Zero. MOTU sets look to have gone online exclusive. There will hopefully be 2 more Eternia sets, probably Mattel Creations exclusives. I'm doubting these will even make it to Amazon like Snake Mountain, but who knows.
Also, that packaging is freaking awesome, a real throwback to the old Mattel box art. they really knocked it out of the park with that.

I did preorder this set at mattel creataion, only to find out, i can order it directly from mattel germany.
I have it for a week or two already. The backside is like the backside of the vintage Eternia. The tower itself is a bit small.
Flip track / Attack Track is the highlight of the set. The Figures of buzz off and Ninjor are good too.
Why this has to be a Mattel creations only, we wont find out.
On a side note, we will not get the power sword and big twin mill here, along with other kits.
I did see the new big Aston Martin Vulcan last weekend and had it in hand. Was a Mattel sample, along with the new pokemon kits.
Basicly im thinking to quit buying some themes. I always have to import kits to have the collection complete, but its costs me way more money.
Mattel is canceling kits here because of lack of preorders. Customes cant preoder because of lack of information and listings and the merchands do not preoder, because they have to pay to much for the kits, while Amazon gets em cheaper and discounts them. A Merchand told me its cheaper to buy the kits from Amazon then from Mattel directly.
Because of thease discounts customers dont order at release and wait for discounts. Yeah i bought a few kits at release only to see 4 months later it costs only the half of it.
Last week i bought the Tesla Cybertruck kit for only 65€ incl. shipping. It suposed to be like 300+€ retail.
The witcher set cost in the US under 100$ while here retail is 170€. Ok i got it for 120€ inlc. shipping, but what is Mattel thinking? 120€ is the price merchands buy it from Mattel here.
With stuff like this goin on, its no wonder ppl dont buy Mega stuff at release.

That's interesting that you can order direct from Mattel andibcool. Is there a website like you can share, or do you order some other way?

Yes i think that might have been a mistake by Mattel Germany. But its the normal Mattel shop. Usually they dont have anything and are quite to expensive, but they had the kit in stock. shopping.mattel.com/de-de/products/mega-masters-universe-eternia-gefechtsfeld-bauset-hff28-de-deYou could even use Mattel Points to get a pricedrop of 5€. Edit: If i find time i will scan the instructions and upload it on Youtube. Havent opened and builded it yet but Mattel / Mega seem to take ages nowadays to upload the instructions. |
