Retro action petition

[alex]

Why is the thread closed?, what happened?

[Brown Bear]

I may be wrong, but I suspect the intention is "read it, then sign the peptition"....not, let's talk about it.

^^ agreed

a discussion of the pros and cons of this sort of thing can exist in another thread rather than distracting from the primary purpose of the petition itself.

I might suggest to anyone who is letter writing or campaigning for another manufacturer of DC toys to take up the slack to link to both the petition result page and to the Matty forum discussion of 'save the RA' line.

I would also suggest that anyone who wants Mattel to consider online exclusives for this line purchase the Kyle Raynor figure due out on the 15th of July.

Ok Guys we have over 600 active members please sign up, if U liked them or not, and help the rest of us out, also if possible join in the "mattycollector" forum, it will only take a few minutes. It would be a terrible shame if we just sat back, and did nothing,with all the hard work that Doc and the crew have put in. I still believe we have a slim chance, to squeeze a few more figures out of Mattel. So come on folks SIGN UP !!!!!!! Please x 100000000000

the second wave of Lost figures from BBP was saved due to a campaign to preorder spearheaded by our own MegoScott. His efforts to bring attention to the Lost line via his petitions and blogs stirred up enough interest to warrant BBP releasing these as a convention special.

Unfortunately, with the RA situation, we don't have preorder numbers for Matty to see what would go into the bank for them. The only monetary/sale indicator they have is the final GL figure up for sale on 7/15 at Matty.com

So again, in addition to the letters and petitions, I suggest showing your support by purchasing that figure and finding other folks within your collecting/playing/comic enjoying influence and convincing them to purchase a figure as well.

[MegoScott]

Actually, while BBP loved the campaign and the support we gave it....it didn't make a bit of difference. I probably convinced a few people to try them, but in the end it was a business decision based on their relationship with ABC.

But taking action to counter-act the negativity that was swirling around them was a good thing to do.

I signed the petition and support all efforts to channel our energy into something positive and who knows what can happen.

[Type3Toys]

Then it is settled, MegoScott should spearhead this movement as well!!!!

Just kidding Scott. Look, I am not even a DC fan and I dont want to see these go away. It took me all of 5 seconds to slap my name down. I am looking ahead to 'What could be" in this scale. LURKERS, please, take a second from your busy day and join this cause.

I just signed it @ number 52.
