I feel like it was still the right move to make more He-Man and Skeletor figures available, but there are a lot of them out there and it worries me, too. Mattel might have just made too many.
It's like it makes you think the figures are available in this line because there's some hanging, but really the other waves have been just as scarce as any line these days. You get one shot to find the one case each store gets, and then you're out of luck.
I think it would have been better if the cases were five or six figures with He-Man and Skeletor being refreshed in subsequent cases. Maybe the logistics don't work for that, but it would work better than solid cases of each before everything else got released.

Hordak should have been an evergreen figure like he-man and skeletor. The thing that made it worse was that Wal-Mart had the influx of those 2 from last year, so now with them readily available in other stores the sales of he-man and skeletor are going to drop and there going to back up at retail.

YMMV, but it looks like Target has Sky Sled sets marked down to $14.99.
I bought a second set to have another Sled and an Adam for parts. I keep telling myself I don't need a third one, but I also keep telling myself that other Barry is lying.

I saw that earlier today too and was going to post the same thing that Target has them marked down to 14.99. It's crazy just six months ago these were impossible to find and now they are half off! |

I got notifications from the Target app two mornings in a row for Skeleton/Keldor. Yesterday, I waited about 5 minutes to check my phone after hearing the notification. The add to cart button was active, but I couldn't add to cart. This morning I picked up immediately on notification, but the add to cart button was greyed out. I had an easier time finding Major Bludd and Clone Wars than this two pack and flocked Panther.

I've been to Target twice in five days trying to get that 2-pack. And I had the same experience on the app trying to add to cart. So far, I'm SOL. I did pick up another Sky Sled pack today. I couldn't pass it up at $15. If I go back again and they still have them, I'll probably get another. I'll give everyone else in my area a day or two to get one, though.  |

Got the Keldor/Kronis notification, opened up the app to see that they were in-stock at a Target an hour away from me (Keizer, OR). Bought one for in-person pick-up, and put my mother-in-law as an alternate pickup person, as she lives in Keizer. Now the app is showing all stores as out-of-stock, and my order is still in "processing". Fingers crossed that my set didn't get sniped before it was grabbed for my order! EDIT: 2 hours later, and I just got the notification that my set is ready for pick-up!  |

I split this thread up because I know you guys wanted a MotU only thread.

I went to a toy convention yesterday and only one or two vendors had the Keldor/Kronis pack. They had sold them for 60 before I got the chance, but I don't think I want it bad enough to spend double retail anyway, even if the Keldor is particularly awesome. I have MOTUC Keldor and Kronis, because I bought an extra Trap Jaw to make one back when he was first on sale.
Everyone there said what we're saying: can't find it at Target.

The Rise of Evil pack may be in stock on the Target app right now.
I was getting in-stock notifications before 6 am (EST), but then it was like the app or their site was down and nothing would load. When it started to work again just a bit ago, it let me add to cart and check out. Hopefully I get a ship notification. Good luck to others and sorry if this is a false alarm.
Yesterday morning I had a handful of in-stock notifications (4 in an hour), but it never was when I checked. Seems like maybe it's hitting finally, but who knows.

Well, my Rise of Evil pack arrived today (ahead of schedule by a day).  They had to fold the top forward to get it in the box, and they used no packing material, but I was planning to open it anyway (although it always bothers me a little to open an unpunched package). Keldor is one of the best figures in the line so far, while Kronis is just kind of average (his head could have been better). The Skeletor head has red "jewel" eyes that catch the light and appear to glow, so to speak. Very cool. Overall, certainly worth retail price, but I'd try to buy Keldor loose instead of shelling out for the whole pack on the secondary market if it came to that. |

Found these earlier in the week at Target. They even had the Battle Armor Skeletor but I got him back in late January. Was excited to see the Battle Armor He-Man again as I saw him in early January but passed on him then never saw him again. I remember having that one when I was kid haha. I wonder if these all ship together with the Buzz Saw Hordak? Hopefully if they do anyone who missed out on the Battle Armor He-Man or Skeletor can find them again. Just crazy it was took five months for a restock of the He-Man and Skeletor!  |

Just crazy it was took five months for a restock of the He-Man and Skeletor! Agreed! Nice finds, though. I haven't seen any of the deluxe figures at retail. I have them preordered on Big Bad, and I'm patiently waiting for them to come in, but I'd probably cancel them if I found them at retail. I just (finally) got notice that Ram Man is in my Pile of Loot. Still need BA He-Man and Skeletor, Hordak, Clamp Champ, and Mosquitor. I'm going to be waiting for a while. haha |

I found Battle Armor He-Man, Battle Armor Skeletor AND Buzz Saw Hordak all at once! https://www.instagram.com/p/CP-1soaAdTu A couple of gripes: Hard to tell in the photo, but the sloppy paint job on Skelly's "angry" face gives him a wonky right eye. As in the actual eye design in printed on his cheekbone. Will exchange if/when I ever stumble across another one. I don't feel like the deco/colors on BS Hordak are different enough from his standard basic fig. I had the original basic Hordak when I was a kid, but didn't have the BS one, so I don't know if the originals were this simiar or not. I DO like the smiling head, however. |

The Masterverse figures (which have Revelation versions of He-Man, Skeletor, Evil-Lyn, and Moss Man) are supposed to be released everywhere in August and sooner than that at Walmart. Apparently they're street dated at Target right now. I'm not sure if there's another line to go with the other MOTU Netflix series, which is directed more at younger kids. |

Figured I'd start one of these since we don't have one (none that I could find).
I'll start, has anyone found Wave 5 in stores yet (Faker, Merman LoP, Evil Lyn 2, and Fisto)? I was lucky enough to find waves 2, 3, and 4 in stores (2 at Walmart, 3 and 4 at Target) but I've only seen each one one time. Makes me wonder why they are so scarce in most places. I'm going to guess that wave 5 will be just as difficult to find as the last 3 were. Probably better off just ordering them through eBay like I did with Keldor.
What about the Deluxe figures? Anyone find those recently? I found He-Man deluxe twice but that's it. Can't wait to get the rest, I love these figures.
