    Or as I do, you live in a major hotbed of scalpers.

    recreating the mold isn't free, that cost gets trickled down to the customer. And it wasn't restoring/fixing an existing mold, they had to create an entirely new mold which is one of the most expensive aspects of figure production

    I'm seeing a pattern, a sea of Grapples, Snapdragon and the rest of the stuff you mentioned. I also read that Siege Elita-1 is shelf warming(?). Yet in other parts of the world they are like what da EF, like a search for Waldo. Dumped all and distributed half hazeardly to all the 50 states :mad:

    I haven’t seen anything in the Walmarts at Thomas Rd. or Mesa Riverview. Riverview has Kingdom now though

    So maybe Grotusque and Misfire down the line?

    They're the two I'm missing from TR, and the aftermarket prices are a bit much.

    As far as we know there's just the two waves, consisting of only the characters that were G1 Headmasters.

    Not quite the same number (I avoid Walmart like the plague... [​IMG] ) but same experience.

    I haven't seen a single HM in my few WM travels. (Only go when absolutely necessary. Target's always safer and cleaner.)

    I have as many as I can trying to find MotU and MotWWE. Flocked Panthor will be just like these.
