Quote from: MonsterBaker666 on January 24, 2025, 04:58:00 PMI'm STILL waiting for the Vincent Price figure to arrive at BBTS.  Also had the American Werewolf Jack and David figures on pre-order from them - still listed as coming soon in January 2025.  I'm sure on Feb 1 they'll both change to coming soon Feb 2025.

If this is how NECA is going to be releasing figures (1 here, 1 there, none over there) then I'm done with pre-orders.  Tired of seeing these figures never arriving where I pre-order them from and the dates just changing.  The figures WERE to be released back in October 2024. 


That's just BBTS. If you order from them just be aware it will 2-3 months after their "estimated" ship time. I either wait for Target to get them or find them from local shops.

I quit dealing with BBTS over this BS. I preordered the TOTS Creature and Frankenstein Candy Pails from BBTS, and they kept putting me off month after month after month until the pails were only available on the aftermarket for ridiculous prices, then the jerks canceled my preorder. I still think BBTS skimmed some of those to sell on the aftermarket like those crooks at ToyWiz were doing. I can't prove it but it's enough reason to take my business elsewhere.
ALWAYS MONSTERING...

I finally received my Crypt Club figures today. I did not get an E-mail or any kind of shipping notice from NECA  Good thing I was home and just happened to look out and see the UPS truck pull up. I always try to keep on top of shipments headed my way. They usually ship USPS most of the time so sort of threw me off.

I received mine at some point in the last week (my wife had just put the box downstairs). I'm not sure what I was expecting but the packaging is much larger than I anticipated. 4 times bigger than I had imagined in my mind. That being said, the packaging is pretty cool. All the way down to the fine detail of the printed dust on the top of the box like it has been sitting around on a shelf since the late 90's.

After weeks of hunting toy stores and comic shops looking for the Vincent Neca, I bit the bullet and ordered him. Giving Best Buy a shot since they ship for free.

Check Walmart!

Just walked in this morning they had the new Bloody disgusting display with the new mummy!

Any idea what state? I am in Ohio, and my local has nothing. :'(

Walmart score here too!

They restocked the Bloody Disgusting shelves, that remained mostly empty since the sell out of Neca items when they first started these sales, at least in my area.

As Mcfly22 posted, I was able to score Neca's Ardath Bey Mummy also !  Surprised to get Ben Cooper Kid Nosferatu too. 

Somewhat making up for the bare Target Collectors Spot shelves.
Since last Spring, my Target has dried up on any new Necca items.  My last score was London/Midnight, and their shelves are really, really bare.  After the Holidays they were cleaned out even more so, I know they are thinning out the POP figures, but my Target seems not to be restocking any thing else...?

Ok, New York is close logistically speaking. I will start watching my Wally Worlds. Thanks! I hope they get Kemp House Invisible man too.

Me too, and my WM never has anything I want, until long after I've bought it somewhere else (if ever).

Boy did I get lucky! I checked the Walmart website this afternoon, it showed that the supercenter 11 miles from me had the Ardeth bey figure. I thought do I really want to trust the Walmart website? But made the trip and sure enough they had him!!!!
