Interesting...do they charge you right away or when the product ships? Ship date could be up to a month away...Thanks for the post!

The price seemed reasonable for me and it saves me time from going all over looking for these things. Thanks for letting us know about this. It looked like the price was paid up front.

Hey, thanks for posting that! I just ordered armored Zod and Faora, which will save me a ton of hassle.

I just got an email stating that since it is a pre-order (or "advance order," in their terminology), that I won't be charged until the items ship. So that's nice.

I wasn't moved one way or the other by these by am warming up big time now. Armored Zod looks amazing as does the supes likeness.

Well done Mattel!

With the movie coming out next week, the hype is peaking, and given Mattel's poor distribution, I went ahead and ordered a set of Armored Zd and Faora. Orlando Walmarts are swimming in Wave 1.25(?): 4 Supes with Key, 2 Plain Zods, 2 Jor-els. I spoke with a couple of folks at a local TRU and there were no stores expecting any but they had bunch in their warehouse. They may get Wave 1.5...2..I don't know, but like Target, they only have 1 peg for this line and I can't warm the door during the week when these are stocked.

It's so frustrating reading reports like "my stores are swimming with Armored Zod and Foara" and at the same time when asking a local WM employee about the MOS Movie Master Figures, she handed me an Iron Man figure. It's just that bad in Florida. Good Luck.

The Walmart distribution is strange. My store got the Armored Zod and Faora but I didn't see them in a half dozen other area Walmarts. I was surprised my store had them considering they haven't carried MM figures since the first Dark Knight series.

Does anybody have an idea when Mattel will ship those pre-orders for the armored Kryptonians? It's been a couple of months since the pre-orders went up, and they claimed they would be shipping in mid-July. We're now into mid-August with no word. I'm beginning to despair...

A phone call to Mattel customer service indicates that the armored Kryptonians should theoretically ship out by the end of this week. We'll see if that holds true or if it's just a kind word to placate the impatient. Here's hoping!

Well, poop. I just called again, and despite being told last week that the items would be shipping soon, they tell me today that the order is cancelled because they didn't get enough in and don't anticipate any more. That kind of rank incompetence I would expect from Digital River, but not from the main Mattel shop.

Sigh.

So, anybody know where I can find the armored Kryptonians?
