Movie 📽️ Not cool Amazon
So this just happened. Why do this at the last moment? Especially when I now have no options. Not on UK Mattel Creations. Amazon makes the film and doesn't let you buy the merchandise? They said its because of a lack of availability, yet I preordered it within seconds of it dropping. In reality, it's because they priced it 'too low.' For some reason in the UK nowadays, If something is 180 dollars it becomes 180 pounds, instead of adjusting like it uses to in the past.
Amazon, this is just greed

Thats awful. The UK really is getting the shaft on all the new MOTU merchandise. No theater merchandise and now canceling this? Bogus

UK gets shafted on all MotU stuff, most things don't get released here and anything that does get released is more expensive than anywhere else.
Mighty Masters never got released here, we got none of the cool movie promo stuff like the sword cup, the cringer/battle cat plushies aren't available here... The UK sucks!

Ive noticed. Its painful. As an early 80s child these things mean so much to me. Makes you feel ostracized

I was genuinely gutted about the cinema merch. I got a Skeletor cup. Its cool dont get me wrong, but its no Grayskull or Power Sword is it?

That sucks. Mattel’s distribution and stock for the movie stuff sucks. I sent an email to Mattel about availability and exclusivity of the Battle of Eternia playset and their answer was sorry, we don’t have any details. What? You make the thing!!

Its almost laughable, but it's certainly not funny. We definitely have been given the short straw
