Plain and simple. For people to expect anything else is just ridiculous. They don't owe anybody anything.

Personally, I'm good with the price increase. $5 more is not a deal-breaker for me. Now I will agree that buying in blindly into the sub is a bit of a leap of faith. Especially now with the price increase. There were a few figures during the 2012 sub that people were very upset about having to buy. Can't blame anyone for that. If the production schedule is already in place so far in advance, as ToyGuru has stated on numerous occasions, I don't see why they can't release the entire list of planned figures for sub. Yes, things may get switched around, but it's going to be minor changes. We don't need to see pics or prototypes or anything like that. Just a list will suffice. It would put a lot of people at ease and let them know exactly what their money is being spent on.

I disagree. They owe us better customer service for those who have had issues. Better QC. I've read about a lot of Snout Spouts trunks cracking, backwards pieces, Goddess and her exploding crotch. To which Matty's response was. "We don't have any more Goddess figures and will not be making more so we can't replace your figures. But if you mail them back, we will refund you.'' So you pay $30 for the figure shipped, spend 10 to ship it back, to get a refund of 20. So you're still out $20 and a figure. Real helpful Matty! What they owe us most. Is to listen to our feedback & criticism, whether constructive or otherwise. They are indeed snobs. But I still want my MOTUC and no the $5 is not a deal breaker to me. Tho it's close.

Just ran across this.
