I'm on hold waiting to talk to a supervisor. Lady in India did not understand why or what I was calling about. I even tried to explain the geography of California to her. But no luck.

Okay..Whew! what a headache here's the deal-
The shipping notice originated in Ontario Ca.
But Stay Puft is actually in Nevada that's why he is shipping from there. (what were they doing holding him at area 51 or did stay puft want to hit the slots in Reno first, we'll never know)
But that's why the shipping is so wierd looking.

Yeah, that makes sense. It says label made in Ontario. They still should have done something special for us who had to wait a few years when we all ordered at the same time!

I don't remember, but he shows up like after the signing started (I was just walking out after seeing Dan, like 20th in line, hour and a half prior of waiting) and he asks me if people in suits get special privileges. And I asked what do you mean? He said, you know, front of line no wait and what not. I said I don't know, but I waited in line like everyone else. And then I walked away. I thought that was very uncool of the person to say.
Supposedly, I'm told from random people around town who see my wallet or shirts, if I've seen the Ecto 1 here in town. I guess someone owns one over here and I haven't seen it nor have known about before last year. You know if he has it or where I can find it? I'd love a picture with it.

Is it an Ecto Truck or sedan? Marc just finished his about a month ago. I know there's a truck that's been cruising around for a little over a year. That's not his. those are the only 2 I know of in Sac right now.

The 3 people who told me said it was a caddy. Actually, my cousin sent me a text of the truck a few months ago! Thanks for reminding me. Your Stay Puft still in NV? LoL I think UPS would have been faster. I think they did the postal service USPS this time.

Got mine today....he's so awesome!!!!

BUT....did anyone else have a white foam pad, the size of a standard white piece of paper, taped to the inside of their Stay Puft Suit Case Box? I do not get what this is for. And when I removed it, it has what looked like a number writen on it or a signature of some sort. Confused....

Pretty sure that was to keep Stay Puft's belly from rubbing against the inside of the cardboard box and getting damaged.

Alright, thanks.....makes sense.

I gotta say, IMO, he puts the NECA one to shame. Only downside are the seams really, but other than that, he's pretty much perfect. The Stay puft I've always been wating for 8)

I totally agree, though I would've preferred an angry face.

The right arm on my Stay Puft is a LITTLE bit loose, but really only compared to the other one.

The seams on mine aren't even that bad.

Pretty sure I posted this same thing to you on another board:

The earthquake was actually in Virginia. You felt the effects because the earthquake was less than a mile deep.

We felt it here in Central PA too, and people felt it as far away as Toronto and Michigan.

Crazy.

Got home from work last night and he was sitting on the front step! You're right that box is huge, I can't open him till sept. 1st though (my sis got him for me as a B-day gift and she wants him gift wrapped). the outside box was pretty beat up but the Matty box was alright.

My order shipped in 4 different packages. Boxes 3 and 4 of 4 showed up today containing 3 Pufts, the mail carrier had no idea where the other two packages were or any other information. The tracking number for the first 2 packages hasn't been updated in 2 days.....so I'm not really sure what to expect for the other two, especially with the impending hurricane.

Just clocked in a little shy of the one month mark since ordering. I echo everyone else on being impressed with him more-so in person.

HA! Matty is rereleasing Stay Puft in October...guess the folks who bought tons to sell (scalpers) are gonna get a little screwed with this release :)
Hoefully any folks here who missed out can get one for retail through the site that day.
I suddenly got a warm happy feeling inside.

After only two months, my Staypuft is starting to yellow. Quite noticeably. The arms and legs look like they've been toasted. It hasn't been left in the sun and has been in the box a lot of the time. Anyone else with this problem?
