I don't care about this guy, I fail to see why he is something of a celebrity in the collector community and couldn't care less where he is off to. Now Zach Oat, that's a cool guy. He is on the minimates forums all the time and isn't anywhere near the douche "Toyguru" seems to be.

Equally terrible?

First off, people gave up posting questions because of the corporate mission statements we would always get back for answers.

Secondly, after seeing what Mattel would and would not answer, I tried to send questions that would normally get a well thought out answer. When we got even more not-answers, people stopped posting questions. It was to the point where only CMIII and a handful of others would either post or bicker over how Mattel or their PR team wasn't answering anything, just responding with generic statements and "look forward to what we are coming up with next year!". Given some of the answers that we got, I don't blame fans for giving up hope in the mattycollector q & a.

You may think that I did an "equally terrible" job picking questions but I damn well tried to do something right and tried to get good answers. I went as far as to reword some questions as to pry more information out of them. Hell pry ANY information. I don't get paid for this but I still put in the effort to try and get anything aside from corporate mission statement responses. No one likes hearing "we take all your criticism and responses into account when designing these toys, look forward to our new lineup for next year for more " when someone asks if a certain character will make it into MOTUC, DCUC or whatever mattycollector was offering. Hell my example was longer than most of the answers they gave back to us.
