    That sounds similar to what happened to me a while back, when Matty mixed my account up with at least one other person and I wound up with several hundred dollars of bogus charges on the site (though...

    Toyline Launch (February 1982) - I was 19 year old.

    If the much vaunted page where you can go and control your sub is working (and you have access to it with the sub being cancelled), make sure they are charging the right card. Numerous times over...

    Smash Blade He-Man!:hmlol:

    Seriously, it wouldn't be enough to make me quit the line, but it would be the first figure I'd pass on. And you would hear me all over the web ranting about it.:hmwink:
  5. I'd be really surprised if we didn't see at least...

    I'd be really surprised if we didn't see at least Dree Elle and Montorq; re-using the Orko body with a few extra parts/modifications has got to appeal to Mattel. I could see a problem with the...

    Paranoia is fearing something with no real basis. This is Matty; there is much to fear there.:hmlol: It might be an exercise in futility, but I would check with them on it if it isn't showing up at...

    $16 shipping for just four figures is pretty high, actually.
  8. No, they are buying subs just like anyone else,...

    No, they are buying subs just like anyone else, rather than buying up available figures shorting the market, much as many, if not most, of the sellers on e-bay do, so it isn't scalping as the word is...
  9. I'm sure anything like this is going to be in the...

    I'm sure anything like this is going to be in the same vein: re-used molds, almost no paint apps, and lucky if there is one accessory (which is basically what TG described as a $20 figure a while...

    As far as the random access to the figure, it's not all that different than hitting pre-orders for figures on sites like BBTS. There have been times I've checked back there several times a day to...

    Gas Attack Stonedar and Rokkon! Watch out, Stinkor, you got some rocky competition.:hmlol:

    Seriously, it's hard not to chuckle at the rear flap, though I see where it's necessary. I think the...

    Thanks, everyone; all the well wishes are appreciated. It's hard losing a parent, but I've got really good support here, so I've still got family to take care of me (and family, I'm definitely...

    My mom passed away

    Haven't been on the net much of late; my mom went in for a knee replacement, and everything went well. But last Sunday she suffered an unexpected heart attack in her sleep, and passed away. I've...

    Fans have just been reacting to both the numerous foul ups and the arrogant attitude we've been given about it when we bring it up. Mattel is never going to live down "Moss Man is not a bath toy"...
  15. I'm assuming that the concentration for NA is...

    I'm assuming that the concentration for NA is going to be much like that for the classic MOTU line-up: concentrating on getting the main characters out. I'd wager that of the next four or so, three...

    While I was thrilled at getting the Sisters, I do see the point being made here. The FFM are more reminicent of the palace guards, where there's some playability aspect to the interchangable parts...

    Not really sure why they would do that on an e-tail site. I peruse a lot of sites I'm not a member of just to glean information on what's coming up. I'd think that, especially with the "Ask Matty"...

    First, check your Matty account and make sure they are charging the right card (make sure your account information is right and is actually yours; my problems started with a fouled up log-in and then...

    Teela was intelligent and well trained, and a definite leader, but she wasn't perfect. She was headstrong, and quick to lose her temper at times, though not to the point of shoving her sword into...

    If they do, send them to me.:hmgrin:

    I'm trying; I've held off thus far, but I know I'm going to cave in. I know I haven't the strength to resist...:hmlol:
  21. But sometimes that can go too far, turning the...

    But sometimes that can go too far, turning the property or character into something completely different, and not necessarily better. Sometimes, it works, like the re-imagining of DC characters that...

    Agreed. I'd love to see Mara, but, given the re-focus on completing vintage rosters, my bet would be Hydron. Given the track record thus far with NA, I'd expect either to get the royal treatment.

    While I could never again sub with Matty even under physical duress, I will continue to buy the figures either from other e-tailers or e-bay, if the latter is the last resort. I was with MOTU from...

    King Hiss was a totally new, uniquely sculpted buck, but that didn't prevent them from re-using some of his parts for Draego Man. I think the communication broke down a little with the use of the...

    Agreed. One of the hallmarks of MOTU is the wide color pallete (I recall the first national article on the toys back in the day mentioned that very thing), and the NA baddies sometimes got away from...

    Does anyone know if that's even in the soundtrack from the movie? Often such things aren't ready and the studio uses music from something else.

    I do hope the movie isn't washed out and colorless...

    One report said the brother who was killed was 20, and was run over. Another says he was shot and is 26.

    THey named one of the brothers before I left for work, and I was stunned that the name looked Russian, of all things. THey've finally stated they are indeed from Russia, around Chechnya, but may...

    As with any big story, the networks and papers are rushing to anything that looks like a scoop. I saw a Vanity Fair piece on the New York Post's initial story, and it pointed to the things the Post...

    It was most likely an accident. Were it an act of terror, the timing would have likely been much different. Setting it off several hours earlier would have meant that children would have been in...
