"When hope seems lost..." Don't give up yet guys.

Anyhow, I'm not sure how many Vykrons I'm getting tomorrow. I really want to order three but don't know if I can swing it. $30 each is a bit steep.

Why? What the hell did he ever do to you!

**ChgoMarc** · July 23, 2012, 10:22am

Oh my goodness. I'm white. I'd better hide.

**Shankor** · July 23, 2012, 01:26pm

So, who still hasn't bought a sub yet?

**Son of Keldor** · July 23, 2012, 01:33pm

Not me.

=)

If we don't get Horde Troopers before this ends, I'm holding everyone here that didn't order a sub responsible.

Luckily I got a sub!

But my concern is not having extras for general sale, as I want an army of them, but ToyGuru is making it sound like most items will have little or no day-of stock. A few days ago Val posted a thread in the MOTUC forum for people to post questions for ToyGuru about the future of the line so they can be asked on yesterday's recording of Roast Gooble Dinner (which is supposed to edited and posted by the end of the week). I specifically asked in that thread about how this would be handled for those who want multiples if the line does go forward and if they get to the troopers before it ends. Hopefully we get some kind of good news from it, but I am not holding my breath.

I have to wait til Friday to buy a sub(payday), but I'm for sure getting one. I'd like to do 2, but we'll see.

**Son of Keldor** · July 23, 2012, 08:41pm

does anyone remember what the toal sub costs were for last year? that will greatly help in deciding wht way to go!

=)

**BrandnChicagoHorde** · July 23, 2012, 10:37pm

I'm getting a Watchmen sub, but won't be getting a MOTUC sub. In fact, I haven't bought a MOTUC figure in almost 2 years.

**Red Trinity** · July 23, 2012, 11:07pm

I don't think there's any chance that a huge amount of Horde Troopers will not be available once they come up. That's going to be Mattel's way of printing money. It's the one army builder just about everyone wants multiples of. So for them to not make those heavily available on sale day would just be ludicrous.

I got my sub yesterday. But I was on the fence for a while. I'm underwhelmed by most of what I've seen of 2013 so far. The FFM didn't impress me and I was truly expecting more Filmation or a Filmation-only sub to continue the 30th line's momentum.

I'll be disappointed if things end with 2013 or 2014. I think there are too many things left undone. I do want to see Eldor, more PoP, Filmation and the comet warriors.

**Dynamo of Eternia** · July 24, 2012, 09:01am

I hope you are right about the Troopers, Grant. But this is Mattel and they don't always use logic.

I would also like to see the things that you listed come out before the line ends.

**Shankor** · July 24, 2012, 09:50am

I think that they'll do the Horde Troopers as a 3 pack as bait for next years sub

**Son of Keldor** · July 24, 2012, 10:48am

that would be great for army builders.

=)

**ChgoMarc** · July 25, 2012, 08:26pm

Not looking too good. Don't think I'm going to get a Rammy.

That just sounded wrong.

**Shankor** · July 26, 2012, 08:41am

Marc, I thought in our conversation Sunday that you saw somewhere the subs were at 60-70%. If the subs are really that far down below expectations to make it a full year, I think I'll just save my bones for something else.

**Shankor** · July 26, 2012, 01:47pm

Dang, they got the Horsemen taking it to the boards trying to generate more subscriptions. I didn't think the situation was that dire. I'm not sure that 2013 can be pulled off

My bad. I wrong something wrong. We were at 60% to 70% less.

**ChgoMarc** · July 28, 2012, 08:59pm

I'm guessing we are not going to make it.

**ChgoMarc** · July 28, 2012, 11:04pm

I think the 50% includes BBTS's order which everyone is guessing to be 100.

I can't believe they presold out of Jitsu at $50. I guess there are more cherry pickers than I thought. I've always been 100% into any line I collected. But I'm also the guy that buys the 2nd, 3rd, etc printings on comic books.

**Dynamo of Eternia** · July 30, 2012, 10:40am

Woo-hoo.... I got front-paged on he-man.org!

**ChgoMarc** · July 30, 2012, 06:40pm

Good job Big B.
