Re: NEW MOTU Classics Castle Grayskull Pre-Order NOW!!

...


actualy... there was a ploy over on 4chan where they were trying to get people to place huge orders.. like 50-100 plus..

just to cancel them later in hopes of babkrupting mattel at release time.

i didnt pay much attention to it at the time, but now....

Wasn't there still a limit on how many any one person could order? I doubt one person could order 50; it wouldn’t make any sense; who could afford an order that large except a business. And I don't think too many businesses would have been willing to pull that kind of fraud.
 
Re: NEW MOTU Classics Castle Grayskull Pre-Order NOW!!

Would only take $13K to order 50 of them (and have the pre-auth go through). But I agree that anyone with more than a little bit of savings probably wouldn't engage in such a juvenile scam.
 
Re: NEW MOTU Classics Castle Grayskull Pre-Order NOW!!

Apart from the fact that Mattel would probably sell all if not most of whatever they produced, whoever suggested that did realize that Mattel is a multi-billion dollar company, right? LOL

like they've sold all those windriders, right?

You clearly don't know 4chan.

Is it possible? yes. there is probably nothing to it, but still, those guys REALLY hate Mattel.
 
Re: NEW MOTU Classics Castle Grayskull Pre-Order NOW!!

I really don't know anything about this 4chan you speak of. It is also news to me that Mattel sells boats. . .wish I owned one, honestly.
 
Re: NEW MOTU Classics Castle Grayskull Pre-Order NOW!!

Grayskull is a go!
 
Re: NEW MOTU Classics Castle Grayskull Pre-Order NOW!!

Who the hell is 4chan? :dunno
Is that a member here? or a forum?
Never heard about it/them...
Probably just a couple of social rejects in a basement with childhood issues... :lol

Castle Grayskull® Lives! Minimum Production Goal Hit!
Posted by Admin on November 13th, 2012

MOTUC Fans,
You did it! In a last minute rush, you fans rallied the troops and saved Castle Grayskull®. Not only were enough pre-orders placed to hit the minimum production goal needed to go into production, you went all He-Man® vs. Skeletor® on it and CRUSHED it!
At the end of next year, you’ll be the proud owner of the biggest, most iconic, most detailed, most accessorized piece of Masters of the Universe® real estate ever built! Pre-orders are now open again* and all pre-orders placed between the original start date of October 16th through January 4th at 9am PT will include a first-ever exclusive Masters of the Universe® Classics cross-sell poster. Not only that, but everyone who pre-orders will have the chance to vote on which MOTUC heroes and villains appear on new Rudy Obrero-designed packaging art (around spring 2013).
If you’ve already placed a pre-order, you’ll receive an email confirming your order is going through. This is only an order confirmation — you will NOT be charged until your Castle Grayskull® ships next year. And if you haven’t placed an order yet, click here now to stake your claim!
We realize you took a leap of faith by pre-ordering based only on a few drawings and a foam mockup. We’re honored and grateful, and know we have the best fans anywhere. The design team is hot to get started on a sculpt that will rock your MOTUC world. We’re hoping to reveal it around New York Toy Fair in February and will keep you updated every step of the way.
On behalf of Mattel and the MattyCollector.com team, a heartfelt “thank you” for making this happen!
–Matty

I told ya Kuzeh! ;)

now on to Snake Mountain
 
Re: NEW MOTU Classics Castle Grayskull Pre-Order NOW!!

HELL YES!

Of course there was a last-minute crush. Of course. These are not the droids you are looking for.

:D

Well it was close already, and though I thought they would've done it even if they were around 90%, it's always good to get official word on it...

As for Snake Mountain... baby steps... I think it's more likely that we get Battle-Ram as pre-orders than SM...

HELL YES!

Of course there was a last-minute crush. Of course. These are not the droids you are looking for.

:D

:lol
 
Re: NEW MOTU Classics Castle Grayskull Pre-Order NOW!!

For Snake Mountain, the 4H should sculpt Scott Neitlich's face on to the top of it, now that would be a proper tribute to the worlds greatest brand manager. :)
 
Re: NEW MOTU Classics Castle Grayskull Pre-Order NOW!!

Wow! This is going to be an awesome display piece. I may just order a second one to keep MIB with what is sure to be amazing boxart by Rudy Obrero. I will have to think about that one.
 
Re: NEW MOTU Classics Castle Grayskull Pre-Order NOW!!

awesome I ordered this at the beginning, I don't have any of the figures, but this was too cool to pass up, I will probably pick up a few of the classics though.
 
Re: NEW MOTU Classics Castle Grayskull Pre-Order NOW!!

Told you this would happen. The therometer was just a poly. It wasn't even CLOSE to the min order mark. It was just a trap to get people to order that might not have otherwise. Either that or the pre-order end date is the real deadline and they felt they're close enough that they'll hit the min number by then and have to give up this "you may get this item" ordering crap.

The only time they've not made something was the YJ figures, and they'll likely eventually make them anyway. I've learn to just never fall for Matty's lies and traps over the years collecting DCUC.
 
Re: NEW MOTU Classics Castle Grayskull Pre-Order NOW!!

Can't wait to see the Horsemen's sculpt for this.
