Dude, Sigma Six sucked too.
Well, I guess I've played this out long enough. Some time ago I used my wealth [of guns] and influence [what I call the bullets] to persuade a handful of Hasbro employees into creating a false line of "extra" figures that were supposed to be an April Fool's joke during the movie drought. Unfortunately, images of those items were leaked far too early and well, you know how the fandom loves optimistic speculation. So we ran with it.
Well, did you ever see that episode of South Park where the kids try to get that whale to the moon? Yeah, something like that... Any how, I've invested a crazy amount of money into carrying this joke on, which oddly enough, was passed onto you, the consumer, in the form of $7.99 singles. , , ,,,, ,,, ,, ,... Sorry, I needed more commas.
Back on topic, darn those Chinese, they've taken the whole thing a step farther by releasing half done pieces to the hopeful masses. I guess everyone's in it to make a buck, right?
Anyway, I feel better getting this off my chest. You don't know how often I've almost spilled the beans keeping the dream alive.
So, yeah, no seven packs... Oh and Joel was in on it too, that's where the whole "exciting announcement" comes from, the email link was gonna lead to a picture that read "Aprils Fools" in balloon letters written on the staff's backsides. Sadly, no one got up the nerve to paint the lettering much less take the photo.
