2 Argos stores
Woolworths
The Entertainer
Forbidden Planet
John Lewis

It's a shame that the Nottingham Toy Master closed, otherwise I might have found one in there!

I'll let you all know either way what I find!

Count me in please.
A friend of mine has gone to the states for 3 weeks and I have told her to buy all the Teelas she finds. I don't have my hopes up though!
If by some miracle she does find some, then don't worry they will be shared here first!
So Blackiecats, yeah if you see one please pick her up for me.

HAS ANYONE ELSE SEEN A TEELA IN THE UK YET?

I'm definitely after a Teela too if you can get hold of one! Thanks for the offer!

Edd

nothing new at all around here

I'd love to get my hands on a teela that's not insanely priced. I got one from america for £23!!! Typically I sold it on. Being a student that's way outa my price range for a he-man toy. I'm gonna be on the look out for any over the next couple of weeks. I'm down in Scarbrough the last week of the month kung fuing so I'll be sure to raid all the toy shops there and report back to you guys with the spoils.

I've got a spare cross he-man battle tank now and soon to be a normal carded cross he-man that I'll be willing to trade or sell on. If anyone is interested PM me or they'll find their way on to the evil that is ebay

Noticed Woolworths have had some different figures in to the usual suspects, mainly:

Spin Blade He Man


Slime Pits reduced to £8.49 in Woolworths
Samauri Battle Cat reduced to £6.49 in Woolworths
Normal figures same price.
Haven't seen any more Teelas at all. Must have been a one off.

No Snakemen in Woolworths, Exeter or Torquay yet.

Toymaster in Exeter, has about 50 figures all He Man variants and the odd Mekaneck

JUST SPOTTED TEELA IN TOYS R US PLYMOUTH

The new Littlewoods "INDEX" catalogue came out today and since I work in Argos we had a look through it to check out the would be competition
I of course went straight to the toy section in the book but was very disapointed to find MOTU totally absent!!!
We have our new book out next week and as yet im not aware how many (if any) MOTU items will be in it.
Fingers crossed other stores dont follow Index's poor example.

Toys R Us York has the Mechas and Snake Panthor. No regular snake figures though

I went into the Sutton in Ashfield Woolworths today and they had quite a lot of figures in! Probably the most I've ever seen in that store!

Here's alist of what they had. The amount are approximations as they are from memory.

Mer-Man x 2
Evil Lyn x4
Orko (U.S. version) x 1
Orko (Euro version) x 2
Trapjaw x 3
Tri Klops x 1
Ram Man x 2
Mekanek x 1
Skeletor x 6 (this figure just said 'Skeletor' on it, but it wasn't the normal coloured figure. He had gold armor and the head of the havoc staff was yellow)

Can anyone tell me which variant the Skeletor was I saw?

There were also 2 different He-man variants which they had quite a few of each of those!

No Teela's though I'm afraid, but that's just my local Woolworths. Maybe I'll have more luck in Nottingham?

Can anyone tell me which variant the Skeletor was I saw?

HE MAN WILL BE IN THE NEW ARGOS CATALOGUE, there already advertising Return of the Snakemen figures on their website, on a buy 1 get 1 half price offer. I'm sure they will be selling them.

I've always thought Argos was the better of the two catalogues, Index has always seemed behind the times and expensive to me and more downmarket compared to Argos.

They were still selling Finding Nemo toys in their last catalogue, when Argos had already stopped this range and moved onto the next big thing. Has anyone ever noticed that when a big film comes out, the most recent example, being Van Helsing, Argos update their current instore catalogues with inserts and release mini brochures. While Index would rather wait 6 months after the film has been released to advertise the figures in their latest catalogues. They'll probably advetise the Snakemen in the spring summer catalogue next year. A year after their release.

Does anyone know if the commemorative series would ever be released in the UK.

I asked Mattel guy about Teela, and he's 'chasing an answer'
She definately hasnt had an official release. But maybe because people asked, they ordered in a few USA wave 3 heroes *shrugs* Who knows what they're doing..

Anyhow, the Mecha cats are out, and so are the deluxes. I got mine yesterday

still no snake anything around my way

I wasn't there myself but my mate who also collects the toys called me up while he was there and asked me what I wanted!
Sounds like they got 4 cases of each of the basic figures, heros and villians (he said there were 4 Kobra Khans) There were only two Fisto's left, now there are none as he bought one for me and one for himself.
He also said there was the new deluxe figures and mecka bite Panthor and Battle cat.
So if you are in the Gateshead/Newcastle area get down there!

Damn, I'm going there next week, bet they'll have sold out.


Al.

My local woolworths (which has NEVER had new MOTU before) has the USA Orko and Smash blade He-man assortment. Unfortunately, they're the cases that had Mekaneck as a replacement for Teela, so seeing those two on US cards (with the action chip sticker) doesnt necessarily mean they will have / had Teela Obviously some are getting the earlier version of the assortment, but if you see an action chip sticker Mek on the shelves, then they probably havent got Teela. Why we are getting these now is anyones guess. They must be unsold stock from the US

Picked up a Teela and Zodak in Bristol Woolies.

Happy days.

Anthony, what colour card is Zodak on? If it's red, could this mean that there is a new assortment with both Zodak and Teela in it? Seems odd that they'd both show up at the same time.

Anyone been to TRU Birmingham recently? I'm back in the Midlands now and hope to head over there soon. I'll hopefully be checking out Wolverhampton Woolies tomorrow.

Edd

It was a red carded Zodak.

I'm no expert in case ratio's and such like so I can't really comment, prefering to leave that to others.

I just do what Roy Walker says ... "Say what you see" ...
