Toynami Figurama - The Encore Edition

[Reply #200 on:]

Can someone who uses facebook shoot Toynami a message and ask about Lrrr and Morbo?

I shot them a message after Toy Fair appeared to have nothing new - but no reply, unsurprisingly.

Even more annoyingly, it seems Toynami has adjusted its Facebook settings so that user-generated posts ("Posts by others") no longer appear (at least I can't see them).

Seems like you can only now reply to Toynami posts. If so, yet another example of a company trying to shut off the lines of customer communication, rather than addressing them.

All the more ridiculous, since most of the feedback boils down to customers saying something to the effect of "put out some product and take our money!". Oh well.

Maybe SculptBoy/Otto will pop in again some time and shed some light on any other figures (hopefully) back in the works...

Hot damn, well that brightens up my day. How did AFI miss this in their photos?

Neveryoumind, Gender Bender looks great - glad to see he/she/it (lol) has the writing on the shirt and the three sets of eyes look great.

Never picked up the convention Destructor, so I'm just happy my patience looks like it will pay off (famous last words with Toynam...fingers crossed!).

looks like the shelves were missing some things in AFI's (probably) older photos, no stuffed nibbler and bender either

[Reply #203 on:]

Toynami piss me off, they're given an awesome franchise like Futurama and put out figures at a snail pace.

[Reply #204 on:]

I know right?? WTF?

Here also, anyone know of any UK stores stocking this item?

[Reply #209 on:]

It already says May on the second link lol...

As far as the UK getting them goes, I'd expect Forbidden Planet to get them.

[Reply #210 on:]

Can those prices be right?!

[Reply #211 on:]

I'm sure it'll be about $100/£60-70.

[Reply #212 on:]

Yh, cheers TheAnvil, will keep a close eye on forbidden planet, the thought of postage costs to get one delivered from America makes me shudder

[Reply #213 on:]

I'll wait til BBTS or EE get this preorder up.

[Reply #214 on:]

So what about the 2.1 Tineez or the Robot Devil?  2.1 Tineez keep getting pushed back and we didn't see any Robot Devils at Toyfair?!

[Reply #215 on:]

for the $100+ we better be gettin that spiffy ring with it. theres no way that's a hundred dollars worth of 'made in china' plastic. it better have a guarantee six chinese workers lost a finger or something on the package if im shellin that out.

alas, I will. just because ima completest, if that is a word. but how much y'all wanna bet toynami drags this release out until fourth quarter sales day (christmas).

[Reply #216 on:]

for the $100+ we better be gettin that spiffy ring with it. theres no way that's a hundred dollars worth of 'made in china' plastic. it better have a guarantee six chinese workers lost a finger or something on the package if im shellin that out.

Oh, I love you guys.

I won't be getting it I don't think, I would like the latest Tineez past the 1.2's and talking robot devil

[Reply #217 on:]

I'm getting it, pretty much for the Gender Bender. I think my brother (the blue zoidberg guy on here) will probably buy the Destructor off me because I don't really need two (I'm a loose collector and it's not really worth having 2) and he didn't get the original Destructor.

[Reply #218 on:]

Seriously... I'll take eight!!!!

[Reply #219 on:]

Definitely seems a lot for 2 figures, despite the size of Destructor. Hopefully I can get one for £50 or less

[Reply #220 on:]

The other Destructor was £50 on most sites, I doubt you'll get it for less than £60.

[Reply #221 on:]

I believe this will go for around $68.00 -$70.00 dollars in the USA.

[Reply #222 on:]

I believe this will go for around $60.00-70.00 dollars in the USA.

They're already listed on websites for $100-130 with a "retail" price of $150.

[Reply #223 on:]

I'll wait for BBTS, b/c Destructor was only $60.00 before they sold out, got more and raised them to 90 bucks.

I'm thinking EE and BBTS will have the set for $70.00, please, just watch and see.

[Reply #224 on:]

Hey... I hope you're right, I want them to be as low as possible!

[Reply #225 on:]

Me too lol

[Reply #226 on:]

I could be wrong, but I highly doubt it'll be more than $79.99 dollars american when its actually up at BBTS or EE.

But my guess is still around $70.00.

[Reply #227 on:]

I dunno, $70 seems kinda low, my guess would be $89.99 or $99.99 at best.

Heh, we should have a pool going.

[Reply #228 on:]

So how much did Toynami charge for Destructor at SDCC?

[Reply #229 on:]

My bet is that it's $100 in most places.

I'm not sure what Toynami charged for him at SDCC, but it retailed at £50 in the UK. So I'm guessing it was maybe $70-75.

[Reply #230 on:]

Actually (correct me if Im wrong) but as I recall the destructor alone with its AWESOME packaging went for $40 at the SDCC.

[Reply #231 on:]

Yeah but they dont care what we say.. he was like 55 at bbts b4 they ran out. So now with cheaper paint apps and a 10-15 dolla bender he shall go for 150. Makes sense for a non le to be so expensive that only nutjobs will buy one.. only now with bender.

[Reply #232 on:]

Normally, convention exclusives are more expensive than retail releases. So if SDCC Destructor was $45, I'd have expected the retail version to be that or less.

Now this one comes with an extra regular-size figure. Now it's been so long I can't even remember what suggested retail on these were, let's say $15.

So to my mind retail Destructor with Gender Bender won't cost more than $60. If we were doing a pool and had to pick an exact number, I'd say $54.99.

 

[Reply #233 on:]

$64.99 from me

[Reply #234 on:]

I wouldn't mind paying more than fifty if it included the ring. but max ill unwilling throw out before its a hassle has gotta be a hundred. its just not worth it to me now that ive opened and displayed my figures. if its that much im sure ill find a gender bender loose and just get the SDCC version as its got shiny spikes.

effin chinese plastic. if these toys were made in like, indiana then I wouldn't be b!tching.

[Reply #235 on:]

But would cost more.

That's an interesting question - would you be willing to pay more if production was done locally? Or at least, not in China...?

[Reply #236 on:]

Personally, I could care less where the toys are made - it doesn't inherently affect the quality, which comes down to what a company like Toynami is willing or able to spend. If anything, manufacturing in China stretches that money further. The only thing I might be willing to spend on is more articulation (which Destructor could use), but that has nothing to do with where the toys are made.

[Reply #237 on:]

Nevermind, I just read that this set is to be limited in production run.

The new Destructor w/Bender will be $100.00.

[Reply #238 on:]

Could you tell me where you got that information?
