    Uh, I already own 4 sets of the Battle Cat vs. Roton. I bought 2 when they first came out and I found 2 more on clearance at Walmart.

    No, I was just curious as to why you already have 4? Are you building a Squadron of Rotons?

    That is one reason. I tend to buy at least 2 of each MOTU set (exceptions being Battle Bones, Castle Grayskull, and Snake Mountain so far) and keep 1 sealed. I love building these sets, so I will buy extras when they are on sale so I can build them again without taking apart ones I have already assembled. That is one of the reasons I have so many Skeletor Skull sets and 6 Battle Ram sets. I don't have anything displayed yet but having extra sets will also let me make some custom builds if I decide to try that out. But I will have squadrons of vehicles if/when I ever set up a display.

    Plus that version of MerMan makes a good army builder.

    I have 4-6 (can't remember) of that set because I got them super cheap at Ross and on Amazon. I just wanted the figure fodder. Plus, there isn't a Battle Cat in my MOTU-verse; there are battle cats that warriors ride into battle. He-Man has his specific one, but there are others.

    Not ideal but the Battle for Eternia II set is up through Amazon sold by Amazon UK for $32.79.

    Ships one to two months.

    Found Heroes 16 yesterday, or what was left of it anyway, at Meijer. I was able to pick up the Jackals, Kelly and Pepsi-man.

    I'd like to squad build the copper ODST but he and the haunted were picked clean.

    Well, I guess I have to check out Meijer now.

    When I first went looking, I drove to Ohio, Marcus, Ohio following the lead available. I found nothing but three Lockes, side by side, on the shelf.

    Had I gone South daily instead of North originally, I may've found the full box instead just the remnants. Ah well, hopefully, there will be more soon enough. This area was swimming in series fifteen after the first few weeks of sightings.

    Still hoping the news of new set sightings at Kroger and their affiliates pans out for this area as well.

    I live in Ohio. Sure enough, my closest Meijer still had Locke and Decimus.
    Normally I'd go to Target but they stopped carrying Heroes for some reason. And the Halo sets at my local are dwindling in favor of Pokemon.

    I was at this one Monday or Tuesday.

    Got myself into that logic of "well, it's only another eleven miles down the road..." after checking my side of the river. Probably would've covered all of Cincinnati had I not been hunting after work so late in the evening.

    I hit a Kroger Marketplace looking for series 16 or 17 of Halo Heroes. They still had some series 15 leftovers but I did find a Zombie He-man Skeletor Skull for $5 and some other wants:

    Seems I am not the only one striking out at Kroger.

    Probably the universe balancing out for all the Sanghelios figures I found. So many left over Lockes.
