That is fine and dandy but you missed the point. This is a MOTUC APPRECIATION thread and I see very little (if any) appreciation in any of your posts in this thread. It seems every time something worthwhile or positive is posted on this thread, all you do is contribute a negative statement and I am just tired of it.

But you are welcome to continue to do so, just as I am welcome to post my frustration about it.

Thanks for the early access update 3233rafael. I almost forgot to order the Battle Ram today. I got my order in and it cost the exact same as yours did (not surprising since we are both Texans).

MOTUC is NOT DEAD!

Very nice collection 3233rafael! Do you buy extras to open or have a loose collection?

I decided early on I wouldn't be keeping these sealed as the packaging is not the most appealing for me (if it was vintage red and blue I probably would've had a sealed and loose MOTUC collection).

Thank you, MOC always! What I like about these MOTUC is that the cards never changed even after years of being out. I still hate how DCUC changed packing from a smaller card to a larger card for the anniversary. I don't dislike the larger card they did but why not keep it the same size...just my opinion.

What would you guys like to see in the future? For 2016, I would love to see more MOTUC figures with the line focusing on 2.0 versions and alternate versions which include different weapons and accessories. If they make variant editions of figures which are now rare and out of production, I think it would preserve value of the original editions while offering a more affordable option for fans who missed out the first time around.

[soundwavempl]

I would like to see more NA figures in the future, as well as missing Filmation characters like Lord Masque. NA figures will be my biggest want as the old 90s toys translate great into modern MOTUC figures. Unfortunately, those are the worst selling figures in MOTUC, so probably not much chance they will be produced.

I would also like some concept figures, mainly the Horde Mummy and some other 200X figures such as the Horde Wraith.

I am hoping 2016 will include a lot of the fan demanded characters from the He-man.org poll.

I got my Peekablue today also, and finally got the shipping notice for Kallix yesterday.

Me too, I had to call them because I though they had forgotten about my subscription or something. Turns out they had an error in the system and they had to check again who had ordered the new club subscription. They should've shipped together.

Maybe they will refund the shipping on Kallix....Wait, of course not, what was I thinking.

From my understanding when you have multiple subscriptions, the first shipment always ships separately. Shipping on subs doesn't combine until after the second figure in the other sub ships - at least that is how it used to work.

Maybe, but I'm just going by what the customer service lady on the phone told me. I was on hold for almost an hour because she couldn't find in the system that I was enrolled in their 200X Club when in fact, I had enrolled since day one. She then said that several of us had called with the same issue and that Peekablue & Callix should've been shipped together.

One a separate note, Does anybody know what the packing for the "Collector's Choice" sub is going to look like? I need to know because if it's not the same as the classics then I am done collecting this toy line. I have seen the new packing for the other 2016 sub and it's different but it is unclear to me if the collector's choice will change or remain the same. I just don't have space for the new packing as it appears to be a bulkier box.

[soundwavempl]

Packaging will stay the same with the "Collector's Choice" sub but there will be a "Collector's Choice" burst on the side of the package. This was confirmed at Mattypalooza - go to the 20:10 mark of this video for when they said it:

Great! Thanks for the info.

[Phantomcrow]

I Would have called it quits also, But I also saw that the packaging will stay the same for the CC sub. That and the fact that there are 4 Horde Characters in it. Despera, Vultak, General Sunder , and the Horde Wraith. Damn my love of the Evil Horde!! I will be passing on the 2.0/ Funimation figures with the exception of Evil Lyn. I love her (I blame Meg Foster:-) ) but this will be the first time she will be in 80's cartoon correct colors.

Mattel wants a 10-20% size reduction with Snake Mountain.

BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just don't get how the 4H can sculpt a prototype of SM, and not collaborate with Mattel on how big it should be. One would think after the Castle Grayskull bait and switch, Mattel would handle this better. Instead they show us a Corvette, and tell us we're getting a Chevette instead.

At least this time they are telling us up front and not after they take orders. And I totally expected it to get the cost down.

[KITT]

Very true, They did in fact tell us it would be reduced in size at the con, but merely so no one can accuse them of a bait and switch. Now were being told it will be what I consider a drastic reduction at 10-20%. But were all supposed to be okay with that since they told us upfront that it would be scaled down, just not by how much. Honestly, it's the same games, just played slightly different. Transparency? LOL! Mattel is using the ol' OBAMA strategy I see. LOL!
