MOTU

Do you collect other toys besides Transformers? Maybe you've got a Masters of the Universe collection you'd like to show off, or maybe you like Thundercats, Voltron, G.I.Joe, Power Rangers, Star Wars, Wrestling, or any of the various comic book toy lines. Please keep the discussions here to non-Transformers toy lines.

Lord grasp and teroar have dropped to £10 each here and cartoon collections down to origins original price £15. Doesnt make sense for smyths to not have he-man and skeletor available which might increase sales but not the first or last time they be weird like that.

Clearance over there, almost impossible to buy over here. This is why people hate random Walmart exclusives like this, they sell out in seconds online and stores only get a couple if any at all.

Man, the preview night stuff is really cool! Rio Blast and Modulok at last! That Masterverse Roboto looks amazing! Finally a Masterverse Panthor! Mutant Ninjor is WILD! And it looks like the Snakes Lair playset is going to be revealed so orders should be starting soon on that!

So snake lair is looking as huge as Eternia, damn. To say it was one of my most least wanted things from the vote it's convinced me to buy it. I still think it would have been better as a retail release/kids toy even it was some what smaller had to buy rattle trap seperatley.

Lots of good stuff, the TMNT cross overs i'm not fussed about the new turtles but that shredder looks way better than the first version, king hiss/foot soldier is likely a tripple purchase. the upcoming rattlor looks great and mekanek! fingers crossed still for a hun and puple dragon reuse of Ninjor.

new masterverse looking good and blade is another off the movie checklist with out overpaying for the other release. Sheras 40th but no hints of a castle or Adora (yet).

and teasing Motu x Thundercats is just mean.

meanwhile hasbro has another recolored Prime*..smh. Not that it looks like i'll have money for transformers at any point soon at this rate.

*sees orange recolored prime and thinks, I want that :/

Definitely plan to snag a lot of those previews. I remember getting my original Modulok and dumping him out of his box on the floor. Look forward to doing it again hopefully.

Seems to be a fair bit of complaints or criticism over the new snake lair...with people saying they would rather have voted frisght zone (not specifying cartoon or toy version) and that it's not what they voted for.

I figure the snake lair that people have voted for has been on the back of enough packaging art that it will be released in that form eventually and likely link up to this snake lair. Still will be weird being a bigger centre piece than eternia and it's looking a lot harder sell than eternia was.

Yeah, it does feel like a bait and switch for those that voted for it (I voted for the Freight Zone, how many snake themed playsets do we need?). I'll probably still order it, but I'm not all that optimistic. Having a vehicle just hanging off the side is a really strange move, would have rathered it had some sort of internal bay that it could be rolled out of.

Two two bads arrived today, the mini comic is kinda just left on top of the box of the figure which is a bit weird (and prone to damage)

So apparently the backlash on the Snake Lair was pretty loud because the project has been delayed and they're taking it back to the drawing board.

Yeagh, I thought that was going to be the case after all the crying over it. I still think the voted for version would have appeared at retail even if it released under the tmnt reptile wars line.

I got around to opening and displaying my lightyear (for my new adventures of heman playset) and son of a lightyear -it is missing the battery compartment cover.

Smyths are stocking cartoon spikor, cartoon clawfull an vypor -not sure what the 4th/repack figure is in that wave but definitely watching the website for when they are buyable.

Smyths also stocking the she-ra wave (five figures?)

https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toy ... SM06010173

they seem to have a 2 euro price hike for Ireland but kept at 17.99 in UK

No turtles of greyskull yet but they are doing the wwe/tmnt so I'll oick cena/casey up and they havent listed the fourth figure of the 3rd but 2nd release of the tmnt movie stars villains which has splinter thrown in it instead of tokka and rahzor
-so them only listing three of the spikor/clawful/vypor wave means they are just as strange with playmates releases as they are mattels.

Packaging art on cartoon She-ra shows octavia and sea hawk (back to the old days when She-ra liked two men at a time o. O instead of a catra).
Will be nice if octavia comes out for another horde member. Sea hawk wil gladly serenade my classics mermista until they do a Netflix version of her.
Got a turtles of Grayskull splinter on the way, not the best price but not the worse at £30, finding the deluxe figures at the £25 mark is near impossible as Mattel sells out/limited stock.
