Platinum Carpet V.I.P- Board Master

"OT: Batman/action figure fans, help required" , posted Fri 30 Jan 23:33

UGH -___- I'm going to sound like a spam message, I'm terrible sorry, but as anyone who reads my post knows, I'm an avid action figure collector. I'm greatly enjoying the Mattel Batman line, but as everyone even remotely familuar with toys knows short-packing has plauged the line since day one... but there's something fans can do to ensure they can find whatever figure they want, although not in stores:

The Mattel Brand Manager for the Batman line has wanted to start a Collector's Club, so while children can buy their Scuba and Jet Pack Batmans in toy stores, adult fans could order harder to find figures off-line (and possibly even figures Mattel wouldn't release to stores because they have no "kid appeal" or ones the larger chains refuse to carry)... I guess parents could order villians off line for the kids too, but I digress

HOWEVER! The higher ups at Mattel still don't think there's no real adult market for Batman toys. The way to change their mind is to enter and compete in this contest:

the more people who play, the more serious collectors Mattel knows are out there, the more likely that club will take place... plus they're prizes!

If you're not busy Feb.15th at 9pm Eastern time, PLEASE enter!!!

For ol'friend Baghead please help out this cause ^__^' I'm going to crack if I have to wake up at 5am to hunt down the one Bruce Wayne shipped to the tri-city area.
