I just think half of Matty's "lying" is people deciding their own facts without proof and declaring anything that Matty says that contradicts those "facts" a lie.

And, sorry, but, unless you work for Mattel or one of their factories, you have no proof. (I'm speaking generally, not to anyone specific).

@Philip Reed: true but it is easier to turn around one figure for one retail outlet(matty) than it is to turn around another order for a whole wave of figure of numerous outlets. plus when wave 9 was being made all the other lines for the holiday season were being made so factories were prob very swamped.

Out of curiosity, was Randor a tail-ender, like Scareglow? I've always had him so I took it for granted. The only two original MOTU figures that I wanted but never got were Snakeface and Scareglow. I also wanted a Frightzone, but never got that either. What a deprived childhood I had!

I'm surprised he took this "long" to sell out. After all, Randor is key to the MOTU mythos, & I'm sure a lot of people were looking forward to him, as he was likely never part of their collections back in the day.

@PrfktTear:

Heh, sold out and 100+ comments… ‘ol boy still got it!

I'd like to hope my Wednesday morning mental lapse had nothing to do with Randor's 100+ post count. (Insert red faced smilie here.) If I've learned two things from this thread they'd be: 1. When my schedule is filled with late nights and early mornings, leave the discussion to the people with coherent thinking. 2. King Randor makes one rockin' Santa. Anyways, I want to thank you guys for not being too harsh on the newbie. It's appreciated. Now, it's time to eat and then grab some rest. Take care.

@Scott: "If that’s all there was to it, Mattel would have just made more of DCUC wave 9 instead of announcing that there was an accidental shortage and cancelling online orders." That's what I would assume, but Mattel has done enough weird -- sometimes questionably shady -- things that I don't understand their thought process.

MMM… White Castle… some friends of mine were heading down to Elmsford, NY last weekend where apparently a White Castle is located no farther than 20 minutes away. Do you think they would have brought some home for me?! NOPE! I guess they all got eaten on the trip home!

No shipping confirmation for me either, though I have been billed. Maybe tonight.

Not that I'm exactly counting the seconds til his arrival =P He's staying in his little White Castle once I get him anyway.

Hail to the King! I thought Goddess would sell out first! I just hope I get my shipping confirmation soon!
