybliss order. 48 10-Packs. Good Lord!!! That's over $380. How the hell did you afford that? Did you get a deal from Toybliss. Probably Free Shipping, but anything else other than that?

Totally cool though!

[jkaris]

No, just free shipping (shipping was $50+).

[jkaris]

3 10 packs had a neon orange hand. Nothing else notable about the bunch.

Johnny,

How were you able to view all the figures inside the M.U.S.C.L.E. 10-Packs? Did you hold the cans up to a light or something?

[jkaris]

A backlight, a flashlight and a lot of shaking.

A backlight, a flashlight and a lot of shaking.

Cool, I'll have to do the same thing when my order of M.U.S.C.L.E. 10-Packs arrives. There's no way I'm opening these things, unless there's some kind of RARE figure in one of them.

They should arrive today!

Johnny,

Had a question. To the store display cases hold 24 Ten-Packs each? I was reading your first post in this forum and got curious because I don't remember the displays being that big. But I guess if you ordered 48 you probably figured it out to work so that you got two store display cases, since you know more about this than I.

[Beligerant1]

I appreciate you going through and looking for those hands, thats really cool. by neon orange did you mean salmon or orange?

[jkaris]

orange

Well guys, I got my order in today. I only ordered ten 10-packs, but I too got a handy dandy M.U.S.C.L.E. display case to keep them in, sweet arse sweet. I plan on investigating further but as of yet, I have found nothing to brag about. I had an orange hand too, but no BHS, or Ashura man. As far as I see there are zero fleshies in there. Did the ten packs only contain colored? I can't remember that far back, but I always thought that there were a few fleshies in every pack, I don't see any. Which would crush my theory of the "RARES", oh well, at least I have some sealed ten packs, and a mattel display case to drool on.

Hey doc moore j,

The colored 10-Packs only contained colored figures, unless it was a flesh 10-Pack, which only contained fleshies. You are probably think of the 4-Packs, which came in all flesh, all colored, or half flesh half colored.

[doc_moore_j]

Thanks, too bad toybliss did not have any all flesh packs, they would make a killing.

[GRANDTHEFT]

God Damn
i think i have to move to the USA so i'm closer to the action
i'm still yet to get myself a sealed 10 pack
but if you can get them johnny good for you mate

Hey Johnny and everyone who ordered M.U.S.C.L.E. 10-Packs,

In the couple of 10-Packs that I orderd from Toybliss, I noticed that the figures are oddly similar, in each pack. I was wondering if you had the same findings Johnny. Are a lot of the figures in your packs similar in color and figure number to your other 10-Packs? My two have a lot of the smae figures in them. Anyone else who ordered find this also?

Maybe the cases housed similar 10-packs, due to the fact that they probably came off the line during the same time and packaged many similar figures. If this is the case, then that would explain it. If you guys are not experiencing the same as I, then nevermind, possibly just coincidence in these two 10-Packs of mine.

[jkaris]

Even the 4 packs were like that. I had a case fresh box f 4 packs that I doled out a while back, and alot of the same figures were in the different packages. Makes me wish I could find a case of 4 packs with a S.C. in it, because then there would probably be 5-10 more like it in the case.

[arforbes]

So, it wasn't just my 10-Packs. They all come case fresh similar. And you're definitely right about finding a case with a satancross in it then. That would kick arse, totally!
