btw - what does the pre-sale mean? Is that when we can buy / preorder the exclusives???
LOL. I just meant it wasn’t really news worthy announcing an announcement.

You can say that again. Still no word from Mattel… Perhaps Monday? Fans of MOTUC are in uproar on FB that there’s no exclusive for either lines of MOTU.
Meh. What do they expect. the MOTUC line has run its course. They released all the original toy characters, a load of Filmation, NA POP and 200X figures. There really isn’t much left to bother releasing from the line.
Although perhaps the budget has finally run out for the line. I read this last week that the plans for releasing the Snake Mountain that was shown at Toy Fair have been scrapped.

I saw that too! I hope we won’t end up having to beg for a Castle Plundar down the line after it was shown off and pulled like Snake Mountain
Realistically I doubt they will do Castle Plundarr. It was awesome but they never made a toy in the original line.
You probably right. I do hope we at least get Cats Lair and Mumm-Ra’s Tomb. Since I never had these as a child I REALLY REALLY REALLY want these now.

You never know. There are a lot of MOTUC characters I never thought would get made into actions figures.

Could they stop with the tease already. I’m so anxious finding out what it would be. Why announce that there will be a reveal on Friday? I really hope that it will be worth the wait and not a let down. I can hardly wait for the TC line to start. I just hope with all the rumours flying around that TC will be safe and that we will sit at the end of the day with an incomplete set. I need Cheetara, Bengali, Tygra and the kittens first.

Usually they do a pre-sale of tickets for each item, but it’s only if you’re actually going to be picking them up at the Comic Con. After the Con, they put them up for sale on the Matty website, and it’s a bit of a free-for-all trying to get them. I personally have not ever had any issue with getting the ones that I want online after the Con, but I had no interest in last year’s MOTU exclusive, and that’s the one that people seem to have had a hard time getting. The Matty site now says that the exclusives will be revealed in a few more days. Sometimes it’s like the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing over there!
I don’t know about anybody else but the announcement followed by making people wait until about 7 PM EST just to make another announcement of a announcement that may or may not include Thundercats, really just took a “whole lot of wind of the enthusiasm sail” for me. The exclusive figure better be utterly amazing. Don’t get me wrong, I couldn’t be happier for the line and still plan on purchasing them and tracking down exclusives, but this was a great chance to build up hype and connect with all those who subscribed and those on the fence it, just to be let down. Hope this isn’t a common theme with them. Keeping my fingers crossed this will all be forgiven the second I see the Exclusive.
I think there public relations person is a wrestling fan. 
If the exclusive if a 2 Pack of Snowman of Hook Mountain (with helmet, shield and cartoon accurate ice spear) and Snowmeow that he could actually mount. All is forgiven and I will forever keep my mouth shut about the line…

I am placing my bets on a ghost jaga for the exclusive. Personally I would prefer a young jaga or an old jaga before getting the ghost. But I will settle for anything at this point, just start selling me toys already Mattel! Why are we wiating until July?
:tygra:
Very upsetting if they scraped snake mountain, I wanted to buy one of them so badly.
Well lets be honest, there was some very questionable sales tactics by Mattel and Neitlich in regards to meeting the subscription for the Castle Greyskull and the figures.
For all the crying and complaining about having to meet a sub goal to produce a small run of x amount of Castle Greykulls they had a big supply for quite a while and had to reduce the price to get rid of them.
At this point in the line with the line basically finished with all the vintage toy characters already made I really don’t think the numbers of subscribers would be there to support such a piece.
Did you know the original Snake Mountain toy was a repaint of a scrapped jungle playset idea they had, hence why it looks so different from the carton.
Still nothing ?? I’m quickly losing interest here … I’ve been putting up with matty’s hurry up and wait mentality since 2009 … I am now getting fed up.
And the rumors that TC’s might not even see 2017 is also not helping …can’t they just open their mouths and tell us what the hell is going to happen and what not!! … I think after this years subs, I’m done with both MOTU and TC’s … it’s starting to get to me now!!!
Hence why I gave up on MOTUC early in the line and didn’t sub for Thundercats.
No disrespect to people that want the Thundercats exclusive. But NECA is getting my money. 
They have done an amazing job with their video game TMNT sets. :D:love:laugh:):geek
