I know this is technically a double post - but this thread was lost on the 2nd page and I think this news is worthy of bumping it up!

Apparently some of the Retro Action RGB's are getting out there!

Entertainment Earth shows that they are “hot off the truck” today.

Further, there is a seller on Ebay with pictures of the new Venkman - which we have yet to see.

So, Entertainment Earth has these in stock, but only by the case.

I just bought 2 cases.

Winston is packed only 1 to a case, so I think he's gonna be harder to come by.

I'll probably be selling off my 4 extra Venkmans, 2 extra Egons, and 2 extra Rays though.

Absolutely did.

I don't have a store near me to buy them at, and with Winston only being packed 1 to a case, he'd be harder to chase down anyway.

Its pretty simple. I paid $21 per figure. I can sell the extras at that and break even, no different than buying them in the stores.

I'm sure plenty of people would be willing to help out, and I didn't say Winston would be rare. Just said that at 1 per case, he'll be harder to find. 1/8 figures per case is definitely more rare, but not necessarily RARE.

And yea, no store to go to… easier to just grab these as a case, and get them early. I'm sure I won't have any problem selling the extra ones.

Plus, I literally paid retail price. So its not like I paid some inflated ridiculous price.

They're going to be $19.99, exactly like all of the other Mattel MEGO figures that are in stores. After tax, that's $21.18. So I paid $0.03 more. I'm not going to lose any sleep over that.

I've also heard that they'll be $25.99 too, so Im not sure where you've heard less than $20… care to share?
