I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that wasn't the reason, was it...

Duplico is here!
As expected, Euro version with a text free comic, but none-the-less, one of the more awkward to get figures finally off the list.

Definitely. I didn't realise until I opened mine that the cockpit can seat two figures.

Ah, shit. If I didn't have to suddenly buy a new car (or at least repair one) I'd jump on this. Even if it is missing the vinyl story. I might jump anyway... |

It's true. When you compare how much fun and size you get out of Grayskull, a TF leader seems very weak in comparison. However there is the fact that Grayskull is just large pieces of moulded plastic. A TF leader is quite a complex toy with a lengthy design history.

I haven't seen many good photos that compare the Vintage look Origins Skeletor with the new Filmation styled one. The mould is totally new.  The Filmation figures are nice. They aren't true to the original line obviously, but they work as a kind of slightly more polished display version. |

Car goes further though.

Nice! That's the week before half term, which is annoying. Might be another one to split the postage on with you, Phil.

King Greyskull finally showed up to go with the pile of stuff I'll never open.

Sla'Ker has arrived from WS to add to the Turtles line. Big beefy deluxe mashup figure of Slash and Faker. He also has a Metal-Boto BAF part, which confirms that oddly the four Target Deluxes in this line have a BAF split across them, but the four Walmart Deluxes don't.

King Greyskull finally showed up to go with the pile of stuff I'll never open. That took a while! Mine took a month after it shipped before it moved from the origin point. I prodded Mattel Customer Services and it moved straight after that. It's odd, they seem to pile all the shipments up in a warehouse and DHL then slowly work through them with no logic as to how or when. I was beginning to fear it was lost when it finally arrived, but that was a month ago. |

Also, I had Necro-Conda down as a Walmart exclusive, but he's turned up on BBTS for pre-order.

I think this pretty much sums up my experience, Eternia arrived in Feb, but had to message their support at the end of March and then Greyskull immediately started the shipping process |

Cartoon Merman and Stratos in from Whole Shebang. Two great looking figures that are a tad more display-worthy than the origins ones. Especially Merman.
Not sure about the upcoming Spikor and Clawful though, they look a bit crap.

Bargains.
If you've not got either, get in at those prices. V tempted to have a second Wind Raider, one of the jewels of the Origins line

That is tempting, but I don't know what I'd do with another one except keep it boxed. Hang on, were there multiple wind raiders in the cartoon or was it a one off vehicle? I have two Sky Sleds now and wouldn't mind a third as they can fly in fleets, but truck loads of Wind Raiders seems unnecessary. I'm having enough trouble as it is hiding the MotU display behind the sofa at the moment and I still haven't opened Eternia. It's turned into a big collection. Grayskull and Snake Mountain though are wonderful toys.

I love the fact the Talon Fighter has a big handle you can shove up its arse to assist with WHOOSHING.
