Nope Im passing on it (1st pass of the line).

I just got home from work and thought I had missed out on the sale. Luckily there is plenty of stock this month.

I wonder if they are producing more or the issues with King Hsss and their shoddy QA has driven some people away....

My latest MOTUC updates

First MotUC item i've passed on

I just didn't feel anything for it to be honest. It's similar to the Weapons Pak in collective terms. For me anyway

Getting tired of this waiting business for the SDCC items, perhaps had they not shown Leech & HH we might have found out by now. I guess something had to be done after HsssGate...

**Staff Of Ka** · April 16, 2011, 09:54am

Ok, I recieved Shipping notice on Syke and Panty today! now the wait begins!

**Gimporama** · April 16, 2011, 06:33pm

I just got my shipping confirmation as well.

Well I bought two weapon racks. I won a ton of auctions years ago so that I would have a complete original Castle Grayskull - with box. So I do kinda have an "original MOTU" connection with the weapons rack. I played with it as a kid too, it was the "oh no my figure got his weapon taken of him! To the weapons rack!" kinda deal. Good times......good times....

**r_r_r_22** · April 19, 2011, 01:54am

Almost missed the weapons rack but managed to order one today.

Not real impressed with the figures so far in the 2011 sub. I've found myself selling or trading them.

King Hiss was pretty disappointing IMO and the bonus figure, Preternia Disguise He-Man was a real let down. That being said it beats getting up at 4am each month.

**retcon** · April 19, 2011, 04:33am

I confirmed my order within 6 minutes of them going on sale (Sy, Panthor and Rack).

Only got the shipping confirmation this arvo.

Wishing I'd gone fast shipping too. An extra $15 would have been worth it I think.

Hello,

What a great board and fantastic to find an Australian thread.

This is my first post I have been a long term Star Wars collector and later collector of Masters of the Universe which mirrors my youth as one line seemed to blend into the other.

I hope I don't make two many new poster mistakes before I understand the groove of this place.

I have gone through a lot of this thread but there are many pages to go so please forgive me if this has been brought up before.

I'm looking for information on Vita Brits stickers from back in the day does anybody remember these and if so do they know how many stickers were made and which characters. Would love to see (and own) the box design for these.

Any information would be appreciated.

Regards

Paul

**lorde trooper** · April 20, 2011, 11:17pm

Hi Paul, welcome aboard. Sorry dont remember these stickers, i remember the ones on the poppers but thats it. Sorry

**Paul Naylor** · April 20, 2011, 11:27pm

Thanks for the welcomes! I do have Vita Brit sticker that I can post when I work out the picture posting.

Those Popper ones are my greatest Masters of the Universe memories. They were on BREAK tetra packs by Sunburst Regency Foods and they also did one for the Ewok Movie Caravan of Courage. I was told they also did Batman but I've never seen that one.

So much exploring to do.

**-TRaP-JaW-** · April 21, 2011, 01:30am

Welcome Paul!

Do you remember the Return of the Jedi Icy-Poles? They were my faves!
Still to this day, nothing has ever come close to that red jelly

I don't remember the Vita Brit stickers, but I do remember the little cadbury chocolates with the temporary tattoos inside- they were mad - especially when the new wave of characters began showing up like moss man n webstor etc etc

Thanks for the welcome

Return of the Jedi Icy Poles were so good the Jelly was promoted as Jedi Jelly I have some of those displays and unsued boxes in my collection some of my favourite pieces the red and blue combination was eye catching and just a taste sensation at 30cents hard to go past.

The Choclate wrapper Tattoos are great I have a small collection of those always on the lookout. You had the choice of Cadbury's Furry friends or the MOTU character chocolates with bonus blurry mess tattoo on your arm to look tough - No contest

**retcon** · April 21, 2011, 05:29am

Wow - I thought I was the only person who remembered Jedi jelly ice blocks.

My old bedroom wardrobe at my folks' place still has a stratos sticker from the poppers on the inside of one of the doors. And about 20 of the Transformers ones.

**Staff Of Ka** · April 21, 2011, 06:02am

Hi Paul, An Ex Aussie .orger (who no longer posts for personal reasons) has gotten in touvch with me Via FB and told me he has #3,4 and 6 of the vita brits stickers, and he will scan them into his FB gallery this weekend, so once hes done that Ill send you the link!

I remember the Jedi Ice blocks, I hated the Jelly stuff. My fave early 80's Ice creams were 'Raspberies & Cream' 'Midnight Mint' and 'Smurfs'.

Update Here they are courtesy of Oz Scott-

The Star Wars popsicles by Paul's or Peters ran the free Admiral Ackbar offer around the same time as the Jedi Jelly ice blocks.

Does anyone remember the He-Man and Skeletor ice blocks. The website Toltoys.com has a picture of them.

Agreed

Sad as it is I was pondering this question whilst in the shower and thought that Beastman was likely to have been one of then and most likely the other Teela.

Hope someone can answer this difinitively with examples.
