They already told us that original Lair (the one that looked bothing like the poll sketch) would have cost more than V2. And absolutely nobody is happy about 300 bucks for the V2 set they foolishly ju...

It was basically no plans just yet but somehow, presumably coloured differently or plussed up or something as a Cretins or other exclusive.

My god the state of this:

Origins isn't the issue, it was always gonna be the biggest of the two because of nostalgia, being cheaper and not being tied to a toxic Netflix show initially. Masterverse made and makes the launch ...

Imagine having a livestream to hype a crowdfund (it went up the whole 1 percent it's been going up every day now anyway) and telling backers it wasn't what the people making it wanted! Fake whoever sh...

That's the one good thing about Mattel, they hate to waste tooling!

Did they say that themselves? As a woman will, my girlfriend was telling me about... something or other during the bloody livestream!

So you get a holographic poster, strong packaging and no news on a payment plan as many in the chat asked for. Calling the Lair a 'limited edition' and muttering about paint and how it has four levels...

My god get rid of that daft host! And they're still keeping Slither as an early bird instead of just throwing her in. Steve might be even faker than, well, Faker.

I had that thought too, I'd love them, but they should be made to order IMO. And you just know Mattel would be throwing stuff like the Jet Sled and Bolt in there lmao.

Australia gets a lot of things first because it's literally about shipping to that location from China and Vietnam. Still doesn't explain how Germany gets stuff so early though...

They really are gonna have to pull out something, the narrative has completely gotten away from them. The count is only going up 1 or 2% each day and it needs an immediate bump just to remove some dou...

Honestly even Eternos would be a massive stretch, literally. You've got the Filmation gang already looking shaky because of 200x and the upcoming movie (whatever Mattel says), plus the set would have ...

It is a curious one. They can't even do Crystal Castle or Starship Eternia unless they properly support those properties. Filmation Grayskull... what the hell do you put inside it other than Sorceress...

The thing about crowdfunds is the immediate amount they bring in in one go, changing an entire column or three for a month or two... that's what they're really about. That'why they'll be around for as...

Schadenfreude is kicking in and I really wanna see how Mattel will prop the Lair up tomorrow!

Tbh the one on the left isn't great either! Decades of appearances to choose from and Mattel still can't swing it.

Also there's a good chance with how crowdfunds have been going for the big two recently that slightly retooled tiers and indeed repainted crowdfunds as standard releases are gonna be a thing. There's ...

Lol. Why do they only send these codes out to certain people? It's bizarre.

Jay (GDL) did a poll asking that, at the current 30+% of funding, did the chat members think the Lair would fund. Only slightly more than half (58%) thought it would. Mattel are gonna throw Pythonus i...

Same. Kills me they're probably too late for my collecting (I have an insane MOTU collection as in multiple copies of figures, both major playsets x2, the FZ on the way, vehicles/steeds... and that's ...

Catching up with Geek Dad Life and there's a suggestion Mattel sent out a 20% off code for the Lair? I didn't receive anything and it's the first I've heard of it... Also they did a poll on their prev...

My guess is if things don't look better fast they'll call a Priest in lol. It's INCREDIBLE that they outright asked if 300 bucks sounded right like that was the only criteria, like it didn't matter if...

In short the whole project has been fishy from day one. Longer explanation follows... Mattel did a crowdfund poll where you could vote as many times as you wanted if you knew how. The poll had loads o...

Great little insights along the way, thanks!
