    I've never seen a Sky Sled anywhere in my area. Only recently has there been Battle Cats.

    I think the issue is that your country is so big! I mean the sizes of some of your states are bigger than my country! LOL!

    Anyway, I’m kinda bummed out that I missed out on MAA and Teela...drats...

    Yeah, and I’m in one of the biggest ones fml. I wish I could trade you maa and Teela for a sled but that would end up costing as much or more than us just buying from scalpers.

    This is the nicest reply I have gotten on TFW in a long time. I totally appreciate it! I was able to get one from a friend in another state and I'm glad I did. I don't see this thing getting to my area for some time. Shelves are bare everywhere and they take their sweet time restocking. I can rest easy until they get wave 2 someday. lol :D

    Its nothing man! During my time here, I used to trade stuff and give presents to posters from my country. Its just that shipping rates has gotten more expensive in recent years...

    With regards to “nicest reply”...I get what you mean...IMO this place was more friendlier in the past...but nowadays...

    Oh well, let’s just leave it at there! Happy holidays dude! :)

    got Skeletor for xmas and I am head over heels! I had and sold Classics Skeletor because it didn't feel like Skeletor, same with 200x Skeletor, but this, this is perfect, and I will be at the very least collecting the Evil Warriors, the size and quality is great too - so much better in the flesh, exceeded expectations

    I got Thunder Punch He-Man's shield in yesterday. So now he's complete but some of the chrome is a bit worse for wear. Any suggestions on how to touch it up?

    I recommend cleaning it with soap and water to remove any dirt/fingerprints/etc. Then, paint it using a Molotow chrome marker. Then, leave it UNTOUCHED for at least a week to cure. Finally, give it a coat of Future/Pledge floor polish to protect the finish.

    @artimus prime and others completed some fairly exhaustive tests to figure out how to properly use the Molotow markers. The results are impressive. There’s a whole thread on it!

    From He-Man.org: sightings of wave 3 in Chicago IL, Shorewood IL, and maybe one other location at TARGET!

    Let the hunt began!

    Mattel says they'll be doing a restock of wave 2 in like January or February, but it's kind of a crapshoot at this point. I only saw Beast Man, Man-at-Arms, Evil-Lyn, and Teel once (which was when I bought them). Since then, it's been nothing but Skeletors and the occasional He-Man. I'm really hoping Mattel stays true to their "everyone will be able to find what they want" promise once these become available in all stores, because I'm really worried I'll miss out on some great figures.

    Still nothing from my local Wal-Marts. Their website and Brickseek both say the stores are filled with them. They are decidedly not. I only need Mr T.

    Checked the local Target after work no figures or much of anything in the toy section but I did find this.

    Funny, I happened upon one at Walmart today. It's a cool little toy, I like that its jaw opens like the original.
