There isn’t really a lot to it. I’d have rather gotten a bigger set with all three towers but this is a good start. I’m planning to get at least two to customize into a bigger tower.

I've seen the size complaint a lot but I get it. Grayskull and Snake Mountain sold/are selling, but not hugely. The Halo and CoD sets priced between $50 and $75 seemed to do pretty well, so they saw a way to break a $200 set up into three $65 sets and hopefully sell them. Much bigger and it would've had to go over the $75 mark and made it a harder sell. As small as the other two towers are relative to this one in the original set, maybe they'll include pieces with them to enlarge this one, similar to the Point Dread set for Grayskull.

No I get the financial reasoning completely. I just personally would like to get the whole thing in one shot but I understand why they are going this route.

Yeah, I like it this way because even though I'll probably wind up spending the same amount as if I were to buy Grayskull or Snake Mountain, I should be getting more figures this way.

Considering I only want Webstor I can't justify the cost plus exchange rate. I'll have to revisit this in 2 months.

Thank goodness for digital files...

The Eternia Battleground set arrived a couple weeks ago. I've only dug into the figures so far but it looks like a fun build. The Atak-trak based on the instructions, looks almost as complex as the Eternia tower.

Battle Armor He-Man has the battle damaged chestplate which I believe is a first. Its the single slash mark damage. Also he has a bare torso under it, not the painted silver of previous versions.

Ninjor is decent and comes with a lot of accessories - bow and arrow (with bowstring), katana and nunchuks with flexible chain.

Buzz-Off is cool with his removeable helmet and claw hands. His wings are a stiff clear plastic with the design printed on them and held in place on his back with a C-clamp peg.

Webstor is one I was really looking forward as he was one of the few figures I had as a kid and he does not disappoint. The backpack with legs is really well done, complete with working hook and cable. They did a great job on his head paint as well, getting the eyes and teeth very clean at this scale.

Looking forward to the long holiday weekend and putting the tower and vehicle together.

Got my Eternia tower today. I absolutely love the figures. I don't care that it's my billionth He-Man, I like the look of the battle damage on the armor. I like Ninjor, even though he was one of the characters as a kid that made me decide I was done with He-Man (I didn't care for ninjas). Webstor and Buzz Off are great and leave me with just a few more figures I really want to make my collection complete for me.

So let's talk about the tower and Attak Trak. I still haven't built the tower, but having the set in hand, I think it's an okay size. I know a lot of people are bothered by the height, but I never had the original set so there's no nostalgia holding it dear to me, so it's fine because I don't want big brick sets. Then there's the Attak Trak. It's simply amazing. I am not a fan of brick builds. I don't like the 'pieces put together' look they always have. It's why I don't have Grayskull or Snake Mountain -- any pics I see of them, all I see are a bunch of bricks that sort of look like something, not actually the toys they represent. But the Attak Trak? I love it. I was happy with the Wind Raider and Battle Ram, but other larger builds I've gotten from various Mega lines have always left me cold. If every build came out as finished looking as the Attak Trak does, I'd buy them all. My only complaint are the blue 'cannons' that are just flat bricks with printed graphics. They're not a huge problem, but the rest of the vehicle looks so good that they're just the weakest part. Again, not a huge issue, but I'll probably modify the design from my Mega MOTU Attak Trak and make my cannons fit the 5mm stud and print them out to use, instead.

I built the tower and have to say, it's pretty good. Not pretty good for a brick build, but pretty good, period. Yeah, it's a bit small, especially compared to the original. But I never had the original and have no sentimental attachment to it, so I'm happy with this one as-is. Only things I'm missing now are Castle Grayskull, Snake Mountain, and SDCC Battle Bones. I don't care if I never get BB, but this tower actually made me rethink my opinion of CG and SM and I may cave on them - especially SM since it looks pretty nice in pics, better than CG looks to me.

My Collection so far:




Love that Attak Trak:


The tower may be small, but it just looks nice with figures around it:




I have Moss Man and Stinkor but I'm still using my customs in the dio because I wasn't sure how the dried plants might stain them:


Side view:

MarkM are you using any of the Fortnite Micro Series figures as fodder? LMK if you need any ...

No, I haven't really looked at them so not sure what they have as options.
