So creations site currently has Orange set and Lawler set half off, Studd/Hogan wave is 30% off. Think they'll do any better Black Friday/Cyber Monday? Or is this probably the best time to order? “Valid November 25, 2024 (12:01 am PT) through December 3, 2024 (11:59 pm PT) or while supplies last, whichever occurs first, only on select, in-stock markdown items purchased at creations.mattel.com. Valid only on items found here: creations.mattel.com/collections/limited-sale-event. Price as marked. Barbie Club 59 Members, Red Line Club Members, and Fang Club Members (“Members”) get an additional 10% off these select markdown items. To redeem, Members must log into their Mattel Creations account and enter promo code MEMBERS10 at checkout. Promo code is non-transferable. Cannot be combined with any other offer or promotions (excluding shipping promotions). No adjustments to prior purchases. Purchase limits may apply; see individual product descriptions. Only one discount per order, may use on additional orders. Not applicable to taxes, shipping or handling charges. Mattel reserves the right to modify or cancel this promotion at any time without notice. Void where prohibited. Purple monkey dishwasher.” My bad, guess I mis-read the timer in hours instead of days. Time to stock up I guess. |

Ordered 2 of the Lawler set and a Hogan set. Almost ordered the newest one, but then discovered I could get it for 40 bucks on Amazon just a heads up, don't know if that was already common knowledge.

That's the first I've seen of the new Retros being sold on Amazon US - the seller seems to be called 'Good Muffins!' so what their connection to Mattel is would be interesting to know; some sort of PaulMart situation? Also interesting that Amazon states that "50+ bought in past month"  |

Ordered 2 sets, I should have them by Monday or so I think. |

Fell off the back of a truck! Even if they're a little cheaper, for new sets, I'd still buy at MC to support the line Yeah, nah, I'm good. I'm gonna go for the best price I can find, they're not exactly putting top notch effort or care into these, I find it pretty hard to pay full price for any of these at this point. Especially seeing how long they remain in stock, not too much coming out that I'm just dying to get right away. I can wait for a black Friday sale or better price on Amazon. FE with the 95' wave, Blayze is a pretty cool addition that I need to go with Bull Nakano from Chella, but the others don't excite me, Bulldog pales in comparison to the ones Mitch has made, so I'd never display that, Yankem, not much of an upgrade over the fixup I had previously made using a Dean Ambrose retro and the head and shirt from the Yankem TRU elite, and Shawn is decent, but again I had already had a fix-up from about the same era of HBK, plus they stuck the old man head on this one for whatever insane reason, so it will pretty much need a head swap to really be displayable anyway. Point is, minimum effort is being put into these and it's clearly just a cash grab, so I see no rationale in spending any more money than I need to to "support the line". |

Bought the blayze bulldog set off amazon for my grandson for Christmas at 40 bucks, came without outer brown box but since he will open and throw away packaging, not bad. My 3rd bundle as Bought two off creations when originally released.

Was fortunate to snag an early Sherri factory sample from next year's bundle, will go nice with the rip sample.
