I hope this is a lesson to both Hasbro and Mattel to stop doing these stupid early bird gimmicks. Sure it usually helps hit the base goal much quicker, but the momentum gained from that is killed immediately afterward when everyone else that is just a little late to support it realizes they are missing out. Since Mattel already changed the rules once, they should have graciously said everyone gets the King Greyskull figure no matter what the end goal was. If they had done that much sooner, it might have reached 10k. But now we'll never know.

I'm still hoping Mattel will offer Ecklar separately as an online exclusive at some point next year. They are foolishly just throwing away money by not offering him in some form of release. The same applies for all those tier figures in the Ghost Rider set. Lots of people would buy those figures in a box set or individually on Pulse if offered as some kind of exclusive.
