I picked up the flocked Panthor today. I've been to two different Walmarts that Brickseek says have the Skeletor heads in stock, but I couldn't find them at either store.

I'm trying not to get too anxious about the new stuff and just be patient, but once I see it's out some places, that goes out the window pretty quick. |

Grabbed a flocked panthor today. They also had the Skeletor heads but I passed as I just wasn't feeling them. Gotta draw the line somewhere I suppose.

Yeah, went to two stores that were suppose to have the heads, but nothing.
Wife is hitting another store after work that says they have them. Well see.
Update, nothing.

If u don't find em maybe I can help you out as the MOTU stuff stocks at a bunch of stores around me. |

I appreciate the thought. I've been pretty fortunate with MC stuff, so I'm hoping my luck will continue. Thank goodness these aren't store exclusives. |

Anyone know what the Skeletor heads are retailing for? I figure they're $10 or $15, but the only listings I've seen have been secondary market stuff, and they're obviously not asking retail yet.
I finally had Big Bad ship my Point Dread set, and I built it today. I watched the Buffalo Sabres game while I did it, so it was 2 to 3 hours. I really like it a lot, and it's great the way it easily sets on Grayskull but can easily come off. The 50 I paid seems a bit high for this set (if I'd waited it's less than 40 on Amazon now), but it's awesome enough that I have no regrets.
I'm really hoping they offer a Snake Mountain and a Fright Zone, though they may be long shots. These larger builds take time, but they're so worth it in the end.

I think the heads are $10 because Walmart.com has a listing for availability at my store, but I haven't seen any. Amazon has the Roton set for $17.11. I'll take it, that looks like a great price. I also preordered the Battle Ram for shipping on 2/14. |

I paid the full $30, but $17 is closer to what it should be (the Roton is cool, but it's more like a mini Roton than an in-scale one). Was the Battle Ram $30 also? |

The Battle Ram set is $20. I got it delivered this week from Amazon.
The Point Dread set is on clearance at Walmart now. Mine had it for $12.

I found all three Skeletor heads at Walmart. I built the Jet Sled right away, as it was a childhood favorite. It's much better than I expected, and the pictures don't do it justice. The blue armor on He-Man is a bit warped, though, from being crammed into the Skeletor head.
I also put Trap Jaw together, and first impressions are he's one of the best MOTU MC figures to date. I'm not even a big mini-comics guy, but he's awesome. The colors really look good.
Overall, I'd say these are worth the $10. If figures are $5 on their own, the extras are worth another $5. And the Skeletor heads display nicely (either in a collection or for Halloween haha).

I finally found the set of Skeletor heads today at my Walmart and picked them up.
Weirdly, they had probably 20 of the flocked Panthor/Skeletor, and they were all marked as on clearance at $14.

Nice! Mine came as expected but I haven't even had time to cut open the Amazon shipper box. I should have a Battle Ram built by the end of today, though! |

I found the flocked Panthor today. My Walmart had four or five. It's way cooler than I expected, and I like how it looked MOC, so I may go grab another.
Also, I built the Battle Ram tonight. Took an hour or two. I'll probably try to get a second and third if the price is right. Definitely worth the 20 it cost, even if it is a tad small (that seems to be a theme with the vehicles, but Roton is the only one that is too small).
