Hey, just wanted to give the heads up to everyone: Imagination Station just received wave 3 deluxe figure assortment including "Crypt Curse." Has anyone else found this figure yet?

They haven't had it updated in a long time. It used to be toyshobbiesandmore.biz but I'm not sure if it is up and running right now. I know they offer mail/phone orders. Their toll free number is 1 (888) 305-2301.

[glow=blue,2,300]Awesome news, I wouldn't pay in the $20 or more price range to have him shipped to me though from Imagination Station. I am glad he has been spotted and I can't wait till wave 3 and wave 2 refreshers start showing up everywhere.
*EDIT* I am such a Xevoz $lut! I called to just see how much they were to satisfy my curiosity and ended up ordering 2 for $30 shipped.

;D [glow=black,2,300]Excellent! I purchased one, and it should be here Thursday. Not much longer before I can scratch Crypt Curse off my Most Wanted list...

Reporting *another* Crypt Curse finding: Entertainment Earth received them in stock today; I purchased one for $15.94 including shipping. With Moon Stalker and Hemo Goblin also on their way here (from Amazon/TRU.com), next week looks to be a very good week for Xevoz....

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY
I wonder why no one has the rest of wave 3, once they get to BBTS.com I'm getting them all(don't want to pay EE's shipping prices) and they might get Hemogoblin vs Moonstalker in too ;D

THURSDAY! that's outrageous! i ordered a mechana robot from EE last thursday and it's still not in stock. and you ordered a fig that's not supposed to be in stock until august and are getting it in just a few days! i mean, that's freakin awesome for you, don't get me wrong, but why must i keep waiting for my robot?!!
anyway, i hope crypt and his wave3 buddies start showing up in B&M stores soon... as you can see, i have issues with ordering things on line

Uhhh, slift, are you talking about a Stikfas Mechana.
Cause if you are, I really hate to be the one to break it to you, but EE will NOT be getting any more of those in, in the foreseeable future (unless someone somewhere finds a mis-placed case or something).
You see, Mechas have not actually been in regular production since last spring or summer, and since they were produced while Stikfas was under the Hasbro umbrella there are currently no plans to do another run of this figure (nor can they since as far as I am aware Hasbro still owns the mold for this figure). Ban has stated that at some point in the future they will do another Mecha run (as well as every other figure that has been released so far), but for now he is discontinued.
I'm really sorry to be the one to have to break the news to you, but I would hate to see you wait around for him just to be disappointed in the end. There are possibly other ways (and potentially cheaper ways) for you to get one though.
I will have to look through my "back stock" but I may just have one left still MIB or I may have a kit that I de-sprued and ziplocked but never did anything with beyond that point. So, if you're interested speak up and I'll go hunting through my stuff for him, afterall no one that wants one of these should have to go away empty handed.

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa... seriously? GAH! i thought that i would still be able to get one because it says "out of stock-- available soon", but the way you're talking it sounds like 'available soon' means 'tough rocks, kid'. it's not that i don't believe you, you've been a great source of information throughout my stay here, but i'd like to believe that i didn't just waste my time. see, i'm just 18, i don't have a credit card or anything, so i had to spend like, a day convincing my parents that EE was a good, trustable site and it was fine to put their credit card number on there. by the time i had convinced them, it said 'out of stock-available soon' so i was already kind of mad. when i originally wanted to order one [but my parents weren't sure if it was kosher] it said it was still available. if they don't get any in soon[it's been 5 days as of today] i'm guessing you're right, but i really hope you're wrong this time [no offense, of course]. i guess i'm going to have to email EE about this whole thing and figure out what the crap is going on. i figured this hasbro/stikfas split was going to suck for me, i didn't know how far it would go. god this sucks.
thanks for the heads up, though, shane. if it's not too much trouble, could you look through some of your stuff? i'm not quite sure what i'm going to do right now... but i'd like to know if i had another option. thanks

I just got off the phone with imiagination station. No more Crypt Curses (mine was the last and it was only a single). For future reference, if you get the call in by 4 and pay over the phone, it will ship same day. And the Transcorcher is 28 bucks there.

As far as "have you wasted your time".... Yes, unless by the grace of God (you may want to start praying soon ...like now....although, if you're gonna there are far more self-less good things to pray about ), or some "freak" transdimensional or quantum mechanics accident, a case (or figure as the case may be) just materializes, you have "wasted your time". As far as "never ever going to see it again".... No, you will probably get another chance but it's uncertain as to when that will be....could be later this year......could be next year.....could be when you're 50 and some company does a bootleg-vintage-limited-super-special-edition Mechana re-issue in Puce and Lime Green (don't forget the Vermillion Teddybear now). Ban has said that they (Stikfas) plans to do "re-issue" (re-use) the Mechana mold again (it was and is one of the most popular figures besides the original Alpha kits). It's up to you Slift, if your parents would rather deal with a "company", that's cool, but I'm pretty sure that I have an extra (I have at least 6 of them laying around here in various states). It may be more efficient (and cheaper shipping wise) to go with Imagination Station, but if you need a fall back the offer is on the table. What I'm saying is, don't worry man, you'll get your Mecha .....

bah, i''m not much of a praying man.
i emailed EE's customer service around 3 and they still haven't replied. i asked them if they were going to get more mechanas or if they were permanently sold out.
i'm beginning to open my search again. does anyone have a link to imagination station? i can't find the site. i'm also checking out a couple of other sites for prices/security and the like. i'd be interested in what you'd be willing to sell one for, shane, and how you would prefer to be payed. if you'd rather just send me a PM that'd be fine. thanks for the help, guys
