Marketing = win, we're all drooling and can't wait. So what if a few are still surprises for later still? They still got NYCC and the 2011 toyfair to keep stuff for.



Exactly.

I'm a little saddened we didn't see everything new either, but typically speaking, we only ever see the upcoming 2 next year waves anyway. More will come at each subsequent show. That's how it's always been, that's how it'll stay. Wets your appetite, and keeps you revvin to buy more.

Mattel on the other hand, had to show all their cards just about to keep people with em. So they have to splatter shot all kinds of obscure and fan favorites, cause that's what drives this line, whereas Hasbro has so much wealth to draw on and media exposure, and high sales, it's kinda moot, but at least they cater to all, fans and kids alike, over Mattel's more collector line push.

I rather have a successful line that stays around, than a scalped line that never gets distributed.

Perhaps, then, I should explain my issue is the fact that we were told to expect info on the "What If?" teasers from the guy on that site and it did not happen, at least not to the degree I would have wished. I understand that yes, It got us all hyped, but it somehow feels more like "teasing" then the phrase "tease" was supposed to imply in these cases.
