I might buy extras for the weapons and shield. My Snake Men need real weapons. Never been a fan of the snake staff.
Anyway, some people do have a right to be mad. For the 3 people that bought the 200x sub for the SDCC After Party early access and the 5 people that bought the 2015 sub for the snake torso, I feel for you. But the vast majority still would have bought their subs if those things had never been promised. There's actual bullshit to be upset about: why can't Digital River figure out how to combine orders properly (they can't combine the first shipments of subs for some stupid and ongoing reason)? Actually, the reason is probably because the inflated shipping fees are where they get their cut and thus they are disinclined to save customers on shipping fees. What a crappy arrangement. Then again, it's not like Matty hasn't been screwed by us. Remember when we tricked them into making Castle Grayskull by stuffing the pre-order drive with fraudulent orders? Hilarious. I'm just curious about what the end game of all this rioting is. There's probably someone butthurt and self-righteous enough to file a class action lawsuit. But wouldn't a legal battle kind of kill the line or at least divert resources from it? Do they want someone to get fired for "speaking out of turn" (writing out of turn)? The prime culprit there (Scott) is beyond such retribution. I know, people want "free stuff", but there are no free lunches. If Matty loses money on a sub (or doesn't make money -- which is the same thing from a corporate point of view), guess what? No more subs! And somebody will most certainly be fired over a "costly" mistake. There are unintended consequences for every action (or inaction). The crux of the issue, I think, is that many people don't realize that we need Mattel more than Mattel needs us. They could drop everything MattyCollector tomorrow and it wouldn't affect their stock. They offer these great figures because they have fans who are passionate working there and those people push for these items to be produced. If it becomes too big an inconvenience or we succeed in disillusioning those passionate fans that are pushing the brand forward, it all goes away. |

I'm still HORRENDOUSLY shocked that Snake Mountain is even a thing after that fiasco, and I still suspect that the bitching will be immense once finally revealed since Mattel has already confirmed a significant reduction in the item's size.

I'm pretty sure the sub went through.
