NECA Ben Cooper Kids

[Mike Scott]

They're pushing a replacement preorder for Wave 2 in place of the original order.

If they want to send me all of Wave 2, maybe I can sell all of them for enough to buy the Creature.

It's annoying, but I'm accepting the swap for Wave 2.  If they deliver, they'll come out to $18 each and save me the hassle of hunting in store.

Right now, those BC Kids are flavor of the month, and honestly a girl with pigtails in a Creature costume isn't a great representative toy for the Creature. Also, with the demand for these things NECA is foolish if they don't make a lot more of Wave 1 and cash in. It may take a while, but where $$$ are at stake it could happen. So, if enough hit the marketplace scalpers may get stuck with excess product and people who overpaid for these things will feel pretty foolish. Overreacting to flavor of the month leads to overspending and regrets for it.

Why couldn't they have made her the vampire girl?

IF.

Given that Wizzo (I'm purposefully not giving them any SEO) is pulling the same stupid "dynamic pricing" with series 2 that they pulled with series 1 (with several from w.2 already sold out), I wouldn't trust them with a nickel. I'm not privy to NECA's wholesale terms of service, and SRP is impossible to enforce, but it wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that dynamic pricing runs afoul of NECA's policies. Caveat emptor and all.

This is disappointing. I've called Toywiz twice to inquire about my order. I haven't received the email, but I suspect I'm SOL too.

I just called them and I'm not getting mine. Just a refund.

That really sucks, Mike, I'm sorry.

For anyone interested, series 3, comprised of The Alien, Beetlejuice cartoon version, and Gizmo and Stripe from Gremlins went up for pre-order today.

Amok Time Toys comes with my highest recommendation as multi-decade retailer with passion and integrity.

I can't give a stronger caution against attempting business with Toywazzo - never gonna use the real name because I don't want it searchable, but I'm taking about the company Mike just got a refund from.

Also, currently as of this post, available from Entertainment Earth and Big Bad Toy Store.

If anyone notices singles for sale or wants the three that aren't the Alien, please let me know as the Alien is all I'm after from this series and BBTS has the single figure listed as sold out.

That really sucks, Mike, I'm sorry.

The eBay scalpers ain't gettin' my money.  If I have to pay $100 for a (new) toy it's going to be a $100 toy.

I hate having to buy a whole line of something when they are individually packaged!

[horrorhunter]

If I find wave 1 for $20 each, I'll buy them, which probably won't happen unless NECA decides to rerelease them at some point. Otherwise, I'll just pass on them. I'm not overpaying scalpers for new toys.

Buy a lottery ticket, instead.

I pre-purchased theFrankenstein Ben Cooper Kid from ToyWiz.  They just sent me this email

I answered ToyWiz's email with a request to cancel my oreder. 

They issued a refund in under a minute.

STILL NOT HAPPY.  I see a lone Frank Copper Kid on eBay for $145.00.  So I won't be getting one.
