Mouse Jaw is on sale today for 15 bucks. That was low enough for me to grab him. Of course, now I’ll be compelled to complete Metalhead. Target, you clever bastard.
Misfit thankfully texted me when he posted that, so I was able to grab one myself on Sunday!
I also stopped at the Target I'd found Donnie, MAA, & He-Man yesterday on my way to work, and they had MAA, He-Man...........and LEO!!!
The prices could be nicer for what they are, but for what they are, they're fun as hell.
Not looking forward to exclusives, but hopefully at least Slash drops like Mouse-Jaw eventually, too.
I like some of the figures in this line, but I just know that I have to pass on them due to space constraints and the fact that many of the figures are cardbacks and I hate having to damage the packaging in order to open them.
I am jealous of you guys getting that plant Moss Man, the Krang/Megator figure, Sla'ker and that Metalhead build-a-figure.
Once you start collecting a line, you end up then finding out about all these other lines that exist, many of them appealing in ways that your current line appeals to you, and you have to exercise a lot of discipline to just avoid getting into all of these other lines even though you kind of want to.
Welp, got my preorder in for Krang from WM CollectorCon. Glad I don't want Moss Man, so I was able to get in and checked out pretty quick, because apparently the preorders were sold out in about 2 minutes? And even quicker for the MOTU Origins stuff? What a shitshow.
F***. I forgot to check at 9, and he's gone. SOAFB.
@tenime Here's hoping you have a local WM that they actually show up at. I'm in Canada, so nabbing one and shipping to a parcel forwarder seems like the only way to get these.
Why can't they all be 'fan channel' exclusives after a few months or so? Let Target and WM screw up distribution for a set time, then let us actually buy them from Gamestop or BBTS. Such bullshit.
Yep, store exclusives & their proponents can all go take a flying leap. Hate 'em.
I'm sure they'll pop back into stock. Just keep checking on them.
I forgot about this whole WM "event" this morning. No worries, though. I have a feeling these crossover figures won't be hard to find.
I agree with ashtalon. I think it will be another Moss Man situation where people freak out to buy them and then find them everywhere a month later. Found a bunch of $17 Moss Mans today, speaking of. Missed out on the drops this morning, I'll likely pick up Krang if I spot him but really I only need the turtle boys.
Completely forgot these were going up for sale today and missed them. Hopefully this is another case of Walmart's preordering being a mess but stock being plentiful. Really only wanted Krang but would've got Moss Man if I could get both. (I got everything I wanted from yesterday's preorder but missed everything today. Oops.)
I was busy with work and forgot about the drop. Only was interested in Krang for the whole event, but I'm not going to sweat it. If Walmart is ordering their exclusives in the same quantities as Target then this thing should be easy to come by.
Yeah... the Krang was literally the only figure from this entire line that I was actually interested in having - but I couldn't get on during Haulathon... so I'll have to hope it makes to store shelves eventually or go without.
I had set an alarm and put the two Turts of Greyskull exclusives on my list. At 2 PM my time loaded the list. Added to cart and hit complete order. Very smooth. I thought well shoot this is probably going to be a breeze for everyone. Really surprised it gave fans trouble. Come on. It probably will be plentiful whenever Walmart decides to put these on the pegs. But come on. I think exclusives like these shouldn’t be offered at “a-thons” like these since the entire line is 24 releases with the BAF. Just sell em and not in some preorder event.
This darn line has me wanting to get Origins figures. I just love the toy-etic nature of these. I’m so late to the party so getting these things will be costly. I did pick up Greyskull for $60. In London I saw Snake mountain for £129. It was just cool to see the box at Forbidden Planet. I did see the Snake Man armor M-a-A and Teela along with the Filmation Skeletor and Man at Arms. Almost got the Snake Men figures. Saw Turks of Greyskull wave one too. Well Leo, He-Man, and MaA.
I think I want Mer-Man. I’m torn as the up-coming Deluxe mutated Mer-Man with Slither Querns snake torso may also come with his regular leg torso. Then I would have Mer-Man as we pretty much have Beast Man in this series when you remove the armor. Mer-Man just looks cool.
Thwipp!
I'm sure the whole point of this line is to get folks to buy Origins who aren't already, lol. And since they're Walmart, I wouldn't expect them to be as plentiful as the stuff that's coming to Target.
