    What do you think is EMCE's POV about all this?

    Lets speculate. What do you think the good folks at EMCE think about what's going on?

    I am sure they are probably frustrated that we can't buy all the figures we want. My guess is that they are not trying to artificially create a demand by not meeting our need.

    They are probably struggling to get the figures into our hands.

    What do you think is going on over there?

    Hard to speculate. The EMCE guys never post here or share their thoughts. Enigmatic dudes.

      I hear that the EMCE guys personally drive to every Toys R Us to deliver the figures, and if the Toys R Us manager is a jerk, they just give them a box full Luthors and Sinestros.

      Then they sit in the parking lot eating Taco Bell laughing themselves silly.

        So the member with the username 'EMCEtoys' who posts here all the time - sharing thoughts about the new line(s) - isn't affiliated with EMCE Toys?

          Of course not! The same way I'm neither affiliated with Ladies or Zods.

            Not sure what "they" think about what your talking about.. but.. "they" are indeed here, and post under their username that is "their" company name.

                  I thought we were all commenting in jest. I mean, the idea was to "speculate" (read: make up crap we know nothing about)

                      I think their participation is high on this board. It's clear they listen to constructive feedback and try to pass that on to the manufacturer (where applicable). I think they also weigh our feedback when they design these figures. Wave 3 is evidence of that. And I think (or hope) Wave 4 will be revised based on early assessments of the prototypes. We'll see. Obviously you will never satisfy everyone. But then again, there is only so much you can do when your role is more messenger than maker in this process. Mattel ultimately makes the call. But I think it's a foregone conclusion that everyone from EMCE down is frustrated with the distribution issues. I'm confident they didn't foresee this problem anymore than we could have ourselves. I DO believe Wave 3 is a critical offering in this line up. Mattel needs to get this wave widely distributed and I hope the response is as positive as what mine has been. I now own two Flash figures ( I have to have one to open on Christmas morning ). For the criticisms I have bestowed upon this series, I am still trying to do my part to support it, because I do not want it to end.

                      The body issues are fixed and no one else is making Mego superheroes. And there is likely no one on this planet that has more love of the Mego universe than Paul and Joe. So I would much prefer to lay my faith in their hands than critique this line into an early demise. Their our first, best hope. So I say let's give this line another chance and get behind Paul and Joe. I think the train is back on the tracks, but needs a little push to get some momentum going.

                            Yeah, I was kidding. I didn't even quite understand the original poster's question but it so I went with sarcasm. Not very mature I suppose.

                            I just think it's kind of insulting that Doc and Emce come here and share so much information and answer so many questions and yet there's still these vaguely conspiratorial "what do you realllly think they are up to" conversations. Maybe someone should start a ReMego Wikileaks to get to the bottom of these nefarious cabals.

                              Really funny. I found a lot of humor in this thread. LOL !!!! I really needed some laughs today. I'm sure it'll make Paul and Joe laugh too.
