Standard Mail is the new term for “bulk mail”, and if you want to go way back, it used to be called 3rd class mail. Standard Mail is processed by the USPS on a “time available” basis. There is NO guaranteed delivery time, only “typicals”. Local mail is typically delivered in about 3-6 work days, national mail can be 1-4 weeks… sometimes its faster… but sometimes its slower.
The “pros” - It’s the least expensive postage mode, a bit more than half the price of 1st class, which enables you to mail lots more for less. It also allows up to 3.3 ounces, all for the same low postage rate. And if your mail is heavier than 3.3, the weight surcharge increase isn’t too much more. The “cons” - Due to the delivery time, NEVER use Standard Mail if you have a rapidly approaching event or expiration date. Standard mail is not forwarded and not returned if undeliverable. It merely goes in to the USPS recycling bin. |

Unless your place collapses in a sinkhole or is struck by a meteor then your figures will get delivered. I've never had an issue with USPS, but I can't speak for everyone here.

I never had an issue with them either...well, except for today. He stopped at every mailbox on my street except mine! WTF?! When he passed my mailbox I stopped weed eating and literally chased him down to my neighbor's and said, "You don't have anything for me?" And he said, "No. Why? Oh you must be expecting something? Sorry, I don't have anything." DAMN! I was actually expecting to see my bagged Mindbender today. Oh well.

Now that you mention it.. there was supposed to be a TF Roadblock in the Con stuff, but was canceled for some reason.. so this is still possible and fills a hole.

I got my 3rd-class Mindbender today. The box had some crush damage but the figure and card were fine. That said, meh. I'm probably not going to keep it. Given that my renewal date is in February and con registration was so late I probably would have been better served just letting my membership lapse for a month.

Do any pics of this exist? Have you seen any pre-production versions?

Nope, but prior to the Con reveals, there was mention about a TF Roadblock being in the set to myself and another person. There was no details given as to what parts were being used for him, but itnwas a surprise when he didn't show up at all in the exclusives. So.. when you think about it, he is a figure that people won't want to miss. He goes with this years set and one of the few members that has been missing in ME.
