@onlyoneskeletor Agree. It's a good way to expand it. But can we finish the vintage line first starting with Two Bad?

@kraken no, because mattel fears that some fans will just drop off once the vintage figures are finished. They want to give us a vintage figure every once in a while, and in between those give us other things so that we stay hooked. In a way, collecting is a lot like an addiction and Mattel knows it.

@smitty-81 It blows that Mattel got us hooked and they are exploiting that. I know Mattel is waiting to complete the vintage line at the end of the Origins line. Just watch Origins go belly up because they tried one too many crossovers and Mattel loses major money on MOTU meets Ghostbusters or something stupid like that and executives pull the plug on Origins. Then Mattel tells us we would love to finish the vintage line but sales was no longer there for Origins. I can see that happening.

@kraken I can't. Turtles of Grayskull is doing very well and people seem excited about the upcoming Thundercats crossover. Rules of the Sun was met with a mixed reaction but that's over. The Stranger Things set seemed to do fine but those were just the two sets. I'm not sure what other properties would work well with MOTU, Transformers could be fun, but I don't see that being more than one or two figure. DC has worked in the past.

@smitty-81 Stranger Things looks like a bust to me. All the Target stores I go to can't seem to move the Skeletor pack and Target.com was selling them half off a couple of days ago.
