Is it odd that Mattel won't be at NYCC this year? I'm not too familiar with the con, so I'm not sure how often they've been there. Kinda sucks, cause that means no real Mattel news between SDCC and Toy Fair.

I may not be a smart man but this is going to go the way the Civil War went for the South great at first then Horrific at the end.

It's a marketing technique. By being vague about the number of "limited" subscriptions, rather than commiting to any real number, they'll drive up interest and sell more subs. At least that's what they hope to do. It's MOTU, and the "last" year, so it'll work.

It's kinda like their percentage of subscriptions sold thermometers. Absolute BS.

Also there will be no "Cherry Picking" in 2015....

Though I'm not sure about that...
