Even more Bride sets were delivered today and it seems some people are getting no shipping notice at all.

I didn't get a shipping notice until after my Monsterizer arrived.
Morning, noon, or night, Anytime . . . . the count may strike. If you're caught you have to linger, Cause Dracula may bite your finger!

Is everyone enthusiastically reporting their mangled hanger tags and smashed boxes, or are they getting there ok? $70 is a lotta bacon for something to arrive in horrible, hulk smashed, water buffalo stampeded condition. :angel:  :angel:

I keep checking for a ship notice also. Im afraid I may be developing OCD. I keep checking more than I should.  :o Damn thee NECA!

Don't know how but I completely missed the glow Nosferatu even being advertised. Off to eBay, I 'spose.

Have they announced where the glow Bride and Invisible Man will be released yet?

They have not, but I expect one to be a NYCC exclusive, as the Phantom was last year, and the other to be a NECA webstore exclusive, as the Dracula was last year. NECA could always surprise us, of course, particularly if some big box retailer has taken note of how the glow figures have taken off in demand since those first three sat for a while.

I've decided I am not doing anymore "fomo" tactics at all moving forward. I already pooped on any and all variants from day 1 of collecting. This Bride of Frankenstein being delivered without shipping notice, being an exclusive to NECA store, paying shipping, and the concern its gonna show up destroyed have been the impetus for this decision.

If I cannot purchase from a local brick and mortar shop, I am not buying them moving forward. I don't care if it's a Vincent Price that talks, on a throne on skulls,  with a haunted library diorama and a skinned werewolf rug on the floor. The stuff is getting too expensive to not see it in hand before buying, and take a chance it will arrive soundly.

I know no one cares, but that's my 2 cents,lol. 8)  ;)

I can totally understand the frustration Anton.   Personally I can't be bothered to stop in stores to look for these things.   If the pre-order is simple enough or I see them at a convention then I'll go for it.  If I don't get something my life goes on, and there's $65 for a nice dinner somewhere.

Spotted one of those giant kid's meal boxes, with the UM stuff in it, at WM. I think it was only $22?

The Burger King ones? Why no picture?

That sounds correct. And it's still not produced by NECA.
