Playmates Vintage Rereleases

Thank you. For that price, I finally jumped on it. It'll look nice next to the NECA Party Wagon when I get my new toy room finally set up.
 
I keep missing that Usagi 4pk. I don’t want to PO from EE because of how long it takes to get cross country. Hopefully I can find them individually at retail?
 
I don't know if they plan on anymore singles being sent to retail. Though with Walmart, you never know. There could be a bunch in a warehouse that just randomly shows up one day.

I wouldn't count it out just yet. I have come across singles at Target, and of all places TRU @Macy's. The only one I'm really after is Usagi, though I wouldn't skip the others if I stumbled on them.
 
I wouldn’t risk it. My Walmart and Targets apparently don’t carry the retro/vintage releases at all.

EE sucks for shipping but I’ve never had them not fulfill an order.

I pre order the final vintage set with Antrax at BBTS. I had missed it at Amazon and then never pulled the trigger at EE. But I got it now. Antrax is one of the very few unique characters I don't have a vintage figure of. I just never got him because I didn't have him as a kid and really didn't even remember the character that much.

So, I'm glad to be able to get him in this set. Much better than the $225 the vintage one goes for now. I think the only unique vintage characters I don't have are Mona Lisa, Scratch, The Fire Dog, The Giraffe, and Merdude. They were just characters I didn't have or remember from childhood. I'm glad I don't have attachment to Scratch. Very expensive.

I didn't have a vintage Scale Tail either, but I found the re-issue at a Wal-Mart and will now be getting another one I guess lol.
 
My order with Amazon is sitting dormant, it seems. A friend got his set already, so they are apparently shipping...but I'm guessing they got overwhelmed and are now just putting out what they have to whom they can. I'm gonna be real annoyed if Amazon cancels or something.

Are you in the US? If so, you should pre order it on Big Bad Toy Store as well, just to have a backup. When one starts processing just cancel the other.

 
So Amazon charged me and shipped my stuff without notice. So I got my figures today. Surprise! Now I just need to sell off this extra Scale Tail, but this is pretty exciting for me. I never had these figures as a kid.
 
My set from Walmart arrived today. For some reason, I was fully expecting Chrome Dome to be part of this assortment, not Antrax. Why would I think that? Look at the picture above, the correct assortment is right there! Chrome Dome is on the cross sell. Is he supposed to be coming out? Did he already? I think I've lost my mind.

The figures look good in package, most of which had warped cards, so I plan to open these eventually. Not til I secure a set to keep carded, and Walmart is now also out of stock. I ordered two sets from EE, which is what I should have fucking done at Walmart. I don't think I can cancel just one at EE. I'd really like to cancel both, again, not til I can find another single set.

Really looking forward to opening. Only one I had growing up was Usagi. The other three will be a brand new experience.

Chrome Dome and Scale Tail started hitting earlier this year (maybe even before Christmas? I can't remember). So them repacking Scale Tail in this 4-pack was a weird move. But only Walmart ever got them, and even then it was pretty sparse. So that Chrome Dome may end up being a rare one to get. I have no idea what the eBay prices are, but if you want it, that may be the only option.
