So, just as I said in the Monster Force thread... *Fuuuuck* Mondo for this. MOTU and RGB in one week?

Welcome!

Did I miss something? Is NECA doing Ghostbusters?

What's funny is I remember back in 2016, 2017, having discussions with the DC Collectibles crew about the willingness of the fanbase to collect 40 dollar figures. I think enough time has passed that I can openly talk about this... They were concerned that their (at the time) upcoming DC Films...

But do you wipe your own ass? That's the most important big boy question. Man, am I bummed I missed out on the Ecto. Ghostbusters just wasn't on my collecting radar at the time, as the wife and I were trying to buy e-bikes (if anyone has one, a GOOD one, you know how expensive those are. Now...

Like I said earlier, both can be true. I can be out of the line entirely...AND find it ridiculous and inconsiderate of customers on FMF and BBTS's part to drop a ton of things at once. My issue where I dug in became when individuals here were seemingly giving others grief for not being able...

So, out of all of that, you got that I'm pissed about the preorders dropping? I can't walk you through what the actual point was if that was what you got out of it. But you're wrong. Just know that.

I want this concept. I do, I love it. It definitely scratches an itch. But to just hammer it home: it's the execution. Like Fletch just said, again buff mummy guy? A human sized Frankenstein? Just not for me. I have preconceived ideas of these monsters, and it deviates too far from what I know...

Realizing Forgotten King and Dracula shared a body was my tipping point. And not just like...shared a base body. They literally are the same body (save the chest piece) repainted. That was so lazy and uninspired to me. Then just getting them in hand and realizing that everyone shares the same...

Ask and ye shall receive.

I guess the other issue I have is if anyone else is also like me and piecemeals a lot of their collections--a figure here and there in lines--these will be long sold out. So, these are all going to hit and if you're a completionist, you're SOL.

Considerably. 37-39 bucks for the regular figures.

... ...my wife's car wouldn't have needed a new exhaust, my cat didn't have an UTI, and I didn't have preorders due upfront for MOTU and TMNT? Because that was Spring. And not now. When all those things happened. What is the point you think you're making? Either way, all of that is besides...

And? If anyone else here is like me, in that time, my wife's car needed a whole new exhaust, we had a cat that had an UTI so she needed to go to the emergency vet, groceries aren't getting cheaper, and Mondo decided to release the pre-orders for MOTU, and NECA put out the 2012 TMNT figures...

My local one, that's pretty much all they have, last I went. Toys and appliances. A surefire winning business model.

Lol...again, this is just such a myopic viewpoint. Like we don't have random drops between Walmart Collector Cons, and Fall Geekouts and Haulathons and SDCC exclusives and NYCC exclusives and random surprise releases. I think it's fair to say that most of us set aside money for the...

And certainly, I think most of us do that. But then other things come along, or a sick kid or a sick pet, or random car problems. To say "You knew these were coming" is such a snotty thing to throw onto others. Like it's somehow our fault that FMF and BBWS is tossing that much at once.

...I've also had a mortgage. And an electric bill. And a water bill. And a car payment. And vet bills. And medical bills. And student loan debt. And believe it or not, there are other things people have interests in, so other toylines. What an obtuse, borderline ignorant thing to say. Sorry...

To be fair, both things can be true. It took almost three years for these to come out. And when they finally do...well, not all of us have a grand to drop at once.

I just did the math, and to be fair, I did include army builders (to the tune of 5 of the Blackwatch Agents), but I stopped at 655 bucks with about a page more of things to go. That is unjustifiable. Don't get me wrong, I love the concept. The idea of military controlled monsters fighting...

Yep, Reptile could go invisible or "camouflage".

Yeah, so...got those processing soon emails, as well, because I forgot to cancel everything after selling my lot. Boy, oof. To dump almost 800 dollars (if not more, I didn't do the math) of stuff on us all at once between all of season 0, season 2, the accessory packs, army builders, etc...

They are. Raiden and Reptile have both been announced as single releases. The Reptile is a variant with translucent legs.

Sure feels like it. Nero, Spock Prime, and Keenser are left behind. Sucks. Hiya also announced Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but looks like those were put on the backburner, as well. Not looking so great on output lately.

I am for sure painting in Leo's eyes. That just looks so much better to me.
