Masters of the Universe: Origins

I had POed wave 2 at BBTS and was surprised to see that it’s always imminent. That made me cave on wave 1, which was back at PO status, not in stock (except Beast Man). Hopefully they get their restock soon, so I can ship two waves at once!
 
If Evil-Lyn goes in stock I may just have to get her. Probably my broke-est Christmas in a while, but I've been waiting a long while for a figure of this design.
 
So, has BBTS stated how they're coming up with their tariff surcharges, or is as arbitrary as it seems to me?

19.99 to 21.99 for the regular figures.
But 23.99 to only 24.99 for the deluxe Ram-Man.

...por que?
 
Seen several people on FB saying Dragstor sold out in under two minutes on the Australian Mattel site. Be interesting to see what happens with him tomorrow.
 
I got Dragstor no problem just now on the US site. I hate that for the good folks in Australia. Maybe they'll have some more go up soon.

But I got x2 of Dragstor AND Mattel gave me free shipping. It said free shipping on orders over $35. That's never happened before on Creations for me, but I'll allow it :)
 
Easy purchase for Dragstor this morning. Actually, I forgot he went up at 9am pacific time (I had 10am in my head) and yet easily grabbed him at 9:15am.
 
Received Dragstor today. Glad I ordered two, because the first one I opened was missing his jet pack. The second included it, but I’m gonna see if CS will send me new copy.

Aside from that mishap, he’s fun! He has what I assume is the original action feature of a zip line that activates his torso wheel when pulled. That was fun to play with, but I wish he travelled faster! Once you pull the cord and set him down, he kinda moseys along, wobbling as he goes. It’s enough to put a smile on my face, but could have been executed better.
 
I'm still waiting for Dragstor. I did see however that Wave 1 of the 200X Origins figures has shipped from BBTS. So, I'll be glad to get those. Wave 2 along with the Deluxe Ram Man should ship soon too. We all got e-mails saying they'd be processing soon.
