    Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you'll be able to get one later.

    I don't follow this line or thread closely.

    Currently the only US store that carried the origins line was Walmart based upon what i've read. That has changed or will change in mere days from now.

    IS that accurate?

    Whoa! I found the Sky Sled in my country! And its the SAME price as a Hasbro Marvel Legends and Hasbro Star Wars Black figure! Its insane! It has Adam too!

    Yup! In 2021, MOTU Origins will not be a Walmart exclusive!

    Thank you :) 

    As someone that doesn't collect this scale of figure but has moderate interest in the line....the lack of availability and the prices I've seen on ebay are *drastically* reducing my interest. I can't be the only fringe or casual fan that feels that way.

    No problem! Tbh I initially had no interest in the line because I was worried that retailers (in my country) would be charging them @$25-28 each.

    So you imagine my shock or how pleased I was when they were cheaper.

    I’m still in abit of shock today because the Sky Sled with Adam costs the same Hasbro Marvel Legends! The plastic feels more solid than some of Hasbro’s figures too.

    Needless to say, I grabbed a set and will decide if I should get a second one for the villains.

    I don’t know how Mattel did it with the pricing. The nostalgia value is really attractive to me! Oh yeah, and the figures are pretty fun! Had a mini battle of sorts with my kids! X)

    I'm not sure if this is the right place or not but a got a vintage Thunder Punch He-Man from ebay. He was my favorite when I was little and I can't wait to have him again.

    I think most of us won’t mind! Just post pictures of your hauls and collection!

    If photobucket didn’t change, I would post more pictures here. :) 

    That’s kinda expensive (compared to my country)...where are you based in?

    If I’m not mistaken, wave didn’t make it to my country...we had wave 1 then jumped to straight to wave 3...darn it...

    So the Sky Sled went up at Wal-Mart.ca and bam, on its way. One more from Wave 1 to add to my miniscule collection. Now if I can just nab Teela, Beast Man, Evil-Lyn, Man-At-Arms and He-Man. Then all of Wave 2 and 3 as apparently Canada has seen all of these recently.

    If my Walmarts are like the rest, they are full of wave 1 figures and don’t want to put wave 2/3 out till they sell some of the wave 1 guys. Just my theory. I am greatly anticipating wave 2/3 as well.

    ^This. I think my local stores are going to HAVE to put the wave 1 figures on clearance to get rid of them. There are tons and they have been motionless for weeks.
