So with all of the Hulk Hogan drama, coupled with the NWO/Scott Hall speculation amongst other things, when do you all think we will hear from Bill to help clarify some of this mess? Evwm besides the points I raised above I feel that we as a board have expressed many concerns that have basically been ignored ever since comic con in San Diego. Where as Bill typically says a few words to us on the matter to clarify or put us at ease. Even if it's a question he doesn't have an answer to yet, like "what happens to Hollywood hogan's spot in the DM line" I feel like he could at least say they are looking into it now or something like that.

When the tantrums die down, perhaps so.

No, Mattel made a official announcement on twitter. Why would Bill repeat it?

I am a bit surprised Bill hasn't mentioned or said anything about the whole Hogan thing... he's actually posted 2 or 3 times since too.
And surely it doesn't affect any Scott Hall/other NWO releases(?).

If all it takes is a bit of moaning to stop someone from coming on here or answering questions that people have then is there much point coming at all?
No info breeds uncertainty, uncertainty breeds negativity. Why should people care about a product if they feel they are being ignored or treated with mild contempt.
We are consumers & fans as much as the younger audience mattel targets, I love this hobby, I love 95% of what Mattel/bill puts out. I give constructive criticism when I can and I give praise when I see something I like.
I do wish Mattel had more engagement with us but it's clear they will do what they want regardless so why do they need to talk to us?
We have loads of genuine questions not based around hogan. Why is qc going down and corners being cut yet prices have gone up? Flashback jericho, lita, aba taker etc.... Id also so thanks for the amazing figures we have gotten recently too but I'd rather no engagement then meaningless engagement done as a last resort to shut us up for a bit.
Alternatively, Bill is probably in it up to his eyeballs at the moment with everything going on so he has more important things to do that he is paid to sort out. He too is also a fan and would like nothing more than to chat rubbish all day with us but there are only so many hours in the day.
It's a difficult balance I'd imagine.

Well, Ringside never said nay to the Hall figure yet, so I'd have to assume it's still on.
It would be interesting to know whether the Hogan slots are getting filled by something totally new, reshuffle of sdcc reveals, a rerelease, or GAB Sting. One thing's for sure though, it sadly won't be Hulk or Hollywood. I'm sure it'll be sorted out by RSF, but ugh...that's like 2 months from now.

Ya I hope we don't get a bunch of rushed stuff to replace all the Hogan's. That's my concern. That would be like a double whammy.

They've already made a statement regarding Hogan.

If Bill had to deal with excessive snark and negativity from here before the Hulk Hogan Embargo, I seriously doubt he wants to enter the wolves' den with people looking to rip him a couple of new ones for things beyond his control. He only answers things that is approved by his bosses. I doubt he is going to risk his dream job just to pacify a few.

I was just thinking about that cancelled DM wave with Savage and Rey. Y'know, I wouldn't mind seeing this guy on the shelves come January.

But I believe the majority here are sane, rational minded people who just have honest queries. You get miserable toerags in every walk of life, the internet just exacerbates this. Wfigs is no more crazy then the real world, if you're too easily offended by a vocal minority to not speak to your fans then that's a bit sad.

But folks here want to ask him about distribution issues and QA problems. Or what is the lineups for the 10 elite series. He doesn't spend everyday on the board lurking. He doing his job. Bill isn't on call like a mod. I look at him talking to folks here or giving info as a privilege not a right.
