Welcome back anyone who is still out there.

I joined Club Grayskull for He-Ro and he is pretty great.  I love the packaging.   He is still available, but only to members still.

Vultak looks great, but I am okay waiting for a sale and then to combine a bunch of items to save on shipping.  I almost bit on the recent 20% off (25% for Club Grayskull members), but I want to wait a bit longer and see if a better sale shows up with more options.

Target has the sketchbook SyKlone and 80th Anniversary two pack up for preorder, though they have the pictures switched from the descriptions.

I did Club Grayskull as well.  And I got He-Ro and Vultak.  Both are really fun figures, but He-Ro is my favorite of the 2.  I love his armor with that vac metal look.

There are 2 items this month for MOTU on Mattel Creations.  I know one is Hurricane Hordak, knocking off one more figure from the vintage collection.  But I don't know what the second item will be.

Anyone heard anything about what the MOTU item on April 28th might be?

@supercamel-1982 The prevailing belief going around is that it will be something Masterverse.  No idea what, but for some reason the belief that it will alternate between Origins(esque) and Masterverse is going around.  Even though last month it was two Origins(esque) figures.

I didn't realize this board was up and running again. I've re-homed at ArticulatedThoughts.com which is essentially the same people here, with a more practical interface. Not sure I want to split the time between the two, even though this has been my home for over 20 years...

Has there been any word on how the sketchbook series stuff will release in Canada?

Maybe it's the Movie Blade figure they've been showing off?   I haven't seen anything else about where or how that one would be released.   It does look pretty good.   

@joedick I'm starting to think we are going to get screwed on the Sketchbook series.   None of the local etailers (Toy Snowman, DJC Collectibles, etc) are carrying them.  Neither is Amazon or Gamestop.   The only other possible place could be TRU but if you are in Canada you know they are not doing well right now.

So it might be a case of trying to get them online elsewhere, or hope Mattel Creations gets some stock.

Do we know what Monday's Creations exclusive will be? I held off on Vultak so I could bundle him with Hordak and I'm wondering if I should risk the wait with Hordak. Hordak might be more popular and sell out quicker, but on the other hand nothing's sold out too quick recently, even main characters like Rio Blast and Extendar.

@joedick 

I don't think it has been revealed anywhere what Mondays item will be.  A lot of folks speculate it will be Masterverse related, but I don't think anyone has a clue.

I grabbed Hordak today x2 just because he is one of the remaining vintage collection figures.  No way I'm missing that.  But honestly, nothing seems to sell out quickly anymore for Origins or Masterverse. 

So, I'd say you are safe to wait until Monday for Hordak and Vultak.  No guarantees, but as you stated, nothing really sells out anymore, even Extendar, Rio Blast, Vultak, and hell, even Masterverse Panthor.

I remembered that my motu creations membership had access to some exclusive forum. I posted there asking about it and now it's been removed from the calendar. Ten bucks well spent I guess.

Has anyone else found Origins figures to be fragile?  My Scareglow's leg snapped right off the other day when I was reposing and then my ToG Mikey (not Origins I know, but same plastic and all) fell off the 3rd shelf up on a bookcase onto carpet with padding underneath and his leg also snapped off.  I haven't had this problem with Masterverse or even the older MOTUC figures (though I know there were some recurring issues with some figures like Green Goddess).

Looks like I will be replacing Scareglow and Mikey.  Maybe Scareglow will be one of the rereleases in a cartoon collection case later on?

this might be a stupid question, but did it just come off the peg? I think that’s by design that the figures can be disassembled. If it snapped though, then yeah

I got a teaser e-mail about a "back in stock" sale for Origins on Mattel Creations.    It looks like there is Sy-Klone Demo Man, Two-Bad two pack, Extendar and Rokkon -  listed as "members only".   I don't know if the sale opens to non-members at 11 am or not,  but if you wanted a second crack at any of those...

@panthercult It was supposed to be Club Grayskull members only until tomorrow.   However as of now only Syklone is the only one still available.

Yeah... I saw that.   They were all available for almost a full hour and then all but Sy-Klone sold out.   I didn't realize the "members only" period was a full day -  I assumed it was just an hour early like Hasbro does.
