It's getting way beyond a joke! I read an interview with Toy Guru tonight and it seems his/Matty's ideas on MOTUC are ridiculously out of touch. Surely they knew TJ and BC would sell out... why do they seem so nervous and unsure. I mean, they were only available for 19 minutes God dammit! How can they be so UNSURE???? Make higher Qtys of figs damn you Matty! Make more - they WILL sell! :rolleyes:
You make too much sense Robzy, you will never get a job with Mattel :)
Battle Cat is sold out already aswell
The Org seems to have crashed! :p Probably all those angry fanboys
(Oh wait - I'm one of them)
Its release day, everything crashes
You're right... even Hotmail is down! :eek:
How much influence does Mattel have???
Yeah I can't get on MSN
Need. To. Vent. Nerd. Rage.
Oh yeah, matty's forum :)
Surprisingly the Matty forums are the only thing actually working! :rolleyes: There's a lot of angry people on there right now!
Yeah I just saw it
I wish all those people who are claiming to be done with this line had made that decision before today, I may have gotten my Trap Jaws if that was the case :)
Yeah, always with the sweeping "throw in the towel" statements! :p A lot of those guys remind me of when I was young and used to get drunk... every Sunday morning I'd say "That's it! I'm done! I'm never drinking again! Ever!"... and then, next Sat I'd be our drinkin' again!
The .org is back up
F*****g scalpers are selling Battle Cat for over 100 bucks each on ebay
Crazy!! :eek:
Matty needs to sort their s*** out pronto! I love how their forum was working but the sale pages weren't! :rolleyes: This can't keep happening EVERY month!
It shouldn't come as a suprise to them. It has been ongoing since the beginning of the line
But I think when push comes to shove, everyone will be back next month to go through the same shit again
Yep! And I'm one of those suckers who'll be back. TJ's only 1 figure... I'll get him somehow. I'm not ready to quit the line just yet :p
Of course, I'm not paying $2-300 for a TJ/BC combo mind you!
Im not going anywhere either
Once the hysteria dies down it will be business as usual. Mattel will reveal a new figure and all will be forgiven :)
I couldn't sleep so I went on ebay and bought my extra Trap Jaws
I feel so dirty
so did anyone get Battle cat? i was on at 4.30am, still half asleep, and by the time i got to the checkout they had sold out.
I guess ill wait for the next round, let the scalpers have their moment.
I managed to get my BC....just!
I managed to Battle Cat (and one for Gutsman Heavy), MAA re-release, and some Battle Stands... but I didn't get Trap Jaw unfortunately! :(
Crazy huh?
I was online well before the sale time, signed in and ready... and I didn't even see Trap Jaw available! The wsod lasted about 20 minutes. Then I just ordered battlecat normally, no worries.
Was kinda bummed about TJ but insanely happy about battlecat. I remember when Robzy first posted that battlecat was coming... I have been waiting since then!!
So, who is that Big Monkey? I'll be getting him since he is a big ass monkey, but would like to know his origin.
I'll let Sky Shadow answer that one for ya... :D:p

But Gygors never made it to production. Until now...Quote:

While I'm vaguely on the subject of pre-MOTU Big Jim toys, check out this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Big-Jim-Adven...item230515dcbb
It looks more like the Filmation cartoon Attak Trak than the Masters toy did.
if anyone missed out on these i have the following for sale or trade. PM me if interested in any, otherwise i'll let them go on ebay.
Tri Klops
Webstor
King Randor
Teela
Goddess
Battle Armor He Man
Beastman (2nd release)
If you had a Trap Jaw I'd be interested! ;)
Trap Jaw is getting pretty pricey on ebay it's up to about $80 shipped in most places!Quote:

Does anybody know if TRU are going to be stocking the DCU/ MOTUC exclusive packs?
Does TRU usually stock the DCU stuff or do Aussie collectors have to get it elsewhere?
I doubt we'll see them. Aus hasn't seen any DCUC figs for a couple of years! So, I strongly doubt we'll see these crossover packs at all. :(Quote:

Check out this BC review! The pics are incredible :eek: Some of those poses you can get BC in to have left me speechless!!
My Trap Jaw arrived today and he is better than anything I could have imagined. I am absolutely blown away by this figure. I could be finished with this line today and be totally content with just having this figure, that is how good he is.
I don't want to over hype it but I just can't help myself. I think anyone would be hard pressed to fault the figure, unless of course they are anal :)
I'm so jealous. Mine should be arriving soon too (I hope)! :o
That. Is. Awesome :)
Squeee! I just won a Lex Luthor versus Skeletor pack on eBay shipped for $66US ($74.62AU). Which is pretty good compared to most of the crazy prices those things have been going for.
That Has to be the Best car I have ever seen!Quote:
