Turtles of Grayskull Hordak is available for pre-order on Toy Stlkr

https://toystlkr.com/product/masters-of-the-universe-origins-turtles-of-grayskull-hordak/

Does that site legitimately get it any earlier or is them trying to get a leg up before the more legit retailers offer it?

I ordered CC Mer-Man through them and received it on May 6. My CC Stratos from BBT, on the other hand, arrived on May 22.

Just seeing the ugly turtle crap on shelves and nothing origins is kind of sad.

 

Don't be hateful. 

This video is mine, it's not good, but I think it's informative...

@banthafett wasn’t the snake lair supposed to go up for pre order in May?

@banthafett I hate to tell you this, but there's still plenty of Snake Men coming our way - Stretch Nek, Quick Flick, Toxoid, High Priest Pythonus, the red new Snake Man with the tail, Golden Rod, Blast Attak (if you consider him part of that faction)...

Ill still get origins stuff, but im so sick of snakemen crap, and we havent even got word when the lair is gonna hit so that means even more snake crap when they do announce it. Im just in the feeling of, if they are not gonna finish the vintage (all figures and vehicles) just end it now.

  

100% agreed. Getting sick of those Snakemen figures, especially when there are still regular vintage figures, vehicles and playsets left to be done. The move to MC is going to drag out the completion of the vintage collection by literal years; I could really do without all this "fillter material" :-/ Or at least put them on different release tracks/cycles so that new Snakemen concept characters are going in parallel to the "core" characters and playets/vehicles ...

That said, I am amazed how far Mattel took the Origins line; I just wish they would start to be a bit more focused towards the original goal now that the line is slowly fading out, i.e. re-releasing the vintage line with a modern twist. I kills the fun a little bit, for me personally, that the releases have slowed down so much, include so many characters outside of the "main" line and that I am forced to order one figure at a time now, with super-high shipping costs, every other month or so.

@smitty-81 I actually like the windowless box better

@brasco I honestly don't care what the box looks like. If the cost could be brought down by five or ten dollars, I'd be fine with them and being in a brown paper bag with a name written in crayon.

@smitty-81 but wasn’t Stridor the same price?

@brasco packaging is part of the cost. Mattel might be saving by not using plastic windows but they'll use it to keep prices the same, claiming inflation doesn't allow them to drop the price all while passing the saving to the CEO, CFOs and shareholders.

I agree with all of this.

Why can't Mattel just do waves of figures on MC like they do at retail? It would speed things up and allow fans to save on shipping. Why does it always have to be 1 figure at a time? It's taking way too long.

@durendal it might have to do with each figure coming with their own mini comic.

Got my Night Stalker. Only bought 1 

@brasco Same. 1 is all I need.

Got my 2 Night Stalkers no problems. I wonder how many of these Mattel made compared to say Rokkon or Extendar?

Got my 2. I would think the numbers of made is gonna be super low compared to all the stuff still sitting on clearance and discount stores.

There are no Night Stalker shirts or tote bags being sold which means less interest so I would say less.

I despise buying this stuff through Mattel Creations with all the stupid website and check out issues they have all the time.  None of my cards would go through when using my phone so I switched to my tablet and I had the exact same problem.  So now 15 minutes in and I was praying that he would still be available so I tried PayPal and thankfully it went through.  But come on Mattel needs to get their website together because this happens all the time and it's not people's cards it's their stupid website.
