Sucks that we don't get major heads up anymore :/ ... few people ruin it for everybody it seems.
Did Bill actually announce figure line-ups before? I don't remember that, but then again, I haven't followed this board for a long period of time.

There were hints and stuff. The interactivity was the best, like asking our opinions for attires. He did give us heads up's, though. I think my favorite MDT post was "terremoto".

They're lame as far as building excitement and hints. They're only spiting themselves.

I, like many others, am not going to be able to wait to find Samoa Joe in mass retail and will likely end up blind pre-ordering him from RSC.

no. the most we'd get was when RSC or another source revealed the line-ups....Bill would come in and tell us what figures have new heads and mention a couple accessories that some of the figs would get. But he stopped doing that loonnng before the whole e39 sting nonsense.

To be fair, while completely aware of all of Jakks' faults (lets not mention chinese new year) the one thing they were good at were posting photos, lineups and interacting with the fans. JeremyPadawer would regularly frequent this forum & talk about lineups, etc. I seem to even remember a few forum based Q&A sessions. He would take both the good and the bad criticism - and to be fair he got WAY more stick than Mattel do but took it like a pro! I think the one thing i liked was Protos & Line Ups for different lines were always regular but staggered so it felt like there was always something to check the forums for. These days it seems its all or nothing and months can go buy with zero news. If we had the amazing quality Mattel work (kudos to Bill & his team) along with Jeremy's communication and PR that to me would be a winning combination!
