There are a few key elements missing in this discussion.
The brand manager for MOTUC is a total egomaniac. He has shoehorned himself into the line as a figure (palace guard) and created his failed create-a-figure contest entry from the 80's (Lt Spector).
None of the early MOTUC figures sold out within one day.
A lot of the hysteria with regards to MOTUC sell outs seems to be a dubious marketing technique.
MOTUC is massively overblown. There is a $80 dragon coming, $40 giants and $30 beasts are common... the vehicle was $45 and released just before christmas, some months see 1,2 or 3 figures released. Plus constant re-releases of 'sold out' stock. Most solid fans have subscriptions that means they purchase the majority of this stuff sight unseen.

I can't get him tomorrow, but I will be getting him as soon as I have money.
Also, it seems that they're changing their stance one quick sell outs. I don't know if they year round He-Man figures change precedence in any way at all, but I hope it does. Either way, I'll be buying him soon (two if Taker's sold out) and I really hope the Legends line has done well enough by the end of the year that they keep it going.

How about I not pay $30 for a fig that should be $15 & make them put out flashbacks at a normal price.

Same here I was debating which shipping to get but I didn't wanna a retake of the rockers so I shelled out the $5. Total was $36 bucks After DDP I'm done. These prices are crazy

$54 shipped for 2 Andre's is well worth it!!!! I didn't see the screen of death so I dont think people have to buy him "TODAY" but people should get him regardless, he's well worth it!!!

Picked one up for 30$ shipped. Kind of crazy price but it looked to good to pass up. Not sure if i will get many money though.

I've done my bit a Andre and 4 deluxe stands. Can't wait paid extra for delivery so price was a lot to deliver to the Uk.
Praying Legends carries on and prospers.

I ended up choosing UPS shipping, but not UPS second-day or whatever ... do we think it will be faster at all, or did I just pay an extra $5 for nothing? Ha.
