Reply with quote

As you may all know we put out an open call for 2010 Mousedroid Site Sponsors. Numerous emails were sent out by not only Mousedroid.com, but our fans and readers, to the major independent toy, comic and collectible retailers across Australia. Sadly, we did not receive as positive a response as expected and were close to making a hard decision, when Case Fresh contacted us to assist. Rather than see the site dwindle under a lack of local support, the owners of Case Fresh have help us to continue the site, covering our running costs for another year.
Photobucket
Where no other retailer would assist in the current climate, it was good to see CASE FRESH supporting the local collecting community. Case Fresh bring the strongest partnership with the world’s best collectible licensed products in the Australian market and are highly recommended as a one-stop shop in 2010 for all your collectible needs. Similar to our support for Hasbro AU product with our Department Store Reports Forum areas, so too have we created a Sponsor area for news, pre-order and in stock product updates.

Great news for this site and CF, but I hope this doesn't mean posts other than "CF is great, Woot!" get dismissed without merit. Credit where it's due, but flaws also need to be discussed where applicable.

Many thanks to Case Fresh and hopefully we who do not collect hasbro SW items can still patronise CF to show our appreciation.

Where flaws are highlighted, I will pass on the comments and details to the director of CF for right of reply with their data...sort of like MediaWatch.

Hopefully with all the Hasbro product now focused on the department stores anf CF being collectibles focused we will see a premier service return...ala reduced pricing in the past few weeks ($65 back in my pocket just on pre-order adjustments alone)

I am just glad I did not have to reach any deeper into my own packets to keep the site running, nor have to pass the cap around every 3 months.

Welcome back, Kotter, I mean CF.

Excellent news, I noticed CF's prices on a lot of stuff is much cheaper than last year. Hot Toys being an example. Emp with Throne is a great deal also.

Yes, I certainly don't support CF (or any other store) bashing. If you have a problem by all means attempt to sort it out with them directly before complaining to everyone here.
In terms of pre-order savings (or lack of), I noticed the Wampa statue is listed as in-stock with a price that's the same as the long standing pre-order price.

Fun Fact: it's only one week away from the 1 year anniversary of pre-ordering the Wampa statue.

Just adding my 2 cents. I Think it would be the best interests of the company to know what their customers want but as usual in buisness there are a few problems that may effect their customers unfortuantly dumping Hasbro was a solution and CF may now focus their attention of SS and GG.

Knowing me that probably didn't need to be posted but keeping convo is cool.

In terms of savings, I got $15 off the original Pre-Order Price of $310 for my Hot Toys Wolverine - who I picked up from the PO this afternoon. Now I just need some batteries for my camera. Sad

Plus I decided to Order both the Police Officer Joker and the NEW Dark Knight as their prices have both dropped by about $150 each.

Try waiting for the GG R2 Statue, 4 years, 73 days and still counting. It's been delayed more times than I can remember.

Where are you seeing that? They are still both $295 each.

When they were first list on CF last year (I forget when), they were both listed as $400 and something. If the old Bargain Hunter section was still around I'd be able to tell.

Yeah, but that was officially put on hold by GG. Smile

Yes, they were over $400, I remember now that I think about it because that original price was ridiculous.

I am close to ordering the Blade figure from them, loved Blade II.
