So I guess they have put them out to pasture. Maybe check you local Walmarts if they still have any old Origins figures still on the shelves.
Just remember any $0.02 items take them to self checkout only and checkout with other items otherwise it'll make staff come over and they will take it away.

Scanning the item last helps too...

Of course, by now that should be a given. Though I did scan it as the fifth or sixth item.

Re: Masters of the Universe Origins discussion

So about 10 or so days ago I ordered the Talon Fighter/Point Dread set off Amazon.ca. It was the first time I had seen it available on the site not from a third party seller. And it was on sale for like $57.99. I got the email that the item shipped, but it didn't show up the day it was supposed to nor a few days later. All the sudden I get an email that the return was processed and my money was refunded. No explanation of why the item was returned or anything. Needless to say I was pretty ticked off because it was no longer available on the site.

Fast forward to yesterday. I was over in Detroit and stopped at a Target and they had the Talon Fighter/Point Dread for $39.99. But then they had a sale where you could get any one toy for 25% off, so that brought the price down to $29.99. Then on top of that there was a sale where you got 20% off your entire order. So I got the Talon Fighter and a WWE Elite Legends figure for $40US. Not bad. So thanks for bungling my order Amazon.ca...lol.

Unfortunately they didn't have anything else MOTU Origins. Was hoping maybe to find a Snake Mountain, but no dice. I then stopped at a Walmart and they also had the Talon Fighter and they had about four of the deluxe Leach figures. No other figures...except kind of hidden on a lower self was one solitary Moss Man. I grabbed him even though the $39.99 price is brutal. Not sure if he'll ever show up in Canada.

So even with no Snake Mountain a pretty successful trip.
