I cannot wait for this line! It gives me Super Powers feelings of le. I still have some of the first Marvel Legends at 3.75 and these look like they will fit in nicely.

I do have to say the gamerverse sets are much nicer in hand than I expected. Hope that extends to miles/prowler.

Well, hopefully it means we can now gets mates when movies hit instead of after since we have such a head start.

Zach, I wouldn’t even have a free drink with you. If there was a way to block you on this forum I would the same way I’ve blocked you everywhere else. I have actually had conversations about your brand with retailers since I worked with some. None of them can refute this conspiracy theory claim of yours that hasbro or LEGO are blocking things for DST. From what I’ve seen in person, data runs and online you are a problem as a poor presenter and marketer— and a dick.

Well Star Trek day came and went without so much as a nod from DST. We won’t ever get these mates will we?

That EXACT QUOTE means you lost a sale due to a lack of awareness. You need to do your job and ACTUALLY get to know your audience. $8 plus tax may not be a lot to YOU but it is clearly for some people including kids. What the poster said was “I have a budget. I didn’t know about these figures. I budgeted for A Marvel Legends figure (which is the same price point as buying both sets). The figure I was PLANNING on buying is better than these 4 figures I didn’t know about. I’m sticking to my plan.” What you aren’t getting is that HAD they known about the figures they MAY have budgeted for BOTH or been so excited that even though the figures aren’t as good as said Legend they may have been persuaded into buying the figure. I get you are defensive about this but if you actually put your ego aside and LISTENED To what I and some of the other marketers on here have been telling you for years it would probably would be beneficial for the brand. As for your earlier comment toward me: DST is not marvel. You will never BE Marvel. You license THEIR product and instead of getting the Halo effect early you blow it and then claim a lack of interest. Look at what Hasbro just did with their ridiculous Sentinel. They got so much brand affinity that people are waiting a YEAR for a delivery after paying hundreds of Dollars. How do they do that? Brand love— which DST doesn’t have with the mass market and with the way DST is marketing you never will.

First off I thought we had an understanding to ignore each other on here since it isn’t an enjoyable experience for either of us. Secondly: the EXACT quote is: Well, this came out of nowhere. Sadly didnt know about them so didnt budget for them and they arent better then the Legends stuff I did budget for.

I appreciate the comment about not knowing to budget for them. Since this IS a toy and kids (of all ages) do have Budget strains it is nice. Also demand is a basic principle of advertising and you know distribution.

I’ve gone from disappointed, to rage to full on expecting it. It’s almost as if they want to go out of business.

Where in the country are you based?

Well this is a “fun” surprise. Looks like there is a gamer line we knew nothing about that’s out.

They are available here https://shop.diamondselecttoys.com/dc-vinimates-emerald-knight-green-lantern-eccc-2020vinyl-figure prayers to you navigating the site from hell.

This applies to many things.

Nope. I’m with you on this one.

He’s here:

True we do still get them. Now I always buy a set from a LCS but the majority I buy from Luke. For Walgreens stuff I buy and ship out to anyone in need.

They probably do and they all seem to be Original Fans.

Weirdly I'm with you. The brick and mortar apocalypse was coming and the need for a good online store had already caught up with DST but the thought of what if... that will always be haunting. We could have had several waves of goodness. Or maybe just the same waves that ended up at Walgreens. Hell, it would have ben great to have a 30th anniversary wave celebrating the New Warriors but we rarely get nice things anymore.

Well, this was a depressing read: https://getpocket.com/explore/item/tears-r-us-the-world-s-biggest-toy-store-didn-t-have-to-die?utm_source=pocket-newtab

Every now and then I like to remind myself of all the great figures we didn’t get. I’m a sadist.

Happy Terminator Day. Hope someone posted pics for it.

Wow... I had forgotten that! Then yeah we could have two star fleet officers, a Romulan and a Borg. Just make sure to give us a Worf head.

Yes, but I only care about TNG and above. So if she is their "default" they don't care about breasts.

100% especially since the Star Trek mates don’t show Breasts or chests apparently. So that means we need one Red, one Blue, one Yellow and a Klingon, Romulan, or a Borg. And you have a set. It’s not really rocket science and it’s such low hanging fruit it makes me furious. Like don’t go into the basement horror movie angry.

This thread is exhausting. I’m exhausted by leading this horse to water. Clearly there is demand for this product from consumers. Do a crowd funding 4 pack if you don’t want to be embarrassed by having to pull things like Jackie Chan and John Wick.
