...  I'm fed up with these companies pulling this crap. ... 

I hate all the exclusives, missed availability dates and stoopid guessing games about what collectible might be next.  Just tell us what you are making, when it will be in stores and where to order.

Sheesh!

Exactly, Im retired now and have a lot of free time. I put 40miles on my car the other day just trying to chase down these figures at Target and gas aint cheap. I keep saying Im done chasing, but what to do. If monster toys were food we would all starve to death, lol.

If you ran out a tank of gas, and put all that wear on your car you're better off paying those scalpers on ebay. I used to do that if it was something I really wanted, and couldn't find it/wait. Then my buddy opened a store with a direct account with NECA, and life has been good since,lol.

I'll go out "monster hunting" if it sounds fun or I have errands to run anyway, but for the most part now I'm content to just place a pre-order online and I'll get it when I get it. I ordered the B&W Creature from Target this morning, but we'll see. I'm a little worried if they'll have stock, so I very well could get a "sorry" email at some point from Target.

Think I've decided I'm also going to sell off the TMNT x Universal Monsters I have up to this point. They're cool, but them doubling up some of the characters really takes out the fun for me. Plus I just need to free up some space. I've harped on it before, but I'd love to talk to someone at NECA about the decision to use Leo for Creature and Ygor and Raph as Frankenstein and Wolfman, when you have other characters. I just hate the decision making there

I just ordered the NECA b/w Creature from Target. I got a conformation email, so I hope it works out!

Price $34.99. Free shipping on orders of $35.00. Rats! Missed it by a penny! So, I ordered a roll of packing tape. Mine was getting low anyways.

I like to order a bag of chips or kettle corn.  The extra product even acts as packing material for the toy.

One time, under similar circumstances, I ordered a make-up something or other for $.99. It was the cheapest thing I could find.  ;D

I eat kettle corn; you wear make-up.  To each his own.

Well, you always want to look your best when you go out in public.

What's the best toy company to order from online these days?
I have some catching up to do since Neca released color Dracula fig. and onwards.
Big Bad? Monsters in Motion?  How about ordering from Amazon?

I just received an order from Amok time toys for the Revenge of the Creature model kit. Placed the order the 25th of Sept. and received it on the 28th of Sept. Really well packed, double boxed priority mail box and packing. Shipping was outrageous ($14.95, the only opition they had) but now days with most companies shipping is a sore spot. I have used them on several occasions and have had no problems. I always look at reviews first just to see how trustworthy a place is, but with all reviews it's hard to tell sometimes.

New Ben Cooper kids. I wish they'd made the actual monsters, this also feels a lot like they're ripping off BCK toys (I can't remember the name)

No Kharis, either, which sucks, but we will be getting Vincent Price and Lee Dracula.

Definitely getting a Creature, even though they got the mask wrong.  ;D

They aren't making the actual monsters. They're making kids in Halloween costumes.

What are BCK toys? Ben Cooper, something?
