Isn't the new MOTU Origins line going to be sold in retail stores, compared to the Classics line? If so, I don't understand why Mattel couldn't have let Super 7 continue the Classics line as an online preorder based system since it wouldn't have conflicted/competed with their new Origins line at retail. That was the arrangement NECA initially had wiht Playmates with the TMNT figures. Seems real selfish of Mattel, considering many collectors are still wanting more MOTU Classics figures.

I'm definitely among those who views the new Origins line as being a huge step backwards in sculpting/articulation/scale compared to what they were doing with the Classics line and have no desire to start over again with a new MOTU line that looks inferior to the line I was already collecting for the last 10 years.
