Saving the world... slowly.
OK for masters fans living around the Angus, Tayside, Dundee area here is the breakdown of what the tartan armies of Eternia can expect.
Kingsway Park Toys R Us -
Currently this is the No.1 place for He-man in this area as the get at least 1 delivery a WEEK (though last week they had 3!!) of stuff. Mostly Snakemen Waves but they said a few other waves may be ordered to bulk up the shelves again, of which MOTU currently has a large display area(unfortunatly however it appears a rogue staff member recently decided to unpack the several boxes of samurai waves which were clearly being hidden in the back room in order to let the good stuff through...clearly...) They said, as I have posted in several other threads, they SHALL be getting MANY more figures in the future.
Kingway retail park Tesco -
Was good at a time and had many figures in what small toy space there is up there. Its just over the road (park) from TRU as well which is nice. Lately however since the massive sale on MOTU there are NO figures here at ALL. Whether they get more in I am not sure so does anyone know Tescos stand on MOTU?
Town Centre - Toymaster
At one time they had a huge MOTU haul but now sadly it's reduced to ONLY standard wave 1 He-man and Skeletor and about 1 Merman. These have been hanging around for months which makes me doubt whether or not TMaster will get a new delivery of any MOTU product. This shop is quite small however, far away from the main shopping area and pretty much unknown.
Town Centre - Woolworths
Lsd Skeletor....
Does anyone know Woolies UK stand on MOTU, I think a few phonecalls are in order!
Argos, Index and TK Maxx -
All rubbish either no figs or MA He-Man. Never been in TK Maxx but will look today, thought they just sold clothes
Anyway I hope this helps someone, like I said TRU is the best by far and is always getting deliveries. I managed to get involved with a couple of SA HE-MAN figs which were straight from the peg! (no backlot browsing the new cases)
anyway happy collecting

Went to the York Toys R Us last night, they have had the HERO assortment of Snakemen figures ( I know this because they only had Meckaneck and Man At Arms left!) Don't know if they have had the Villians yet.
BUT................
They did have Two Prince Adams and 2......... yes 2 Folks..... Zodaks.
Woolworths At Monks Cross retail Park only seems to be getting villians at the mo. But they did have the re-paint Trap-Jaw!!
TTFN
I've found mecha bite Panthor in a local Tescos (Sprowston in Norwich)
But I didn't know he was meant to be out yet.
Hopefully that means Tesco haven't quit the line then
Hello U.K. Fans!
I am sorry, for interrupting your thread. My appologies.
I just wanted to gauge some reactions from all of the fans, who still have
access to "MotU" toys.
I am trying to organize another buy a "MotU" figure day. I am happy to select a date that is going to be the most convienent for fans.
Please, let me know, what you think. I just think with all we have seen at the con we have the opportunity to fight for all that we love about "MotU".
Take it easy,
Darren
Its a nice thought, but Im not sure its all that necessary over here.
The whole idea of buy a figure day was designed because the line was in so much trouble in the USA. It really isn't in any dangers here... Other than if we run out of new figures and Mattel HQ cant get us this new stuff fast enough for toy stores to still be interested.
I guess we could have a 'Buy a He-man variant' day to try clear some of the excess He-mans
I was in Woolies today and they had 2-Bad, Whiplash, SB He-Man, FA Skelly, BG MAA, Adam and Zodac.... No Snakes though

I see Argos is doing 3 for 2 in the new catalogue.....still a nuisance trying to buy anything from the stores....I've still to get the point of Argos. Is the style of the store designed to reduce shopping times? Because if it is...it doesn't work, oh cruel irony.

I live in Exeter and I'm STILL after a Teela, Zodak and a Prince Adam! I go down to Woolworths and Toy Master every couple of days and all I find are the same old figures that've been warming the shelves/pegs for months!
Well so much for Argos
I've got two stores near me, one is even one of their bigger retail park shops, and they have the same 5 old figures between them that they have had for ages. The guy went off and checked what he could but had no idea when the new ones would be in.
Yeah, all the Argos stores near me still have the same old figures they have had for ages now!Well so much for Argos

Argos is basically advertising an item for sale that they don't have which is wrong
Also the catalogue space devoted to MOTU is awful!
I scanned the page for anyone interested.

Wait! That's not a he-man castle
Yep, that's what I was saying only just today. I went into Argos and asked about the new Snake Men, just to be told that they only had a Ram Man! Now doesn't that pong of uselessness to you?Yeah, all the Argos stores near me still have the same old figures they have had for ages now!

which Woolies was that then??
found mecha skeletor at TRU croydon yesterday. no other mecha thingies there though but 6 pegs of snakes and 2 more boxes in the back.
finally got me a rotocast skelly from forbidden planet croydon too. they didnt have he-man though, but skelly was £17 instead of £20 coz the box was slightly damaged.
anyone else found heman towels in woolies?
I've got a sealed spare Prince Adam if you want it - PM me - Doc.I live in Exeter and I'm STILL after a Teela, Zodak and a Prince Adam! I go down to Woolworths and Toy Master every couple of days and all I find are the same old figures that've been warming the shelves/pegs for months!
P.S. Londoners, Brent Cross Toys R Us has the hero and villain Snakemen lines. No Zodak or Fisto and I had to ask them to look for a Rattlor, but there he was in the back...
www.r2dtoys.com have Zodak.Hey guys, sorry to interrupt your discussion, but do you happen to know an online UK store selling Snake Men figures (and Zodak) ?
Cheers !
No sign of Teela actually being released here. (No official release for Evil Lyn, either, although a fair bit of US stock came over.) If you collect loose, I've just throw a few odds 'n' sods up on eBay. Decided to stick to a collection which fits on one shelf...I live in Exeter and I'm STILL after a Teela, Zodak and a Prince Adam! I go down to Woolworths and Toy Master every couple of days and all I find are the same old figures that've been warming the shelves/pegs for months!
No new Masters in Argos York and Selby!
Woolworths (Selby) had 3 TRI-KLOPS figures and a good mix of the other figures too!
Cracking idea!!Its a nice thought, but Im not sure its all that necessary over here.

I'm afraid Toymaster Exeter won't be selling them for much longer, I was in there today and they said that they won't be ordering anymore in, as the ones they have at the moment haven't been going. Mind you they don't have a great choice martial arts he man or mekaneckI live in Exeter and I'm STILL after a Teela, Zodak and a Prince Adam!

I've also noticed that Woolworths Exeter has reduced the amount of display space dedicated to He Man.
