    Looks like everything is sold out now even on BBTS. I was only able to snag the Horde set.

      On the bright side BBTS has more reasonable shipping.

      The color variants don't really interest me and I'd be shocked if we don't get mass release of most of this stuff. Mattel has never been one to let tooling go to waste.
      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        I'm on the fence about the four-pack. I thought you'd be all over that Filmation Hordak.

        I really like Dupli-Cat.

        I think you are correct about the tooling, look at the Lords of Power.

          I'd be really surprised if cannon arm Hordak doesn't get a retail release.

            I missed everything. Blah. Nothing too essential, but I would have liked the ghost pack.

              The fall-out from this happening is on par with the recent consumer toy scarcity tumult --- but as exponentially an amount as something as exclusive as this Power-Con MOTU Origins material would be expected... it's just like "wow".... these are strange times politically ... but that aside, this is a strange time to be a collector (how about that gun pulled at a Target over sports trading cards!!!)... may peace come to us all.

                I would have loved to have gotten the Faker 2 pack and possible the Grayskull accessories pack.

                I really hate con exclusives when they do new figures. That is just not helping the collectors out at all. I have no problem with repaints being an exclusive but offering new figure is like disrespecting the fans who are the ones who keep this line going. It is not the kids, my Walmart is sitting on wave one and not just He-Man & Skelator the whole wave one is sitting on the shelf.

                  I tried ordering from PC and BBTS but both sold out. The website crashed at PC. This is why I never got started with some of the prior Mattel MOTU series like Classics, and voted with my wallet and supported Super 7 in every way. The demand far outstretches the supply. I would have bought all exclusive sets. Oh well.
                  I'm not too worried that things will get repurposed. I'm a sucker for anything that can add-on to the Castle G.

                    Given what a debacle this all was, I'd expect some sort of re-release by Mattel to make up for the blunder of the Powercon goofs.

                      I didn't get that impression from the site.

                      And yes, Origins is feeling much like Classics, ugh.
