No Jan 29 clue?

[ovenmitt]

No clue for tomorrow Jan 29? Or will there be pre-orders?

[powersthatbe]

personally I don't care for any Friday clues for a while,i like to see the pre-orders start,there has already been enough announced to satisfy for a bit.

At this point in our FTC lives, do we really need clues about what's "coming out next"?

I wish FTC could use all original Mego art for these retro packaging.

Hope WINDOW BOXES are next!

[thunderbolt]

good, more money saved for me. Variants and redressed figures are a big yawn to me. Must be a problem with Batgirl or RC Batman that we aren't seeing that wave before the surfing set. And where in the heck is Catwoman. She is a sorely missing figure in the 66 line.

As somebody who works all week on the newsletter when you guys do this, it tells me to just give up.

Nah! Please don't!

[Brown Bear]

Agreed, if they post it early, why bring it to our attention. I would have preferred to see this in the newsletter first. Just stop already.

I enjoy the newsletters since I see that as the official source of what's new and what's coming up.

I also enjoy the hints to what is coming as the speculation seems to rev up the anticipation.

I do have figures that I'm looking forward to and even if the hint is for a pre-order, I consider it a good thing. There is a lot on the list for this year coming up and I'm eager to get to it!

Yeah, I'd like to see this stuff in the Newsletter. It's fun to have all the Mego news in one spot.

Given that some of this stuff can be extremely limited, I'd kind of prefer to know when it comes up. I know nothing from FTC seems to sell out quickly, but you never know if they'll hit something that disappears fast. I know the posting of the newletter doesn't seem to have a huge lag, but I don't see the problem with info getting out as soon as someone notices. The newsletter is still useful to folks who only stop by the front page.

These announcements are supposed to be exclusive to the MM newsletter, but FTC seems to like to blow it for Brian by listing stuff before the official MM time.

Well, that's your opinion but as someone who puts a tremendous pile of energy into the content, care and management of this place, I find it demotivating this weird race to "Scoop" us on our own forums.

Nothing has ever "sold out" in a fell swoop, so the argument that it NEEDS to be published immediately is specious.

But whatever, I guess I'm wrong to feel this way, after all the newsletter is only good for a minority like you said. We've been trying to grow the hobby but it seems that we should reevaluate our plan.

They load it before end of day so they're ready in the morning to accept pre-orders. We're on the same time zone and I like to get the newsletter out before 8am, so i'm OK with them doing that. It doesn't happen with new reveals.
