Super 7 "Official Universal Monsters Thread"

[Monsters For Sale]

I need one of those puzzles!!! Who's going to this thing? 

Will it also be available in the Super7 store?  Maybe all you will need is someone who lives in San Diego.

The puzzle box looks like an FM cover. 

Looks like the item everyone will want so far.  I hope they made enough of them - and more for certain other monsters.

If there are any left over after the con.

Maybe all you will need is someone who lives in San Diego.

Do you know any?

No.  I was hoping we had such a member who would read this.

Me too! 

[Monsters For Sale]

Me too! 

I was hoping on other members' behalf.  I don't see anything here I particularly want.  The best item is the Creature puzzle - and I collect only Frankenstein.

[MadCow]

Damnit, I was going to take a break from modern collecting but I really like those Reaction figures and the puzzle.

[Mike Scott]

I don't see anything here I particularly want. 

What about the 3.75 in. Frank figure?

What about the 3.75 in. Frank figure? 

I think the card is interesting.  Don't think much of the figure.

Maybe, if it was $10-$12...   Doubt that will ever happen.


Looks like this guy plans on attending:




(Didn't take long, did it?)

I love the puzzle.  I also think the card art is interesting, though I'm not sure about the figures.  I wish they would have done an '80s neon set like last year.

. They sell the exclusives that aren't sold out on the website a few days after the con ends

Last year they waited several weeks, and then spread everything out a week at a time. So figures one week, the masks another. They want to whip up the collector frenzy and they want to limit releases to get you to buy more stuff to feel you get more value for shipping costs. Why spend $9 to ship a $15 figure when it sounds better to buy 2 figures to feel like a better deal on shipping? This month alone they are doing it again with a new release every week, get you coming back, get you buying more of the older stock.

I want the puzzle, but now jumping through hoops for it. Would have gotten the figures if they were the same bright colored paint scheme to match last years exclusives, but instead will pass.  Brian Flynn is not someone I am a fan of, and hes killed a lot of good will I used to have for the company. Sorry for upsetting any friends he has here, but hes beennothing but arrogant in my past interactions with him. And he loves to hype up and even misrepresent the rarity of his wares (like making it sound like Maria was only getting the CreatorCon release before announcing the regular version).

Masks are great.  I need the Wolf Man.  Could definitely have used a Drac as opposed to the Bride, but whatever. 

I like the coloring book.

Leaving the shade aside and walking into the sun... the newest announced Boodega items:... 

So, basically - nothing else anyone would actually want for now?

          Monster Garbage Pail Kids Cards?  - Really?

          Restaurant placemat-quality Coloring Book.  (Well...  24 pages.  Make that Dollar Tree-quality - Worth $3 to me - for a 4-year old I know.)

          Green Bride, Orange Frankenstein and Blue Wolf Man Masks?

(I know...  You must really hate me.   But, honestly, these are my first reactions.  Super7 teases us with images of Universal Monster Soapies(z)? and gives us Garbage Pail Kids pieces of cardboard.)

Is it just me?  Are there members out there who have been waiting for more Garbage Pail Kids items?  Go ahead, tell me how awful I am - I can take it.  Not like I've never been totally wrong before.

Monster Garbage Pail Pail Kids' cards look neato. I collect Garbage Pail Kids.....especially the Monster series during Hallowe'en. I guess, to each their own. The masks look very similar to the Target masks released two years ago.

Blue Wolf Man Masks?

I freaking love the blue Wolf Man mask.  It's beautiful.  You'd better watch out Adam, 'cause next time there's a blue moon, you know who's gonna get you!
