![]() ![]() This happened to me earlier this week, so it’s a prime example. Walmart and MOTU have an even more devious case of scalperism as these pirates are able to turn around and immediately put their plunder up for sale on Walmart’s website.ĭo you follow me? They actually buy out Walmart’s entire stock of… let’s say, Prince Adam’s Skysled. But Walmart’s approach to distributing these awesome goodies is creating a cottage industry for scalpers. Mattel will keep making these until everyone has them. Scalpers love to buy limited-run collectables by the case, then flip and sell them for massively inflated prices on eBay.īut the thing is, Origins is not a limited run. If you’re a collector of almost anything, you’ll know how having exclusive rights to sell certain items usually results in massive upcharges from third-party sellers. For this brief moment, the Origins release of He-Man, Skeletor, Battle Cat and the rest of the MOTU gang are still being sold only at Walmart. Just like in the old days! These two are ready to battle!īut as of this writing at the tail end of 2020, scalpers are choosing to ignore the impending overstock of MOTU toys that’s just around the corner.

Castle Grayskull seems to be readily available online at Target, but Walmart and Amazon only have it at scalper prices. Orko, Trap Jaw, Tri-Klops and Roboto are still very tough to find at MSRP. ![]() ![]() All retailers are having a very tough time keeping certain figures in stock. Update November 2021 – Since writing this piece, MOTU Origins has indeed become available at most major toy retailers including Target and Amazon.
