    Who will be the first to sell out in June 2012 UPDATED w/result: Snake Man-at-Arms

    Out of the 3 , who do you think will sell out first. I can only get 2 figures on sale day and I was wondering who might still be there on Tuesday

    Horde Prime will most likely sell out first, or possibly Beastman

    I think Griffin will definately be there for till the 16th. SMAA will probably sell out by the end of the day cause of the comic and I think Horde Prime will be sold out first.

    Horde Prime, I don't see SMAA as a fast sell out, and I can't call Griffin, I don't know enough about how much he is wanted by more than the Hardcore (who already have subs) and 200X fans, I as mostly a vintage fan don't really need him, but had I not plans to buy 3 figures already sale day, I would get him if there were only 1 to buy. Because I plan to get HP, SMAA (mainly for the comic and customization posibilities), and Evil-Lyn....I wanted 2 HP, but I want EL too, so I can pick up another HP from BBTS or somewhere later.

    Same thing for me with SMAA.

    Ok first off everyone needs to remember that aside of Subscriptions there is very little day of sale stock with mattel holding back stock for customer service to avoide another Fisto issue.

    So here is how I see it Horde Prime will be a very fast sell out because his hiden face is different from Hordaks and we all saw the test shot image. Second to sell out will be the Griffin as many will buy more than one for their evil warriors . I get Griffin in my sub , but i'm buying an extra Snake Man-At-Arms will sell out, but will last several hours to all day. Some like the 200x improved body others just don't care for him and some will buy him just for the mini comic #2

    Snake Man-At-Arms...seems like the type who'd do anything for money.

    Not only are you the mastermind of evil BJ...you're also hilarious! COMING THIS FALL ON NBC: BJ AND THE BARE! See it's spelled bare purposely because it would feature a sitcom where you live with nudist super models...I'm still ironing that concept out so be patient.

    I've been out of the Masters buying game for a bit, so for clarity sake, the figures still go on sale tomorrow (the 15th) at noon Eastern right?

    And I figure Horde Prime will be a pretty quick sell out, followed by the Griffin.

    I think Horde Prime will be the first to go since he comes with 2 heads, but SMAA should go fast as well since he comes with the 2nd mini-comic and unlike TP He-Man (where SDCC and Power-Con gave away the 1st comic) nobody was given the 2nd comic

    I think Horde Prime will sell out first. I think SMAA will take at least a day to sell out but I think all three will be sold out prior to Tuesday.

    I'm putting my chips in on The Griffin. That's the coolest item this month with the best value imo.

    It's really hard to tell though. Snake MAA (even though I think he sucks) comes with the 2nd mini comic which A LOT of people will NEED to see. Horde Prime is definitely an interesting Evil as well with the "seeeeeEEEEeeecreet" accessory under that helmet too. I'm gonna go with the Griffin though. That excites me the most this month.

    I'm going to say Horde Prime for being freakin awesome, but it really is anyone's game:

    Griffin: army building. ALL of Skeletor's crew flew them in MYP.
    Snake Man-At-Arms: 200X Man-At-Arms body AND the mini-comic

    I'm still going with HP, but it's a toss up between all three, really.

    That poor guy from SDCC will never live down the "seeeeeEEEEeeecreet" stuff, will he?

    I bought 2 so I could have a MAA for my "200x" shelf and a Snake MAA for Hiss' faction.

    Don't you mean "score one for the bad guys"? LOL. I'm sure he sold out because he was a 200X variant and not because he came with a mini-comic. All jokes aside, I'm looking forward of switching Duncan's head with the 200X body. From all the complaints about how Snake MMA only coming with a new head and snake ring, I can never figure out what makes him worse than say Keldor, who is just a new head and acid vial and cape?

    I don't doubt that BigSexyJ's and SCB's in-hand pictures helped the fence-sitters make up their minds. I also think this is a lesson for 'the Company' as well. How long do you think SMAA would have lasted if they hadn't listened to the fans and made it more than a straight-up repaint?
