    I promise you, that is where it is supposed to be. Like I said, they got sloppy with them. It may be hidden in the seam itself but it is there. Remember when that first guy claimed there wasn't a code on the bags he found too?

    Also, that big white print is on all of them. 20210618_165915.jpg

    Yeah the banished gear don't fit on humans. Heads are just different enough that it won't work. The open faced Brute helm only works because it's opened faced.

    I suspect I will continue with the Helioskrill helmet. The other options require heads I haven't to spare. The Helioskrill helmets I can bulk buy without resulting in a bunch of headless spartans, marines or brutes.

    :redface2: :banghead:  Soo done with chasing exclusives.
    Thinking that metal detector hobby I’ve been considering is closer to being a reality.
    Toys are getting fucking expensive and a pita
    To obtain.

    Just like the Battle Cat build set (which is still in stock as well as the Battle Ram), the Skeletor Havok Staff and this Halo 20-pack, will eventually be available and in stock. Remember, there is a global shortage of materials and a global shipping delay (on top of increasing costs for materials and shipping). This may be one of the factors why the latest MOTU Heroes set was not completely fulfilled, hopefully there is more on the way (unless Mattel decided to ship more to other vendors like Walmart/Target/etc). Hopefully, they realize how popular the individual figures are.

    I am just glad there is an online option to buy MC at the moment. Amazon may be Mattel's best option of providing the online availability of MC product (sure beats Mattel Creations or Matty Collector).

    Oh no. Hope I don’t miss it, I really want this thing…
    Unless I already missed it and it’s out of stock forever

    I'm pretty sure it's still in that listing limbo phase where they put it up but there's no stock yet.

    All good points. I just hope they don't "move on" from the production due to supply shortages and geta long with their other scheduled items.

    I'm sure they've learned their lesson from the Series 5 demand/supply and Amazon will be flooded with these to the point of them being discounted eventually....right?

    Yeah. Like SMLP mentioned, Battle Cat was originally listed as "currently unavailable" before finally going live for orders. The listing is probably just a placeholder for the time being. With any luck, there will be plenty.

    I'm hoping for the sake of those who missed out this is the case. I also wonder how much an issue it will be with/if Walmart didn't pick them up for the Fall season. I was thinking as well if Walmart passing on the MotU advent calander was enough to tank it.

    That’d be nice if it wasn’t overly exclusive. That pack has a few characters I’ve wanted for a while. Plus can’t go wrong with Mister Chief lol

    If you have a Meijer store near you they are doing some Fall re-sets. I saw few Mega Construx things today. One had the Spartan and Brute weapons customizer packs. I got the single Spartan set they had. They also had a bunch of the Halo Banshee Breakout sets for $12.99. Two other stores I checked only had the Banshee set and nothing else.

    Decided to slam my Infinite Warthog onto the new HW monster truck chassis. Pretty good!

    The Infinite Warthogs are $5 at Walmart. Picked three up.

    NOTE. They were not on the shelves, but rather a sales rack near the toy section.
