I read that they were going to keep a year round stock of core characters which is nice for any one starting to get into MOTU Classics. I started a year after they first came out so I had a lot of catching up to do which was all done outside of Mattel.com because in those first few years getting the new figs with out a subscription was nearly impossible if you could not be on their site for 2 hrs in the middle of the day. Everything sold out that day, sometimes in minutes.

I vowed to never miss out or pay rediculous mark up again so the sub is the way to go even though I still have to be online to get the offerings they choose to make after the sub has be finalized.

I just hope their Idea of core characters matches everyone elses expectations.
