I don’t even chop it up with X-men fans beyond a certain window: Claremont - Byrne/Smith/JRJR/Silvestri. It’s not out of hate, or animus, I simply lost interest in the squad after those years and have only read/followed-up sporadically. It does sound like things are a mess in X-Land tho'...

I’ve thought the same things while consuming the feedback here on the Ark for both projects. It’s been interesting watching as a (largely) third-party observer.

Hey look, over 5 thousand people thought this car was worth backing at one point, well over 4 thousand still do, but something tells me that Hasbro themselves felt this was lacking, hence the Mephisto fig being locked behind it. I won’t comment on this again, I don’t want to rub people up the wrong way.

You don't have to refrain from commenting, it’s not really an issue for me, or, I imagine, any of the other people that genuinely wanted Mephisto, Robbie, and whomever else they had planned. My point, if there is one, is more about there being nothing left to really say. And if the people that actually wanted this shit aren’t belaboring the issue, then what sense is there in those who’ve been opposed from the start continuing to beat this same horse. For example, I think that Eternia playset is complete trash and looks goofy as hell. It absolutely is not worth the money given its preschool design sensibilities and to boot, it also looks like that same cheap plastic they used to make those green cobblestone tiles and stands years ago. Those things cracked and split with the normal attrition of seasons spent in INDOOR storage. But I’m not going to go over to the playset thread and trash it, or the people that want it. To do so would be a waste of my time considering I see zero value in the set and view it as a non-factor and unworthy of my attention.
