    Really wish they'd find a way to do smaller stuff, at least like the Mega Laser and Stilt Stalkers as a starting point for the quirkier sets.

    Ok I am sick of waiting and the delays, I went for this haha! I just got paid for a job
    I have Rattlor on pre-order from BBTS and Amazon but it constantly gets pushed back…

    You can find Rattlor also on Walmart.com for $30, but this jr-toys is a couple bucks less. He can be found for around that price, but for those of us who’s like him at the lowest price and want to support BBTS and EE etc, it’s been frustrating.

    Thanks for this heads up megalodon!

    The days of accessory packs, of any kind a long gone in the toy world. Mattel has been slipping in the vintage weapons pack pieces here and there, some in the MOTWWEU, for a while now. Stuff like the cliff climber and jet sled will most likely be some how worked into deluxe waves. They could have one repaint and one with the new stuff, like Battle Armor Faker and Cliff Climber Man-at-Arms.

    Well, Hasbro just did Transformers RotB gear as Battlemasters. But yeah, I don't care how we get it.

    That's what they keep doing with my Whiplash. Kobra and Rattlor were easy to get for me and were also available on Creations for awhile, so I feel they dont even need a re-run. But Whiplash has been elusive. I wish they would re-run Whiplash too or at least fulfill the original month's old pre-order.

    Just ran into the toy store again at our closest mall and this time there was a shelf full of Duplicos, both brown and blonde eyebrow versions. I only have the brown so now I got me a blonde one as well. 400 pesos which is the equivalent of about $20.

    Oh man! That really is encouraging.
    Unfortunately I can’t go to stores being in not good health, so I hope there will be some not-so-crazy online opportunities soon!

    Hey no problem Cosmic but even though that is a great idea to support BBTS & EE at this point in my life I have to get a good deal when I can especially when there are deals to be made but they are few and far between I always wonder how many people here have multiples of figures like Randor,Rattlor,Kobra Khan an even one's like Slamurai/Snake Trooper etc. and are HOARDING them or when they find a figure like Duplico they have to buy 5-6 or more the sell on E-Bay not a cool thing to do on a site where ALOT of people need that figure and don't want to get robbed by a fellow collector

    This is why I wish things like these would be WORTHLESS because then you would be amazed how fast you would find certain figures

    Hasbro has done figures with accessories for Transformers, but I think they only did two, and the last one was a couple of years ago. Also, Transformers has a bit more versatility with what they can do with characters. As much of a melting pot as MOTU is Headmasters and Targetmasters just wouldn't work.

    I hear you, I get my figures from a variety of places, always try supporting the stores that are important first, but I have to watch my money very much… Or if I’m too slow w ordering… I use Amazon etc too

    Rattlor has been annoying, I regret not jumping on him when he first showed up, but I can’t always decide quickly!

    I hope not too many of us are “hoarders”, it reduces my fun when things are *really* hard to get and if you need to be always on top of it. My OCD-ish psyche actually doesn’t like having figures double, so I’m not one of them. I only have two each of all the army builders, and might get a second Rattlor for the neck / head to swap around. But that can wait!

    Well not to say anyone here but there are "fans" or "collectors" that just because they have a figure like Slamurai shows up in CA or NY that they feel the need to charge $40-50 for a $17-20 figure those people make me sick...Just like Duplico in Mexico they have ALOT of them going there but not so much in the USA? I wonder why.....

    Someone who sells a $20 figure for $40 is only making $5 above retail.

    That's a good point. People who resale figures have to factor in not only the shipping cost but also they cost of going out and looking for the figure and then a little extra for themselves. $30 to $40 is, I think, reasonable for a core figure.

    Not true I know ALOT of re-sellers that go to the store etc. and buy one or two for them and the rest to sell and they know all the angles to cut expenses for them and get the most profit out of their sales. The one's you talk about are amateurs...

    They are the one's that add gas,packaging,time and my favorite "Finder's Fee"...

    I don't know, but the art on the back suggests it's not.

    It's a new cover. It looks like it pays homage to the original (I can see Skeletor's sword raised and Grayskull on back on right) but there are elements that don't match. For example, you can see Manny's gun on the left side of last photo.

    Besides post says "Story @joshuaskywriter" .

    The packaging for Mini-comic Man-E-Faces looks like it's a Mattel Creations Exclusive, even though it is a retail exclusive.

    I wish they would sort out general distribution before releasing all these “exclusives”.
