Besides BBTS, I think you can get the Fan Favorite Re-Releases like Tri Klops at Entertainment Earth as well both individually and in a case with the Cartoon/Filmation figures.
You can also get them at Paulmartstore. They cost a bit more, but they have Free Shipping I believe. And they are reputable. A lot of folks on here and other forums and YouTube use Paulmart.
And as far as brick-and-mortar retail, here in the US they are getting them at Target and Wal-Mart along with the Cartoon/Filmation figures.
Those wrestling figures really did have awesome accessories.
Has Mattel announced their SDCC exclusives? I really need to know if CC She-Ra and Swiftwind are on the way.
Ton of MOTU stuff just piled up in my BBTS POL. New cartoon collection looks lovely - I swore I wouldn't go all in on these, but man, Stratos is my boy and every time I order one figure I'm like... well why not the wave.
(Funny thing--I always loved Stratos most as a figure and I just remembered why. One of my earliest memories is a childhood birthday party where my best friend AND my dad both gave me Stratos, and that was how I learned I have massive anxiety and some mutated form of Catholic guilt, cos the PANIC of needing to return a figure from my best bud or my dad sent my little half-formed brain into a tailspin I remember to this day. But also that's probably why gray flying monkey dude is my favorite.)
Seven minutes to go until Extendar is up for order.
Anyone else getting ready to try and get him?
That was so much easier than Hot Wheels Optimus Prime, both on my nerves and my wallet.

Congrats.
I was able to snag Extendar but once again MC was playing games. Got through most of the order process and then got the dreaded "can't ship to your country please check out as a guest for shipping to your country."
So I signed out and had to do it all again, but got one.
That Optimus Prime was a terrible price. I just couldn't justify it to myself, especially because, bascially, it is just a diecast metal G1 toy in Hot Wheels scale (1:64?) and didn't come with a trailer. Yikes!
Oh and it was $120Cdn plus shipping so yeah no thanks. I'll put that money towards the rumoured Commander Class Studio Series 86 Prime later this year.
I wanted the HW OP for novelty reasons, and I’m an easy mark for the character and exclusives. But it certainly isn’t the end of the world that I got shut out. I really could have gone either way. I would have paid the $93 and watched the figure appreciate, or do what I’m doing now and move on from the whole experience. It’s no big loss.
I completely forgot about Extendar but he was still available almost an hour later, so I picked one up. Still salty about Rokkon but haven't had bad luck lately with these.
I can't believe the stupid captcha asked me to click on all the buses and showed me 3 buses and a Volkswagen mini van/bus. I ended up clicking on it and it validated...
I was able to get Extendar earlier as well. It went really quick and easy.
Out of the 13 we still need, I think I want Rio Blast the most. I always liked the vintage figure, and I really want to make sure we get him. I'm pretty sure Two Bad is coming. A SDCC Exclusive where you can make Tuvar and Baddrha into Two Bad, and then a regular release of just Two Bad later on.
I hope I can get that split Two-Bad.
I have about equal affinity to Rio Blast as I do Extendar, which is lukewarm. But I’d get him because he’s the next best thing to a Buttons McBoomBoom I’m sure I’ll never own.
My wife ordered Extendar for me today. I was super busy with work and there was no way I could sit in front of my computer to do it myself. She's a good woman. Poor thing had to deal with the MattyCollector-style white screen of death a bit, and a Captcha that refused to load so she had to keep starting over. But eventually the order went through.
Not thrilled with the final price to get one stupid figure to Canada - but I'm gonna deal with it for the final two releases of this line I really need (Rio and Two-Bad) and call it a collection.

Yep I would say that you must be doing something wrong when not just international buyers, but US based buyers are complaining about the trickle of releases resulting in everyone having to pay shipping over and over again. However it seems to be another situation of complaints falling on deaf ears since it doesn't look like Mattel/Creations is going to change how they release these figures.
