They are indeed and have become excellent spots for collectibles in my area.

There was already Super7 stuff at the Lexington store a couple weeks ago.

Hey hey other KY folks on Toyark!!
I haven't made it out there in a couple years, but there are some great second hand toy shops out there. May need to check some out after Derby City Comic Con at the end of this month. On Topic... Super 7 makes a ton of cool things, but I think them having the MOTU license is a double edged sword. I read this article in hopes some of the MOTU stuff would be mentioned and I am sure others did as well, despite that only being one of many licenses Super 7 have. I could tell Super 7 was already a little annoyed with things in the interview they did with Pixel Dan. After they spoke about MOTU the guy pretty much said "I know you only care about MOTU, but we have a ton of other stuff" he also pointed out that there have already been major issues and snags along the way for the first release of ultimates, yet people want to know about playsets, vehicles, and other stuff, to which he laughed and said IF we were working on vehicles right now it would still be 2 years until you would be able to purchase them and at the time the ultimates had literally just shipped. He just seemed really tired of having to appease the MOTU fan base and kept reiterating that they are just getting started with the brand and was not sure where it was heading. |

I love The Worst figures, personally. They're so much fun. I got 'em all. In contrast, I give no shits about He-Man stuff, so whatever.
As for the new FYE deal, that's only a handful of stores in a handful of states in a chain that's seen better days (all the FYEs around me in NY closed recently). Not really a huge distribution deal or anything, but it's better than nothing, I guess. |

I'm not a big MOTU fan myself, I just have learned over the past year how difficult it is to obtain them. I mean with what matty collector used to do and now super 7 doing preorder only, it makes these things really expensive on the after market. Plus everything He-Man sells in stores, it is really weird there is not more merch out there in stores for that license...
I'm not a ReAction fan at all but I do hope they continue their street fighter offerings. |

I really miss having an FYE near me
That place was a goldmine for NECA, Diamond Select, and DC Direct figures.

If they start selling MOTUC in stores, I might pick one or two up.

Spot on. ive said this before myself on another thread. thats why super 7 is not a good choice for MOTU. dont know why they got the license if they dont seem happy. they push way more their own line than MOTu but the collectors want MOTU instead of their products which in reality isnt that good. never liked the 'worst' figs or muscle either. its like they got the MOTU line just to showcase their stuff also. could be a 'store front scheme' yeah we sell Motu but look what we got in the back lol im on to you super7.

17:50 is the point where they stop talking MOTU so you can see the guy's frustration. 21 minute interview talks MOTU for 18 minutes and highlights some other products for less than 3... |

To be fair, Pixel Dan focuses on He-Man for his reviews, so it makes sense that would be what he would want to focus on. The Super 7 guy should have known this beforehand. Personally, I don't care for any of their own products, so I would find an interview about all of that boring.
