@brasco here's the annoying thing about Walmart. You don't have to go cross-country or even the next state over. The Walmart across town could have a different selection than the one you regularly visit.

@smitty-81 I’m just trying to see if this was a one and done type of thing

On the shipping stuff. I have all my stuff preordered with BBTS. I only made this quickie jump because it was "in stock" so the influencer 15% counted and it was big enough to get free shipping. BBTS earned my respect with the pile of loot but I'll make some moves to save a buck per fig.

On the walmarts, I did a little run through some parts of South Louisiana over the week and hit up several Walmarts and I actually ended up with 2 walmarts that had the Cartoon Collection and the Turtles. One of them had Krang and a good selection of Masterverse figs. Which was super exciting. Several of the other walmarts in the area had already clearanced all did not have any MOTU stuff up or were clearancing all of it. 

The Summer toy reset seems to be the source of it. The stores that have completed the reset both had the MOTU stuff.

So my only previous source of MOTU cut everything but 2 more stores added it, so I'm actually +1 overall in local walmarts carrying the new line. Both targets got Sla'kker (sold out still, no reup) and only one got the Stranger Things set. I'm hoping this keeps up long enough for me to snag an in person Gr'asp and Terroar. I was luck and found Duplico in store as well. 

Honestly the WWE Superstars stuff is even more frustrating. Honky Tonk Man and Ted Dibiase are the Naked Stratos and Jistsu of of 80's WWF figs.

I'm going to the Walmart where I got Krang this weekend to see if they restocked or what's up. I'm hoping for a mutated Mossman (or a big Bossman).

Paul is nice to use. He ships fast and sometimes early. And there's no tax or shipping so even with his "small business" up charge I'm still spending about the same compared to BBTS or EE. 

I'm going to keep saying this until he cleans up his act. Paul used to be great when he didn't take pre-orders. Now he does and prints a shipping label right away so he can release your funds like from PayPal. People have complained he doesn't keep track of who ordered first. People who ordered it a month later than you often get it first. Did he think his customers wouldn't talk to each other?

EE may be getting stuff sooner I guess, but BBTS has the POL which is mainly why I use them.  Plus EE's shipping prices are ridiculous unless you buy enough to qualify for free shipping.  On top of that literally everything that I have ever ordered from EE has taken at the very least two weeks to actually get delivered to my door.  Sometimes I've even waited a month for stuff.  I always get all my orders from BBTS in five days or less. 

I agree with all of this.

@kraken I've never noticed this. I don't mind paying up front as it gives me a solid position when or if he screws up.

@durendal Where did you order yours from?

DJC Collectibles. 

 

Thanks. Never heard of it.

@smitty-81 Evil-Lyn doesn't look as yellow there.

@he-mayon he talks about that in the video. He even shows a screen shot of Evil-Lyn looking more yellow. The inconsistency of Filmation is probably a major pain in the ass for the MOTU team at Mattel.

@smitty-81 Very interesting seeing the two Evil Lyns next to each other. Makes the new one feel a lot less yellow!

Also great to see all of the CC figures together. I’m still resisting, besides a few specific ones… 😬 

@cosmic I'm getting one from each wave, and so far I only regret picking Trap-Jaw over Teela.

Can't you just make an exception bro and get Teela too?

Speaking of Teela. It is crazy how many videos are out there that feature her top coming off. Outsiders are gonna think the toy community are perverts! 

@he-dad I’m kind of doing the same so far, though with that wave I got both. 😅 So much for slowing down ha

@he-dad I'm on a budget.

Like inconsistencies from one episode to the next? Filmation reused animation cels over and over again. They are the gods of consistency to a fault.

@he-mayon for key sequences yeah, but as soon as they needed a character to do something unique this would get dicey.

Got my 2 quick and easy. Never had him back in the day.
