Mattel's new Masters of the Universe Origins line while seemingly widely liked by collectors has also been a source of frustration for many. The line started seeing release at the beginning of the year, but only at Walmart stores. Of course in typical Walmart fashion, many stores got little to no stock for these figures and carried in very low numbers online.
Suffice to say, finding the figures to actually be able to buy up until this point has been challenging to say the least. Originally it was said by Mattel that Walmart would have exclusive first dibs on the line for one year, but we are starting to see indications that November is when everyone will be able to start carrying the line.
Our first indication came the other day when we told you how a Florida based online distributor had started listing new Masters of the Universe Origins products including listings for a unannounced
Masters of the Universe Origins Castle Grayskull playset which had a November release date listed.
Then yesterday we began hearing reports of Masters of the Universe Origins products showing up in the Target computer system which included that
Castle Grayskull playset showing a $75 price point.
Now Amazon.com has started taking pre-orders for Masters of the Universe Origins figures with a November 15 release date.
