Man, I have also worries about Evil-Lyn and Wun-Dar. As I cannot go to physical store for physical reasons, and the Walmart page doesn’t even show Lyn…
Some of these came back in stock on WM.com at some point, if you happen to know about it… But it’s hard to trust the system and gives me anxieties lol. I’m not always online.
(In US, I think the VC has not popped up anywhere else, except for ridiculous markup.
And as the line is slowly peetering out, I’m bracing for even worse distribution than before
I also can’t really justify paying over $60 (or more!) for a simple MV figure, once it does go up on EBay. So far, there is only one listing for Lyn– from France, with over $60 in shipping fee alone 😵
I have seen in other European places they are better avail– fwhile in US, we have the dread WM exclusivity.
Ordered my Vintage Evil Lyn from a seller at Mercari that just popped up. Price looked great until u factor in shipping, tax, a minor additional fee… getting dangerously close to $50 😬 That’s the thing with Mercari, somehow.
But on EBay, the only listing has the latest bid at ~$75 without tax. I’m sure there will be better listings… and worse… with time. Maybe she actually will be available at WM.com
But like several of you, I’m just sick of worrying about Walmart.
Meanwhile, on TNI forums, I’ve been told eventually all Vintages are plenty avail at their local WM’s 😑 Well, I can’t go there anyway. I need a source 😜
Now for Wun-Dar…
@cosmic I got my Evil Lyn from Ebay, Rarewaves was the seller...it was about 40 EUR, shipping included...I think they have a lot more in stock
@yen1893 That’s great. Mine was like $48 with shipping AND tax.
Haven’t been able to spot her on eBay for a good price. You just never know…
@cosmic I have a feeling that getting Wundar will be a nightmare, I do not know why
@yen1893 At first, I think every other vintage release was tough to get, but now it’s just every single figure.
Granted, Mer Man was in stock again at WM.com for regular price, I think MAA, too. Don’t know for how long. But who can tell ahead of time, and who wants to monitor all the time…
Couple overpriced Wun-Dars left on EBay, from the usual guy…
You guys have drawn my attention to the REV Sorceress (and made me think of which other gaps from the past I want to fill).
I found her for $30 including ship and tax, on Mercari and thought it was a good deal compared to some jacked up prices everywhere.
Initially, I didn’t love her mostly because she suffers from short neck / hunch syndrome that many female figures had at first. I also really like Teela-Sorceress, so I figured I’d stick with her.
But somehow I never opened that one, it seems to me Teela is Teela, and Sorceress is Sorceress.
I got a bit end-of-the-line panic, hearing her prices have been going up… so I ordered.
Even though I’ve already used up my budget for the whole month 😅
There are others that I skipped because I wasn’t fully convinced at the time…. (Or had the perfect version as Classics already!)
Really I should just focus on the future and keep getting only figures I LOVE ! And fill any gaps with Chronicles instead (if I LOVE them!)
But FOMO is always a factor….
(Looking at you 40th anniversary He-Man, REV Mer Man, and, and,… 🤩)
Revelation Sorceress is on my watch list as well, having seen the Chronicles version; (not for me).
I was thrilled to see that my Aussie supplier finally got Wundar back in this morning. No mooching about from me, he was ordered immediately and without hesitation. 😃
Only a few more gaps need filling for me, unless of course Chronicles puts out some offerings which can simply not be ignored.
@djfor I think you made the right call. Here in France, things don’t look promising when it comes to references like this. Usually, a well-known shop called Lulu Berlu, the only place to get obscure MOTU characters, manages to get their MV VC as soon as they appear online. Not seeing him listed alongside their Evil-Lyn units says it all; we’re not getting him.
@cosmic I’ve been doing this recently myself. I took a pause and thought they would all be easily obtainable. I wasn’t paying attention to prices until I looked up Prince Adam!! I ended up getting him yesterday while not cheap, not for his average ridiculous asking price either
@brasco Good! Yeah he’s one that I regret not getting, too. As it’s the only Adam in Masterverse, and he was my favorite character in the REV series…
Unless we get a Chronicles Adam announced that is a bit more barbarian… and not too tiny!
Yeah his MV prices are lunatic.
What are the chances that BBTS gets in more stock of some of their waitlisted items? I’m trying to get Blade, movie Skeletor and Clamp Champ. I really don’t feel like paying after market prices
@brasco Can’t hurt to try!
I do wonder if some items are mis-tagged as waitlist-able, figured it would only be an option for recent/new releases.
So what in the actual heck? Are her and Wundar going to be impossible to get now?
Totally bonkers! Not worth that much.
I hear she was released in some stores in Europe. She was listed on Walmart, so I think it’s still possible she’ll be available there. Mer Man and.,, MAA? We’re also available later again. Seems they come in waves.
No guarantee though. As we feared, these last releases are hard to get…
I think Evil-Lyn might be a bit easier, I’d keep checking EBay , Mercari, WM…
Wundar is even worse...like all greedy bastards on Ebay agreed to sell him for 90$ minimum..there are 10 Wundar figures and they all ask around 90$...morons...King Hiss will be the same...I need to find someone in USA, UK, Germany or France to help me buy the figure for 33$...I will not give my money to these shitheads
Yeah Wun-Dar is definitely the worst, he hasn’t really been released *anywhere*, only on EBay.Wundar is even worse...like all greedy bastards on Ebay agreed to sell him for 90$ minimum..there are 10 Wundar figures and they all ask around 90$...morons...King Hiss will be the same...I need to find someone in USA, UK, Germany or France to help me buy the figure for 33$...I will not give my money to these shitheads
I feel he’s one of those who was meant to be at Walmart and WN.com but most deliveries got intercepted… the rest sank in the ocean. Every other VC figure was extremely hard to get.
The punchline: his regular head is a disaster. It looks like they took an Origins head and tried to make it fit… with completely failed eye paint, to boot. The masked head is bad@$$ though. Weapons rock.
I wish I could help you, I’m physically not able.
@yen1893 I think it’s really bad that Creations doesn’t deliver everywhere. They used to, at first! Mattel has fans everywhere but some don’t matter…?
It would be different if these items were not exclusive to Creations, but they literally tell you to get it on EBay basically. That really sucks.
I hope you can find a way, and / or that the Chronicles Hiss won’t be as bad on EBay.
I hope you can find a way, and / or that the Chronicles Hiss won’t be as bad on EBay.
I hope so...I can live without Wundar (I have the rest of the VC figures), however, I really need that King Hiss, even though he's not perfect, cause I think we will not get another one...cheers bro
Getting these VC characters is getting so ridiculous. How they get released is messy as hell. I can't find anywhere besides Ebay for Evil-Lyn and Wundar. However, I can go to two different Walmarts right now and grab 12 Mer-Man VC figures which were never supposed to be in Canadian Walmarts.
@thedoctor Mer-Man has never been spotted in any French stores known for carrying most of the VC figures so far. In the end, I felt inspired to go for the only reasonable option available to me (Ebay). Beast Man, however, despite my initial apprehension, could actually be distributed in my country. To sum it up, now the first chance I get to grab them is the right one, no hesitation. Recently, I managed to get Wun-Dar with the help of one of our Motu friends, and I’m still really grateful for that, as he would never have made it to my area otherwise.
