So has anyone heard if this is actually happening next Friday and what is being offered? I should be heading back from vacation around that time and hope the $80 in my account covers things. Need to make sure everything is set up before I leave just in case I hit a deadzone for coverage.

April 16th, not March.

They've said that Doomsday was out for this year because he would be all new tooling. I could see the shaggy Shaggy Man using some Grodd/Ultra-Humanite parts or the General version using the Kilowog buck. I would say that Elasti-Girl is a sure bet for one of the two remaining slots and (maybe) Winged Victory for the other.

Winged Victory makes sense. Mattel already has a winged horse in the MOTUC line, so I imagine it would be simple to reuse the parts. And maybe that means we'll get a Shining Knight figure as well.

So did anyone here win Jay or Atroctcus on ebay?

They just finished out tonight, Jay at $121.25 And Atrocticus at $102.50

I went to 100 on the red lantern and 70 on Jay before I bowed out.

I'm curious if I was bidding against anyone here?

Wow. I'll have two of each for 30 bucks in a few months. Certainly wasn't bidding on those.

Now that they have the character selection sorted out...somewhat (Flash is April, Atrocitus and Metron are May), we may have something more troubling to worry about. Please note that the following has not yet been officially confirmed:

Some people over on He-man.org are reporting yesterday that Digital River has been hacked and personal information has been stolen! Even though Digital River was hacked late in 2010, that did not affect MattyCollector users. It sounds like this more recent attack may have gotten Matty users.

http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/showthread.php?222237-New-Security-Issues-with-Digital-River

Here's what one of the Orgers wrote in that forum.

I was told today that Digital River's system was "hacked" (word used by the rep calling from my card company), and personal information / card numbers were "stolen" (also the word used by the rep).

So far as I can tell no one else is reporting this and there is no official word or confirmation from either Digital River or Mattel.

My advice for everyone is to take a "wait and see" approach to this rumor until verified, but at the same time dilligently watch your account for any unauthorized charges.

I'm starting to agree with you.

Initially I really liked it. And the figure by itself I like, but it does not fit well with the others IMO.

Eh he works for me. He turned out better than I was expecting and he's a robot, so who cares how big he is*?

*Obviously, I realize that people who have a connection to him or were big fans will care

Actually, Rocket Red is a human inside a suit. So he shouldn't be much taller than a regular size figure.

That's my point, it's essentially a robot. Why couldn't he be as big as STRIPE?

They really needed to use the Bane C&C buck for this.

Maybe, it's just me, but a human in a suit and a robot are 2 different things.

I don't consider Iron Man a robot.

Also, in the comics, he's not much taller than any other hero.

Makes me glad that I didn't buy into the sub.

Alright, then a man in the suit. Why can't the suit be any size he wants? I know it's wrong compared to the comics but it's not a deal breaker for someone like me who doesn't know much about Red anyway.
