Roboto and most of the origins are still rrp on amazon UK, not sure the shipping to Canada though. I'd imagine robot to getting his mini comic colors sooner or later (megaconstrux had him in those colors).

Well, for this here Canadian, Roboto is out of stock. There's Man-Y-Faces at least, but it will amount to over 60$ can shipped for me.

So, nope.

At least my friend could find the C64 MAXI at a "reasonable" price.

I'd assume BBTS ships relatively cheaper than that, to Canada:

Note: The Origins one is a preorder, due in November. They do have the Classics one though.

Dear walmart.ca.
Please tell me.
DAFOK R U SMOKING?

...and a free MOTU mini Stinkor (Any of the MOTU fans want it, let me know).

So apparently if Eternia hits 10K they're going to include King Grayskull with all orders. Seems a little desperate and sucks for those of us that were part of that initial surge thinking we were getting a figure rarer than Eternia itself. I think if it hits 10K they should announce something special for the early backers.

Doesn't suck for those that backed early but keep getting unbacked. I've got less than a week to try to buy it now.

Only a few days left to back Eternia and it still needs 1500 orders to hit the 10K goal. I'm hopefull for a last minute surge, but it's hard to say.

I've technically backed five times :/ will give it one last go.

In for a penny... In hopes the penny doesn't get refunded. I've backed again. I'll see if dissapointment happens this time around. Trying by PayPal split over three payments as I figure it's more hassle for Mattel to straight up cancel.

Found an all-stars Scott Hall for a reasonable price so he will join my masters of wwe as razor claws ramon, chica.

Eternia picked up some last minute momentum. Only needs to gain 1,157 orders in the next 16 hours to hit 10K at the moment. Could be doable.

I think I'm officially a number, they didn't refund me an hour after paying.

But Mattel I want to be a number damnit.

Still needs 940 orders in the last 4-ish hours to hit 10K. Probably wont happen, but it was a good effort! Hasbro should still be happy with their results, currently at 181% of their original funding number.

Edit: Picked up 5 more while I was typing.

Hasbro?

Too many damn crowdfunds to keep track of at the same time.

862 to go.

Well, it was a good effort, but Eternia came up 720 orders short of 10K, ending at 9280. Oh well, still looking forward getting this.

Maybe Mattel will be good sports and throw in the final bonus anyway.
For the very high price the thing go for, it would be a nice thing to do.

Eight hundred spent on a six hundred toy, gotta hate tax. Splitting payments was a nice touch though, now to see how much of a dent three Weird Al tickets are tomorrow. Expensive month for sure.

Interesting designs for Series Stridor and (not quite) battlebones. Liking the green 'slime pit' colored skeletor though.

I was thinking that. Considering how much they exceeded the initial backers threshold. Two extra figures won't break the bank for them.

So I got into the Maseverse figures lately both because I got lucky with some prices and because I liked the New Eternia stuff which hid some gorgeous classic versions of characters. And then the 40th anniversary He-Man came out and I was a bit excited and curious. But when I saw it, I really disliked the face. I know it's a classic, but that more simian headsculpt inspired by the original toy will always look really off to me.
