Re: Masters of the Universe Origins discussion
I was disappointed I missed out on Castle Grayskull on Amazon, but I guess preordering means nothing there now. What is going on with its distribution in Canada anyway? My local Walmarts never stocked it (I know it takes up a lot of shelf space), but even their website only had it for sale for like once weeks ago.

Yeah I really hope this becomes at least somewhat available after Ontario's current lockdown (or during if online ) It'll make the perfect display piece for the figures I've been able to get so far!

And also not getting either of the rings that came with figures. Other than those weird distribution kinks, it seems like we're the lucky ones when it comes to this line, as it seems a lot of those in the US are having a much harder time with the line.

Where do you buy these?
Wave 2 mysterio looks fantastic!

They're Walmart exclusive, so Walmart. Unfortunately Canada is currently on wave 6, so wave 2 was 3 series ago (since wave 5 was skipped for some reason) and unfortunately are no longer available. There aren't many lines that keep refreshing older waves, and this isn't one of them, so unfortunately if you miss a wave, odds are you'd have to either luck into some unsold older figures (which since wave 2 Roman and Cena, and wave 4 Rollins, there isn't much lingering by these figures) or you'd have to buy from an 3rd party seller if you want it.
In the US it seems like some of the older waves figures are randomly popping up as in stock on Walmart.com, but so far we've seen nothing like that in Walmart.ca. The figures used to be listed on .ca, but they haven't been on there for quite some time now.

Thanks for mentioning this! I received my .com order today: Orko, Teela, Evil-Lyn, and Man-at-Arms. Beast Man should be arriving in a few days. I was going to keep them carded since they had full English text, but the cards were in rough shape, so I opened them and enjoyed putting Man-at-Arms's armour on, seeing Teela without the snake cowl etc. I now understand why MOMC stuff could get expensive, especially if it was appraised...getting a MINT card might have been difficult, even back in the day! I'm also surprised at how big Orko is...was his vintage figure the same size?

Pixel Dan compared the original and the Origins one and they were pretty much the same size. Yeah, Amazon does not care at all about protecting the packaging. The cardbacks are flimsy to begin with, but then they stuff them in a narrow box.
