After checking to see if any more wind damage this morning after waking up to the gate on the floor, found a very soggy amazon parcel of my stranger things skeletor pack with box damage. But it's totally cool, totally fine.

Hoping they don't do that to the cartoon classics lot

So the Fright Zone was removed from the calendar, theory is that it was meant to be for July. Just another screwup for the Freight Zone, nothing new there.

Amazon delivered in a big paper bag and left outside (fortunately no rain) one crumpled card Frosta and invisible skeletor (along with a marvel legends gaurdian). Managed to get Catra ordered for under RRP from amazon too, she doubled in price when amazon ran out of their over priced listings.
Probably opening the catoon she-ra figures so that the castle has some one to live in it other than Mr T

Ordered my first ever Barbie...

Battle for Etermia set is on its way to me and then the oother Origins creations figure soon. Kind of convinced myslf the motu thundercats need their lair to live in :/

People are point this line out because it does appear to be a mass retail release.

During this member shopping window, this item may also be available at other retailers.

If it ends up on BBTS at the same time for the same price I'll get it there for the $4 shipping. Not thrilled with the price. I get that even if it's sold at other retailers it's still definitely being sold at smaller numbers, but this is still a lot for something half the size of the other two playsets.

Yeagh but if it's £130 here at retailers like the one site has posted it for, I'll be likely just ordering two straight from mattel. our major toy store has not had anything since Modulok that they deep discounted at random.

Barbie is still on route but Sharellas arrived today. Dang that was stupid quick.

Three fright zones ordered, was a faff on my phone but not waiting to see if other websites had them available. Between that and m.a.s.k I'm done. Might even pass on the sdcc skeletor shredder but who am I kidding

Ended up ordering one on BBTS. Same price and only $4 to ship.

On the fence about the MASK set, I'd save $35 over the retail price if I bundle them at BBTS and that would make the Scott and TBOB only $15 more instead of $50!

Rhino sdcc was pretty decent priced over here bar a few sites, mine was around £100 which isn't bad if $175 is the price state side and that it was already selling out on websites here for £140. If they do an optimus repaint down the line I would cave be it g2 or bay.

£9 shipping for the fright zones is pretty much unbeatable. It wasn't available on the UK site which seems to have been a temporary tariff buster rather than a site that is constant in stock. I'll use one for the cartoon dnd figures display. I need to order the motu origins conan style figures at some point but still a few sdcc exclusives I'm after, mainly the ecto glow ghostbusters.

Got an order put in for skeleshreddor, the repaint castle grayskull could have done with retooling but I will still be buying it (I refuse to pay more than the castle costs on the secrets of Grayskull set). I still like the cheap fortnite pack as my space suits.

Sdcc and the 200x masterverse reveals is not what I wanted to see, going to have to get them all rather than previously being picky over the masterverse stuff.

the wait is almost over but is it worth $300

https://toynewsi.com/241-59141

snake lair crowd fund.
very toyish, not a bad thing for me but not so sure if needed and that's from some one buying 90% of what is available

unlocks
lady slither (painted bones...probably not to hard to use a skele wariiors parts but then again snakes and bones)
high priest looks great
steed...liking it and it has to be reached for the price of the crowd fund imho but not sure it has a wow factor
