Like I posted on the Org... it's all part of the theatrics. There's no way Scott will miss an opportunity to announce it to the world. Does anyone seriously think that I guy with his ego will just let the fanbase know the result with a thermometer jpeg?!
I love that the preorder page is still up... past the deadline. Some of those Orgers are bordering on dangerous fanatics. They've had giant countdowns to the final second of the sale... and yet, it's still available to buy
Just goes to show that some of them no nothing of what's actually going on. They just don't understand how they're being played, yet it's so obvious when you look at it. They've become (just like when the Sub sale was on) so obsessive, and almost religious, about the deadlines and thermometer... trying to interpret what it all means at any given moment... stressing one minute, rejoicing the next... trying to convert and persuade people, who have openly expressed that they're concerned about their financial circumstances, in to buying a CG or two (often successfully). It's like a doomsday cult or something.

It would be hilarious if the preorder get extended to the 21st of December

They are indeed all deluded at the Org. Scott is like Benny Hinn in the deep south.

I don't know why I post on there. I say to myself... "Stay away! Leave them be!" But then I just can't help myself when I read some of the absolute dribble or loony philosophies a few of them have. And so I end up having endless exchanges with half-wits who don't deserve my time or attention

(I'm MC Modulok over there.) So I just posted in the "What Would It Take..." thread:
"The moment I know that Toy Guru no longer works at Mattel, I promise I will order a Castle Grayskull."
This is 100% true.

Because the whole situation is like a train wreck.I don't know why I post on there. I say to myself... "Stay away! Leave them be!" But then I just can't help myself when I read some of the absolute dribble or loony philosophies a few of them have. And so I end up having endless exchanges with half-wits who don't deserve my time or attention
To be frank, that may also inspire me to buy one.

As it was expected, Scott was holding back the thermometer to cause people to panic into buying more castles:

How did it go from a fair bit below minimum to dramatically exceeding it?

SURPRISE.... SHOCK... CG's getting made.
Don't get me wrong, I ordered one (as I said I would when it was first announced), but I'm embarrassed to be associated with the way some of those MOTU fans are behaving - both before and after knowing the result!
Careful... you'll probably get banned for flaming
It's okay, I just went to respond and noticed the last thread I wrote in is closed (every time I post in a thread on Matty or the Org it get's closed). I love it when people write "Who cares", and you reply by telling them who cares, and they respond with "Relax". Their attitude is "I've got nothing to say but, damn, I'm gonna say it LOUD!"
It's out of hand now. Everyone's acting like they just won WWIII and discovered the cure for cancer. Funny how you can have 3 threads all saying the same thing about celebrating, but you can't do the same thing when pointing out serious issues or problems.
