    Washington Collectors

    With the deletion of the Washington Collectors thread, I am starting another one. Booyah!

    Hopefully the news on the homepage means that the SA He-Man and TS Stratos will be available to the He-Store soon, as I would buy a case of them to support the store and to get the figures. I kinda feel sorry for those people who paid $$$ for them on Ebay.....

    BTW, has anyone seen the Marvel Legends Series 6 out anywhere?

    I have a case ordered from the He-Store and a case from AFX. I am still trying to get a trip going to drive into Canada for the figures.

    Thanks for starting another thread, guess ours met the quota of posts. Guess I need to find that penny jar I buried in the back yard for the case of Snake Asst. If anyone else finds a place to purchase MOTU, let your fellow collectors know.

    Agreed. If I see them anywhere, I'll let you guys know. It's not extremely likely unless TRU down here also gets them as the only other place they've ben spotted aside from Aldis and Shopko is Media Play, which we don't have. I think I'll just wait for the He-Store to get them in rather than have to hassle with going to CN and putting up with customs and the driving.

    New Motu Found

    I saw mini busts today at Suncoast here in Bellingham...they were $8.99 and not that cool I thought. Anyways they had Skeletor, Triklops, and Stratos

    Yeah, not too impressed with the mini busts and was rather disappointed in the size of the Skeletor statue. But, thanks for the heads up. One person's trash is another person's treasure.

    Don't know if anyone here collect Star Wars figures or not, but the new figures that are on the old style cards are out in the area now. I saw Lobot at Wal-Mart, and Obi Wan, Han and Leia at K-Mart yesterdat in Port Orchard and Bremerton respectively.

    Glad to hear that you're getting your SW fix. Just let folks know, I'm looking for this Kasey has a store that his Mom runs at Enumclaw Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge. Which I work at, I should have mentioned he was there, but been preoccupied with work and not spending too much time online later. So, I missed the opprtunity to pick this up before the signing. Let me know if I can keep my eyes out for anything, going shopping on my birthday(Wednesday).

    Did Langley, Chiliwack, Surrey, and Abbostford today in B.C. and didn't find any MOTU. Langley had a TRU but no MOTU anywhere

    A friend scored me a Hordak bust last night. I am pretty excited.

    I have to say though half the reason I asked him to get me one was I was thinking the figure would never get made - and then here they show a figure of him.

    Figures.
     
  11. Capt_Piett said:
    Well, we still don't know if the figures will actually be relased, as those are just unfinished 2-Ups, with the exception of Clawful. I highly doubt though that Mattel would bring the 2 Ups and go to the trouble of setting up a display if they weren't planning on releasing the figures in some capacity, but we shall see. At least it's still a killer bust, none-the-less.

    If it was Evil Lyn, I was about to jump in my car.

    I need another mini to go with Hordak

    I've seen the minis at Suncoast in Silverdale, and I wasn't that impressed with them. Although, I may buy them to show support for the line and hopefully show Suncaost that there is interest in the MotU so they might elect to carry future waves of the toys....

    I got a free Evil lYn mini not micro bust, I just don't get busts I think they are lame. Oh well.

    KB has a killer sale, buy two figures at $4.99 a pop and get a third for a penny. The one in BUrlington has a TON of Orkos, SB Skeletor, SB He-Man, One Ram Man redeco and one Sky Strike STrats red carded.

    Hm...I might need to make a stop by the ones at Tacoma Mall and South Center sometime to see if they have anything of interest. I still wonder if there's any truth to the rumor that was going on a while back as to whether or not they'll get the Snakemen in...

    I hope you were just drunk when you posted but do I understand correctly that Ross has MOTU for $2.99 a figure?

    This might be old news, but I wandered into a Shopko the other day, and found the new Snake Men figures (General, Snake SKeletor, et al.) First that I've seen them in stores...I thought I would have to order these online. Hope this helps....Jason

    All right I'm going to go check it out although who knows what I'll find in that store. This one up here in Bellingham has the stickiest floors I have ever stepped on every time I go. I think they want you to spend more time in there looking around so they do that to their floors.

    EDIT:

    I can confirm Ross has $2.99 figures although as you can see below I cleaned them out. I did leave the vehicles though:
