The guy from Playmates never said anything about a Classic Krang figure in the interview. One of the guys on the Podcast who is a Transformers guy later said during the Q&A portion of the show that he thought someone at the Playmates booth during Powercon mentioned it, but wasn't sure. The others on the Podcast thought he might have gotten confused, mistaking it for the retro stuff.

It's one thing for a guy on a message board to post something on a forum which 9 times out of 10 is conjecture or misunderstanding and another for a toy news website to report that as factual news without doing any kind of verification or at the very least going to the original source of the information, don't you think?

Nowhere does it say that this is "factual" in any way. Rumors are part of our reporting, not only here, but all of our sites. Always have been always will be. As a fan run site, we post what we want and how we want to. If we want to quote a 5 year old saying he heard that Hasbro will steal MOTU away from Mattel, we'd be free to do so.

And I don't have anything else to say on the matter. You've said your peace and I've said mine.

Let's get this back to the actual topic of the thread.
