Oh, I wonder how hostile this batch of answers will be.
Fortunately, if we get a Grayskull, we won't need more small diorama pieces.Quote:

Since when does the definition of "not honored" mean "orders taken, completed and shipped out"?Quote:
The early listing of September Snakemen and DB Skeletor on Mattycollector was clearly a mistake, but seems to speak to the persistent problems with Digital River. How does this occur and why not honor orders placed?

Guess we all imagined those pictures posted by folks who thought they got their early orders in the mail?:hmroll:
Probably not half as hostile or snarky as your pre-emptive attempt at bashing Scott/Mattel even before you've seen the replies! :skgrin:Quote:

I've only just noticed the Filmation Castle Grayskull is being used on the 30th Anniversary logo....:hmlol:
Yet it's the toy version the MOTUC toy will be based off... weird.
The 30th anniversary is over next year :skwink:Quote:

I think the Castle was changed because the RGD crew mentioned that the Grayskull that Mattel was going to use for the 30th was terrible and that they later changed it to Filmation Grayskull.Quote:

No more diarama pieces? Surely a throne of bones would sell like crazy?
Why are the FFM coming in that massive Star Sisters box? Shouldn't they come in the Vykron box? Even that one is too big, but at least it's better.
Except for POP. :hmwink:Quote:

That's my number one non-figure want!Quote:

I think there is a decent profit margin on these for them, more so than a figure.Quote:

That's a good question...a LOT of people don't have their Q&A's up.Quote:

Wait, they have not announced anything about 2014?? Oh, thank Procrustus, it was all just a bad dream. I had this horrible dream that Mattel told us that 2014 was not even certain to happen and then if it did, then it could only be 6-12 figures, or less. I am glad they have not really mentioned any information about 2014 and this was just my wild imagination.:sklol:
