Yes I remember Matty sales very well. During those sales I found Keldor,Palace Guards,Battle Cat,Horde Troopers and several others. Those were the days. I had the sub only once back in 2012. Rest of the time I was chasing figures locally in Toronto area and in rest of canada and got some figures through trade. For example I got Wundar locally loose complete for $10 along with few other first release figures such as Skeletor,He-man,Teela,Man-at-arms,Scareglow. All of them loose complete for $10 a piece. In the same deal King Grayskull loose complete with damaged Castle box for $20. Roboto and Whiplash who were difficult to get back then I found for $30 a piece in their packaging locally. Finding all these deals back then was great. Sadly such deals are not around anymore. I hear ya regarding Battle Cat. Prices are insane these days.

They are the only figs I ever regretted selling: Clawful, Snout Spout, King Grayskull, Keldor, Buzz-off, Eternian Palace Guards, Horde Troopers, Lizard Man, SA He-Man vs King Hssss.
Of course, I'm itching to find them again, along with several I never owned in the first place.
Yep, I'm combing those markets you listed and others. The two biggest hauls I ever made were a local sale and then a big Matty sale. Unfortunately I missed the going-out-biz sale at Mattel, when some good figures and vehicles were going for great deals.
Battle Cat costs sick money now, lol. Remember when they were almost handing them away on big Matty sales? Crazy.
