I was able to order 3. I'm glad I won't have to wait until next year for him.

Yeah I grabbed two. Thought it was really smooth. I didn't have any trouble with this one or Wun-Dar. I also didn't have any trouble with the NHB set over SDCC. Not sure if I'm getting lucky or what but Creations has been great for me so far.

PayPal glitched on the redirect from MC. Had to do it twice and by that time it was 12:04 and sold out. It's okay I suppose. At least he'll be a available over the weekend.

Something similar happened to me trying to order the No Holds Barred SDCC figures. My card kept declining and I had no idea why. Come to find out the default card information was wrong and by the time I figured it out I was too late. |

I've been working the last 6 days straight with mostly 10-hour shifts and completely forgot about Grizzlor. What a blunder on my part 🤦

I wasn't too excited about it especially at that price, but I ordered the 4 pack from Mattel Creations yesterday.

I wasn't too excited about it especially at that price, but I ordered the 4 pack from Mattel Creations yesterday. Huge props to you for doing it. I'm the biggest He-Man fan (not just MOTU but specifically He-Man) I know, and I haven't convinced myself to pull the trigger. It's cool, but I think the vac metal makes it look less cool than if they had some other gimmick (say, glow in the dark or translucent/transparent weapons). Even with the vac metal, which must add some kind of cost, I can't understand how this set is $150 unless it's simply they think they can charge that and still sell it. I mean, it's a 150% mark-up from regular figs, right? And they come in a box that has art but nothing else special (like LEDs). No idea how Mattel can ask so much for this set (again, unless it's just a "because we want to" justification lol). |

I decided to pull the trigger, but can't figure out their reasoning behind that price. $150 for 4 figures, but just a few days before they charged $18 for Grizzlor (which is arguably a better figure). That's literally more than double the price. |

That's literally more than double the price. Hasbro has gone nuts in my opinion with the price raising (gouging), but Mattel has been relatively reasonable except for this set. There's gotta be something more to it. This isn't even 30 a figure, which would be a lot but more expected with the additional packaging and vac metal (don't know if that's more costly to produce, especially in small amounts like this, but I could see it). |

Totally agree about Hasbro. I've recently stopped buying Hasbro figures because of their plastic free packaging. I was heavily into the GI Joe Classified but I'm a moc collector, so not being able to see the figure in the box is a deal breaker for me, unfortunately. Mattel has definitely been fair with their prices, that's why I don't understand what they're trying to do here. Regardless, I'm happy that I grabbed a set and am excited to see it in person. I try to have every figure from the Origins line, so I knew I would eventually regret not buying these. Unfortunately I missed out on Wun-Dar and Kol-Darr so I might have to get them from ebay when the price dips a little (if it does). |

I've been into Classified and Marvel Legends, but I've pretty much stopped with both. Great figures, but 25 plus tax (or worse for some figures) got me out. It helps that there's so much MOTU now. Origins is my number one line, which makes this 150-dollar set a bummer. That said, I might talk myself into it. I mean, it's He-Man 😄 |

The Superstars line is a close 2nd though. I just love the way they make those and their choice of characters has been awesome so far aside from Bray Wyatt. |

Masters of the WWE Universe and now Superstars are my second favorite (with WWE Legends third). Choice of characters for Superstars has been amazing. Bray was definitely a weird one, especially that version of Bray, but I think it's because they've pivoted some since that first series and decided to go all in. I think the reception was big, maybe more than they expected, so they're pulling out the stops. |

I believe this exclusive was meant for power con. Then something happened. The over the top packaging and prce gives it away.

Finally received my Grizzlors today after having them held up in Orlando for 5 days in true FedEx fashion.
Definitely happy I got these. Now just waiting on the Origins 4-Pack to ship any day now.

Nice! Still kicking myself over Grizzlor. Wun-Dar is up for preorder right now. I'm gonna grab two I think. He's not supposed to ship till July, but it's whatever. |

I would grab a couple but we plan on moving in April so idk where we will br in July. I'll probably just get one from ebay for $50. Expecting my 4 pack tomorrow. Hopefully it didn't get held up too long from the hurricane. |

Got my MOTU 4-pack in today and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with how they made this set. I'm starting to see why they cost $150. No regrets, whatsoever.
